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.

Could high humidity cause my kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in my bedroom closet. It's not too bad on cooler days, but it gets quite intense during the humid spells. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits lately, which made me wonder if the humidity could be the culprit. Do you think I can manage this myself or should I consider professional help to control the indoor humidity?

Could high humidity cause my kids' coughs? Yes, it sure could. In the UAE and especially during Dubai's humid spells, elevated indoor humidity can indeed exacerbate respiratory issues, leading to uncomfortable symptoms like coughing. The moisture level inside your home acts as a perfect breeding ground for mold spores which often release volatile organic compounds that irritate airways.

The musty smell you're experiencing in your bedroom closet is a good indicator of potential mold growth. Mold thrives in damp environments and can produce allergens, irritants, and even toxins known as mycotoxins. These substances can trigger allergic reactions or exacerbate existing asthma conditions, leading to coughs, wheezing, and shortness of breath - all symptoms your kids are experiencing.

To address the situation, you might want to start by assessing your home's humidity levels. In Dubai, it is common for indoor humidity to spike during summer months and after heavy rains. A hygrometer can help you monitor these levels; in general, keeping them below 60% relative humidity (RH) is recommended.

Implementing some simple measures at home could also reduce moisture build-up:
• Use dehumidifiers or air conditioners to maintain a comfortable indoor environment.
• Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows when possible and using exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens.
• Fix any leaks promptly, as even minor water damage can lead to mold growth.

However, given the persistent issue you've noticed post-heavy rains and your kids' coughs, I strongly recommend seeking professional help. An expert inspection could pinpoint the exact source of moisture or hidden mold growth that might be affecting air quality in your home. Here at Saniservice, we offer comprehensive indoor environmental assessments and remediation services tailored for Dubai's climate.

If you're ready to tackle this issue head-on, please call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a free consultation. Early intervention can make a significant difference in maintaining good indoor air quality and your family’s health.

Remember, when it comes to indoor humidity issues, prevention is key. Keeping up with regular maintenance checks and addressing any moisture-related problems promptly will go a long way in ensuring your home remains healthy and comfortable.
