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.

Is dampness causing my kids' coughing?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new home a year ago, the bedroom where my children sleep has always had this faint dustiness that I can't shake off. After the recent heat wave when windows were open for a few days to cool down the house, the smell of mildew became more noticeable and even stronger each time they come back from school and play outside. It's concerning because my kids have been complaining about coughing fits at night, which makes me wonder if it’s related to this dampness in their room. Could there be an issue with our air conditioning system or is there something else I should check?

Absolutely, dampness could definitely be causing your kids' coughing. The issue of moisture and mildew is quite prevalent in the UAE, especially during our humid seasons or after heat waves. Given that you've noticed a persistent dustiness and an increasingly strong smell of mildew, it's important to address this concern promptly.

In Dubai and the UAE, we often experience high humidity levels, which can lead to condensation issues, particularly around windows, bathrooms, and air conditioning units. These areas become prime spots for mould growth, especially if there’s a lack of proper ventilation or dryness. Mould spores can easily spread through your home’s HVAC system, causing respiratory issues in family members, especially children.

The UAE Building Code (UAE-BC) emphasizes the importance of indoor air quality and moisture management, particularly to prevent health issues like those experienced by your kids. The code recommends regular maintenance checks for AC systems and ensuring that all areas are well-ventilated and dry.

Given the severity of the situation with your children’s coughing fits, it would be wise to consult a professional for an inspection. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive environmental inspections tailored to the local climate conditions. Our team can assess your home's AC system, identify any moisture sources, and recommend appropriate solutions to prevent further issues.

If you decide to proceed with an inspection, please contact us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a detailed consultation. Remember, addressing this issue early could not only improve the air quality but also save on potential long-term health costs.

Do consider that sometimes a simple fix like improving airflow and ensuring proper AC maintenance can resolve such issues. But in your case, given the persistent nature of the problem, professional advice is highly recommended to ensure your family's well-being.
