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 high humidity cause my kids' coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in our bedroom, especially around the corners near the window. The AC seems to struggle to keep it dry, even on high settings. My kids have been coughing more frequently lately, and I suspect the humidity might be contributing to their discomfort. Could this be causing respiratory issues for them?

High humidity levels can indeed contribute to respiratory issues and may be the culprit behind your kids' coughing. In the UAE, especially during the monsoon seasons which have been more frequent due to climate change, maintaining indoor air quality is crucial.

In Dubai, our area experiences occasional heavy rains followed by high humidity levels. This creates an ideal environment for mold growth, which can release spores that irritate the respiratory system and trigger coughing and other allergic reactions in children. The UAE doesn't have specific laws regarding humidity levels but guidelines recommend keeping indoor spaces at around 40-60% relative humidity to minimize health risks.

The dampness you're noticing near your bedroom window could be due to condensation or a more serious mold issue. AC units often struggle with high humidity and might not effectively dehumidify the air, especially in poorly ventilated areas like corners by windows. Regularly checking for signs of moisture damage is important as this can lead to mold growth.

Given these concerns, it's highly recommended that you have your home inspected by a professional service. They can assess whether there are any hidden water sources or mold issues contributing to the high humidity and discomfort in your bedroom. Should you decide to go ahead with an inspection, feel free to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance.

In the meantime, consider using dehumidifiers in high-risk areas like bedrooms and bathrooms. Proper ventilation can also help reduce indoor humidity levels. Ensure that windows are sealed properly to prevent drafts during rainy periods and keep an eye on your AC filter, cleaning it regularly may improve its performance against moisture.

Taking these steps could greatly improve the air quality and comfort for you and your family in Dubai's climate.
