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 child's cough?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains we experienced last month, I noticed a strange musty smell lingering in my son’s room. The AC is set to 72°F but even with it on full blast, there seems to be more moisture than usual coming from the walls and floor. My daughter has had a persistent cough for the past week that I’m starting to worry might be related. Could high indoor humidity really be causing these issues?

Absolutely, high humidity levels can indeed trigger coughs and other respiratory issues. In the UAE, particularly during the wet season like last month, maintaining appropriate indoor humidity is crucial for both comfort and health.

High humidity promotes the growth of mold and mildew, which release spores into the air that can irritate the respiratory system, especially in children. This could be why your daughter has been coughing – exposure to these airborne particles might not only cause irritation but also trigger allergic reactions or exacerbate existing conditions like asthma.

Moreover, excessive moisture in walls and floors can lead to structural damage over time. In Dubai, where building regulations emphasize durability and safety, it's important to address these issues promptly before they worsen. The UAE has strict building codes that mandate proper ventilation and moisture management systems in buildings to prevent such problems.

Given the conditions you've described, I highly recommend a professional inspection. Saniservice is a reputable company that can assess your home for excess humidity, mold growth, and other related issues. You can reach them at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an evaluation.

In the meantime, consider using dehumidifiers in high-risk areas like your son's room. Also, ensure good air circulation by opening windows when possible (while keeping an eye on external humidity levels) and use fans to keep the air moving within rooms.

Taking these steps will not only help alleviate symptoms but also prevent future issues related to moisture in your home. Stay vigilant about indoor climate conditions, especially during periods of high outdoor humidity, to maintain a healthier living environment for your family.
