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

Based on your symptoms, that's a major red flag for mold contamination in your AC system. The damp smell and your sudden asthmatic reactions at night are classic signs. In Dubai's humid climate, AC units are prime breeding grounds for mold if not maintained properly.

The absolute first step is to get a professional mold inspection. Do NOT attempt to clean it yourself, as this can aerosolize millions of spores and severely worsen your asthma and contaminate your entire apartment. A certified inspector will use tools like borescopes to look inside the ductwork and take air and swab samples for lab analysis to identify the exact mold species and spore count. This is crucial for determining the correct remediation protocol.

For cleaning, it's not just about spraying a chemical. A proper hygienization process for AC systems involves several steps: isolating the unit, using HEPA vacuuming to remove all loose debris, then applying an approved, non-toxic biocidal foam to kill the mold colonies residing on the evaporator coils and inside the ducts, followed by a protective coating to inhibit future growth.

Given your health is already being affected, this is urgent. We follow strict Dubai Municipality guidelines for this kind of work. I strongly recommend you call a professional to get that inspected immediately before your symptoms progress.
