Why is professional AC cleaning important in Dubai homes and offices?

Dubai’s climate creates constant high humidity inside AC systems, which encourages microbial growth. Without proper cleaning, AC units can circulate contaminants throughout indoor spaces.

How is Saniservice different from standard AC cleaning companies in the UAE?

Most AC cleaners focus on visible dust. Saniservice follows a scientific indoor environmental remediation process that targets microbial sources, moisture behavior, and airflow contamination.

Is AC mould common in Dubai buildings?

Yes. Due to year-round AC use, high humidity, and sealed buildings, AC-related microbial growth is extremely common in Dubai residential and commercial properties.

Why does simple AC duct cleaning often fail to solve air quality issues?

Duct cleaning alone does not address coils, drain pans, humidity imbalance, or microbial reservoirs. Without correcting these, contamination quickly returns.

How does Saniservice assess whether an AC system is contaminated?

We begin with system inspection and risk assessment, examining moisture patterns, airflow paths, and areas prone to microbial growth rather than relying on visual assumptions.

Why is fogging not an effective AC disinfection method?

Fogging treats air temporarily but does not remove contamination from coils, drains, or surfaces where microbes grow. It masks symptoms without solving root causes.

Can bleach be used safely inside AC systems?

Bleach fails because it does not penetrate biofilms, can corrode components, and does not correct humidity conditions that allow regrowth.

How does humidity affect AC hygiene in the UAE climate?

Humidity is the primary driver of microbial growth. Without addressing moisture behavior inside the system, cleaning alone will not deliver lasting results.

What does “medical-grade AC disinfection” actually mean?

It refers to controlled cleaning and disinfection methods aligned with indoor environmental health standards, not perfumes or cosmetic sanitizers.

How does Saniservice verify that AC cleaning was effective?

Where required, we use pre- and post-intervention validation methods to confirm that contamination levels have been meaningfully reduced.

Is AC cleaning necessary even if there is no visible mould?

Yes. Microbial contamination often exists inside coils and drains long before visible signs appear, especially in Dubai’s climate.

How often should AC systems be cleaned in Dubai?

Frequency depends on usage, humidity levels, and building type, but most UAE properties require more frequent intervention than cooler climates.

Can poor AC hygiene affect health?

Contaminated AC systems can circulate microbial fragments and irritants that may worsen respiratory symptoms and indoor comfort.

Why does Saniservice sometimes clean less than other companies?

Our methodology focuses on correct intervention. We avoid unnecessary disturbance that can spread contamination or damage system components.

Is this service suitable for villas, apartments, and commercial buildings?

Yes. The same scientific principles apply across residential, commercial, and sensitive environments in the UAE.

How does Saniservice handle AC cleaning in occupied spaces?

We use controlled procedures designed to minimize disruption and prevent the spread of contaminants during cleaning.

What role does airflow play in AC contamination?

Improper airflow allows moisture and particles to settle, creating ideal conditions for microbial growth inside the system.

Can AC cleaning reduce recurring odours?

Yes, when odours are caused by microbial growth or trapped moisture, addressing the source eliminates the problem rather than masking it.

Why is source identification important before disinfection?

Disinfection without understanding the cause leads to recurrence. Our process identifies why contamination formed in the first place.

Who should consider Saniservice’s AC cleaning and disinfection service?

Clients in Dubai who prioritize verified indoor air quality, occupant health, and long-term building performance rather than superficial cleaning.

Should I worry about mold in my living room?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange moldy odor lingering in my living room, which is where we spend most of our time. It's particularly noticeable when my children are playing their games on the floor. This has been going on for about two weeks now, and both my son and daughter have had persistent coughs since then. Are there any specific steps I should take to address this issue and ensure it doesn't affect my family’s health?

Yes, you definitely should be concerned about mold in your living room. Mold growth can lead to several health issues, especially for children who are more susceptible to respiratory problems and allergies. The UAE has strict regulations regarding indoor air quality, particularly concerning molds which could pose health risks like asthma attacks or allergic reactions.

Firstly, it's important to assess the extent of the mold issue. If you've noticed a musty odor, particularly after rain, this is likely a sign that there might be active mold growth. Mold spores can spread quickly in damp environments and may cause respiratory issues for your children who are showing persistent coughs.

Given the situation, I recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection by a professional. They will be able to identify the source of moisture, determine the extent of mold growth, and provide guidance on remediation steps.

In the meantime, take immediate actions such as opening windows if weather permits for better air circulation; avoid using fans that may spread spores around; and clean up any visible mold with a mixture of water and detergent. Do not use bleach unless it's specifically recommended by professionals due to potential health risks when inhaled or absorbed through skin.

UAE building codes require regular maintenance checks, especially after weather events, so ensure your property is well-maintained. This includes checking for leaks, ensuring proper ventilation, and addressing any issues that could lead to moisture build-up like clogged gutters or poor drainage near the house.

Remember, tackling mold isn't just about cleaning it up; you need to address the underlying issue of excess moisture which led to its growth in the first place. Ignoring this could result in recurring problems.

Stay vigilant and proactive to safeguard your family's health.
