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 coastal dampness causing family symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy storms we had a few weeks ago, I’ve noticed a persistent damp smell in my living room near the window that faces the coast. The symptoms started last week; my son has been complaining of itchy eyes and a runny nose whenever he’s there, and even my wife mentioned she’s feeling more tired than usual. Could this be related to coastal cleaning activities or something else?

The smell and the symptoms your family is experiencing could indeed be related to coastal dampness. In the UAE, particularly around Dubai where you reside near a coast, it's common for strong maritime influences like sea spray and humidity to impact indoor air quality. After recent storms, there can be increased levels of moisture seeping into buildings due to rain or flooding, which might cause mold growth, especially if there are leaks in your home.

It is not uncommon for coastal cleaning activities such as dredging or beach clean-ups to release particulates and water vapor that may contribute to the damp smell. These activities can also stir up dust and other particles that could be causing your son's itchy eyes and runny nose, and potentially making your wife feel more fatigued.

Given these factors, it would be prudent to have a professional inspection conducted by experts in indoor environmental quality and building sciences. In the UAE, regulations such as those outlined in the Building Code of the UAE (Federal Decree-Law No. 44 of 1985) require that buildings are designed and constructed with proper moisture management systems to prevent dampness and mold growth.

If you decide to seek professional help, consider contacting a company like Saniservice who can provide thorough inspections and remediation services if needed. They can assess the condition of your home, identify sources of moisture, and recommend appropriate measures to improve indoor air quality. Their expertise in handling cases similar to yours could be invaluable.

Remember, it's essential to address these issues promptly to protect both your family’s health and the integrity of your property. So, don’t delay; take action today by calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a consultation.
