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 high humidity really affecting my kids' health?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rainfall last month, I noticed a dampness smell lingering in my bedroom closet. The humidity seems really high, even with the dehumidifier running constantly. My kids have been coughing more frequently lately, and I’m worried it might be due to the indoor air quality. How urgent is this issue, and what steps should I take immediately?

High humidity can indeed affect your kids' health. In the UAE, especially during rainy seasons like last month, high indoor humidity can create conditions that are perfect for mold growth and dust mite proliferation. These can lead to respiratory issues among children who might already be sensitive or prone to allergies.

In Dubai, as in other parts of the UAE, we often experience sudden changes in weather which can cause indoor moisture levels to rise dramatically. This is particularly concerning when you notice a damp smell in your bedroom closet and see that even with a dehumidifier running constantly, the humidity remains high.

The high humidity might be causing your kids' coughing more frequently. Exposure to mold spores or dust mites can trigger allergic reactions such as sneezing, runny nose, and indeed, coughing. In severe cases, it could lead to asthma attacks.

Given these concerns, I would recommend taking immediate action:

1. Increase Ventilation: Open windows when the weather permits to allow fresh air in and help reduce humidity levels.
2. Dehumidify: While you've already got a dehumidifier running, consider placing one near your children's sleeping areas if possible or adding another unit to increase efficiency.
3. Drying Out Affected Areas: Ensure that any damp spots are dried thoroughly as soon as they’re noticed. If there’s water pooling in corners of the closet, clean it up immediately and dry out the area completely.
4. Professional Inspection: Given your situation, I’d advise contacting a professional for an inspection to ensure no hidden mold growth is present or to identify other sources of moisture that you might not be aware of.

If your situation seems urgent or if symptoms worsen, don’t hesitate to seek medical advice from healthcare professionals who can provide guidance specific to your family’s health needs. For assistance with indoor air quality in the UAE, you can reach out to us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional assessment and remediation services.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for everyone’s health, especially young children. By taking these steps now, you can help create a healthier environment in your home.
