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 rains we had last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the corners of our living room. The AC seemed to struggle more than usual, and my kids have been coughing quite a bit lately. Could high indoor humidity be causing their respiratory issues?

Absolutely! High humidity can indeed cause respiratory issues like coughing. In the UAE, especially during our relatively cooler months and after heavy rains, high indoor humidity can be a significant factor.

When the air is too damp, it creates an ideal environment for mold growth which can trigger allergic reactions and asthma symptoms in children. The AC struggling to keep up might mean your home isn't dehumidifying properly, allowing moisture levels to rise.

In Dubai, where we experience such climatic conditions, it’s vital to maintain indoor humidity at around 40-60%. Anything higher could lead to uncomfortable conditions and health issues.

If you're noticing persistent dampness in the corners of your living room, this is a strong sign that your home's humidity levels might be too high. You should consider having a professional inspection done to determine the exact cause and level of moisture in your home. If the situation calls for it, contact 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com.

In addition to addressing potential mold issues, you can take some immediate steps to reduce indoor humidity:
• Use dehumidifiers in areas where moisture is a concern
• Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows when possible and using exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens
• Clean your air conditioning units regularly to prevent them from overworking

Remember, keeping an eye on your home's humidity levels can significantly impact the health of you and your family. If your kids continue coughing or show other signs of respiratory distress, don't hesitate to consult a healthcare provider as well.

Stay healthy!
