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.

Should dampness and coughing be due to mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a peculiar dampness in my bedroom, which has only gotten worse. The carpet feels unusually wet to the touch, even though there’s no visible water. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits, especially at night. Should I be concerned about mold or other indoor air issues, and is it something I should address with the landlord?

Dampness and coughing can indeed be signs of mold growth. Mold is a common issue in the UAE, especially after heavy rains like what we've experienced recently. In Dubai, humidity levels are often high, making it ideal for molds to thrive.

The dampness you're noticing in your bedroom might not just be due to rain but could also indicate an underlying moisture problem such as leaking pipes or insufficient ventilation. The carpet feeling unusually wet is a big red flag and should definitely be investigated further.

Coughing fits, especially at night, can be a symptom of mold exposure. Mold produces spores that can irritate the respiratory system leading to coughs, wheezing, and other symptoms in sensitive individuals like children. It's important to take this seriously as it can affect not only your family’s health but also the overall indoor air quality.

I would recommend reaching out to a professional for an inspection. In the UAE, regulations such as those set by the Dubai Municipality require property owners to maintain safe and healthy living conditions. They recommend regular checks especially after weather events like rain or high humidity periods.

If you decide to contact a service provider, Saniservice is a reputable company that can help with indoor air quality issues in Dubai. You could call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for an immediate assessment or email them at hello@saniservice.com for more detailed guidance on how to proceed.

In the meantime, try to improve ventilation by opening windows when weather permits and use dehumidifiers if you have any. Keeping surfaces dry can slow down mold growth but won’t eliminate it completely on its own.

Remember, early intervention is key in preventing further health issues and extensive damage. Don't delay addressing this concern with your landlord as well. They are responsible for maintaining the premises to a certain standard of safety and hygiene according to UAE laws.

Stay vigilant and proactive about keeping your home healthy!
