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 indoor air quality issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness in my bedroom closet. Despite turning on the dehumidifier, the smell persists, and now my kids have been complaining of coughing fits especially at night. Could this be due to indoor air quality issues, or am I just being overly paranoid? Do I need to hire an expert to check it out or can I handle this myself?

It sounds like you might be experiencing some indoor air quality issues caused by dampness. The persistent smell and the coughing fits your kids have been having could indeed be related to the moisture in your bedroom closet, especially after the rain last month.

In Dubai, high humidity can lead to mold growth, which is a common culprit for respiratory issues like coughing. The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor air quality (IAQ) and building maintenance, such as the UAE Building Code (UBC), which requires buildings to be designed with proper ventilation systems to prevent moisture accumulation.

Given that you've tried using a dehumidifier but the issue persists, it's best to take this situation seriously. Mold can produce allergens, irritants, and in some cases, even toxic substances called mycotoxins. These can trigger or worsen asthma, allergies, and other respiratory problems.

I recommend that you call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection with a professional. They will be able to assess the extent of any mold growth, provide recommendations for remediation, and ensure that your indoor air quality meets UAE standards.

In the meantime, you can take some immediate steps:

1. Increase ventilation in the affected area by opening windows (if weather permits) or using exhaust fans.
2. Ensure proper drainage around your home to prevent water from entering.
3. Check if there are any leaks or condensation issues in pipes, walls, or ceilings.

Remember, maintaining a healthy indoor environment is crucial for you and your family's well-being, especially in the UAE where humidity can be quite high at times. A professional inspection will give you peace of mind and ensure that any potential health risks are addressed promptly.

Take care, and I hope this helps!
