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 kitchen dampness normal without ventilation?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the kitchen that seemed particularly strong near the dining table. This area is where we all tend to sit and eat after coming home from work or school. The smell isn't too bad but it’s there consistently, even when no one has prepared food recently. Is it normal for such an area to retain moisture for so long without proper ventilation?

The presence of persistent dampness in the kitchen area near your dining table can be concerning. In the UAE and Dubai specifically, humidity levels can be quite high due to the climate which makes it important for kitchens to have proper ventilation systems installed to prevent moisture accumulation.

According to the Building Code Regulation (BCR) 17-2015 of the UAE, buildings must comply with specific standards for indoor air quality. This includes ensuring that areas like kitchens are well-ventilated to avoid dampness and mold growth. Ventilation not only helps in reducing humidity but also in removing cooking odors.

In your case, it is unusual for a kitchen area to retain moisture without proper ventilation. The smell of dampness could be indicative of issues such as inadequate exhaust fans or blocked air vents. If the problem persists despite regular cleaning and maintaining good hygiene practices, it may be wise to get a professional inspection done. Saniservice, located in Dubai, offers comprehensive mold inspections and can help identify any underlying problems.

If you suspect mold growth due to excessive moisture, it's important not to ignore the issue as molds can produce allergens and irritants which might affect your health. Furthermore, some molds release harmful spores that could cause respiratory issues especially for children, elderly or those with pre-existing conditions.

Given the climate in Dubai, it is quite common to experience high humidity levels even during cooler months. Therefore, maintaining good ventilation practices such as using exhaust fans when cooking and ensuring there are no obstructions around them can significantly help manage moisture levels.

In summary, persistent dampness in your kitchen area is not normal without adequate ventilation. It’s recommended you contact Saniservice for a professional inspection to ensure the air quality in your home meets the required standards set by the BCR 17-2015 and to prevent any potential health risks associated with mold growth.
