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 our health issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the corner of our living room near the window. My children have been complaining of itchy throats and congestion, especially during the evening when we tend to keep the windows open slightly for some fresh air. Could this be due to higher humidity levels? What steps should we take to address this issue and ensure our family’s health isn’t affected?

Yes, dampness can indeed be causing your health issues. High humidity levels and persistent dampness are known to lead to an increase in airborne mold spores which could irritate the respiratory system and exacerbate symptoms like itchy throat and congestion.

In Dubai and the UAE, maintaining a balanced indoor environment is especially important due to our climate conditions. The recent rainfall might have introduced moisture into your living room's corner near the window, making it ideal for mold growth. Mold thrives in damp environments with high humidity levels above 60%.

To address this issue effectively, here are some steps you can take:

1. Assess and Monitor Humidity: Use a hygrometer to check indoor humidity levels regularly. Ideal ranges should be between 35% - 45%. Higher humidity might warrant further investigation.

2. Inspect for Mold Growth: Look closely in areas prone to moisture, like the corners near windows or where walls meet floors. If you notice any discoloration or mold growth, this is a clear sign of dampness and requires attention.

3. Ventilation Check: Ensure proper ventilation within your home. Open windows during dry periods for fresh air but close them when it's humid outside to prevent moisture from entering.

4. Dry Out the Area: Use dehumidifiers or air conditioners if necessary, especially in areas where dampness is noticeable. This helps reduce humidity levels and prevents mold growth.

5. Professional Inspection: If you suspect that the issue is more serious or persistent, it's advisable to call a professional for an inspection. We at Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) offer comprehensive indoor environmental assessments which can help identify and resolve dampness-related issues.

6. Regular Maintenance: Regularly check your home’s plumbing systems, roof, and windows to ensure they are in good condition and not allowing moisture ingress.

Taking these steps will help mitigate the risk of further health issues for you and your family. Remember, maintaining a healthy indoor environment is crucial in our climate. If you're concerned or need assistance, don’t hesitate to contact us for professional guidance.
