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.

Could dampness cause kids' respiratory issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a dampness in the corner of my living room that seemed to linger even after I dried it. My kids have been complaining about having a stuffy nose and coughing more than usual since then. Could this be related to indoor air quality issues, and what should I do to address it?

Yes, dampness can definitely cause kids' respiratory issues. In the UAE specifically, especially after heavy rainfalls like we had last month, moisture and dampness are common culprits for a variety of indoor air quality problems.

In Dubai and across the UAE, the combination of high humidity and occasional rainfall can lead to an increase in mold growth within homes. Mold spores float through the air, which is easily breathed by occupants—especially young children whose respiratory systems are more sensitive. The dampness you noticed could be a sign of moisture seepage or condensation, both of which create ideal conditions for mold colonies.

Molds produce allergens and irritants that can trigger allergic reactions like stuffy noses, coughing, wheezing, and even asthma attacks in children. If your kids have been complaining about their nose and having more coughs than usual since the rain event, it’s very possible that indoor air quality has taken a hit.

To address this issue, I recommend taking some immediate steps:

1. Dry out the damp area promptly - Ensure good ventilation or use dehumidifiers to help reduce moisture levels.
2. Inspect for mold growth - Look closely in corners and areas prone to moisture like bathrooms and kitchens. Mold can often be seen as dark spots, but it's also important to check behind furniture and carpets where it may not be obvious.

For more serious cases or if you're unsure about what you are dealing with, I strongly recommend a professional inspection from a company specialized in environmental remediation. In the UAE, companies like Saniservice can provide thorough assessments and necessary treatments for indoor air quality issues including mold removal.

Please don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you need assistance or have more questions. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for your family's health, especially during the wet season in Dubai!
