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.

How urgent is addressing dampness in nursery?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my nursery which is located right next to the laundry room. The area has started to feel increasingly musty over the past few days despite regular ventilation. Given that my kids have been coughing more frequently lately, how urgent is it for me to address this issue and what steps should I take immediately?

Addressing the dampness in your nursery is of utmost urgency, especially given its proximity to the laundry room and the recent rain. Persistent moisture can lead to a range of issues including mold growth, which might exacerbate respiratory problems for your children.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it's crucial to adhere to local building codes that address dampness and indoor air quality. The Dubai Municipality has stringent regulations concerning the construction and maintenance of buildings to ensure they are safe and healthy environments for inhabitants. Given the location of your nursery near a laundry area, which is prone to moisture, it’s essential to act quickly.

The musty smell you’re experiencing could be due to mold spores thriving in damp conditions. Mold not only produces unpleasant odors but can also trigger allergies or worsen existing respiratory issues like coughing and asthma—especially for children. In your situation, with the kids' frequent coughing, it's imperative to take action.

Firstly, ensure you’re using proper ventilation. Open windows when weather permits, and use dehumidifiers in the nursery if possible. However, these are temporary measures at best. A professional inspection by a company like Saniservice is highly recommended given the severity of the situation. They can conduct moisture mapping to identify areas with high humidity levels and provide a thorough assessment of potential mold growth.

If you decide against a professional and want to handle it yourself, clean any visible mold thoroughly using a solution of water and detergent or a commercial cleaner designed for mold removal. Be sure to wear protective gear including gloves and masks during this process. After cleaning, ensure the area is properly dried out with fans if needed.

Remember, dampness can lead to significant structural damage over time as well. Hence, addressing the source of moisture is essential. Whether you choose a DIY approach or go for professional help, it’s vital that you act swiftly to prevent any long-term health impacts on your children and ensure a safe living environment.

Should you need assistance, don’t hesitate to contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. They can offer expert guidance tailored specifically for the Dubai climate and building conditions.
