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 dampness and coughing linked to mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my bedroom closet, even though I can't see any water damage. The air feels heavy and stale, and my kids have been complaining of coughing fits especially at night. Could this be due to mold or poor ventilation? What steps should I take to improve the indoor air quality in my home?

Dampness and coughing can definitely be linked to mold. Mold thrives in damp environments and can produce spores that are harmful when breathed in, especially for kids who might have weaker immune systems or respiratory issues. In the UAE context, particularly in Dubai where we experience occasional heavy rains, it's not uncommon to see moisture-related issues.

In your case, the persistent dampness in the closet even without visible water damage could be a sign of mold growth. Mold spores are invisible and can spread through air currents making them hard to detect just by sight. The feeling of heavy, stale air and the coughing fits experienced by your kids at night, especially, point towards potential indoor air quality issues.

To properly address this situation, I would recommend getting a professional inspection done as per UAE standards and regulations. The UAE Building Code (UAE-BS 1368) requires buildings to be designed and constructed to minimize the risk of mold growth, but it's important to ensure that your home meets these requirements after any water-related issues.

For immediate steps you can take:
• Ensure good ventilation in the closet by opening windows or using a dehumidifier. In Dubai, high humidity levels are common, so a dehumidifier might be particularly useful.
• Check for leaks and address them promptly to prevent further moisture accumulation.
• Use an air purifier if available; HEPA filters can help remove mold spores from the air.
• Clean areas with visible mold growth using a solution of water and detergent. For more serious cases, professional cleaning may be necessary.

Remember, if you suspect mold or poor ventilation is causing issues in your home, it’s best to contact a professional for an inspection. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive indoor air quality assessments that comply with UAE regulations and can help identify and resolve any issues. You can reach us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information.

Taking these steps will not only improve the air quality in your home but also ensure a healthier living environment, especially for your kids.
