How to professionally clean mold from AC in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment in Jumeirah seems to be making my son’s asthma way worse, especially at night. I just pulled the filter out and the back of it was covered in black and green fuzzy spots. It’s been so humid lately that I’m worried the mold is growing inside the unit itself. Besides changing the filter, what’s the most effective way to have the entire AC system professionally cleaned to prevent this from happening again?

Seeing that fuzzy growth on your AC filter is a major red flag, especially with a child suffering from asthma. The humidity here in Dubai absolutely accelerates mold growth inside AC units, not just on the filter. A simple filter change won't solve it if the evaporator coils, drip pan, and ductwork are already contaminated.

For a professional clean, you need a company that specializes in mold remediation, not just a general AC service. The process should be comprehensive: First, a full inspection with a borescope camera to assess contamination inside the ducts and unit. Then, the system must be put under negative pressure with HEPA filtration to prevent spores from spreading during cleaning. The interior components are then agitated and thoroughly vacuumed with industrial HEPA vacuums, followed by an EPA-approved antimicrobial application to the coils and drip pan to inhibit future growth. Finally, the entire duct system should be brushed and HEPA-vacuumed.

This isn't a DIY job; improper cleaning can aerosolize the mold and make the problem much worse for your son. Given the asthma connection, a professional inspection is critical to identify all contamination sources. We follow strict guidelines from the Dubai Municipality for indoor air quality and remediation.

For a proper assessment and cleaning protocol, I strongly recommend calling our certified team. We can provide a detailed plan to make your home safe again.

Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 to schedule an inspection, or email hello@saniservice.com for immediate advice. Your son's health isn't worth the risk.
