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 damp smell linked to kids' coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain we had last month, I noticed a strange damp smell lingering in the bedroom closet. It’s been there ever since, even after we dried everything out. The kids have been complaining of coughing fits too, especially at night. Could this be an indoor air quality issue? What should I do to check it out?

The damp smell and kids' coughing could definitely be linked to indoor air quality issues. In the UAE, especially during our humid summer months and following heavy rains like those we experienced last month, such symptoms can arise from moisture-related problems. High humidity levels in your home can lead to mold growth, which often emits musty odors.

In Dubai, it's not uncommon for houses to experience dampness after rainfall, particularly if there are any leaks or poor ventilation. The damp smell you're experiencing could indicate the presence of mold or mildew, especially if it persists even after drying out the area thoroughly.

The coughing fits your kids are having might be exacerbated by airborne particles from these moisture-related issues. Mold spores can irritate the respiratory system and trigger allergic reactions, particularly in children who may have weaker immune systems.

To address this issue effectively, I'd recommend contacting a professional environmental inspection company like Saniservice. They'll be able to conduct thorough tests for mold and other allergens and provide you with specific recommendations based on their findings. In the UAE, regulations related to indoor air quality are stringent; it's important to ensure that any remediation efforts comply with local standards.

In the meantime, there are a few steps you can take:
• Increase ventilation by opening windows when possible, or use exhaust fans.
• Use dehumidifiers in affected areas to reduce moisture levels.
• Clean surfaces and any visible mold growth with a mixture of water and detergent; wear gloves and ensure good ventilation during this process.
• Check for leaks and address them promptly.

Remember, addressing indoor air quality issues is crucial not just for comfort but also for the health of your family. If you're unsure about how to proceed or if the issue seems severe, don't hesitate to reach out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or via email at hello@saniservice.com.

Stay proactive and ensure a healthy indoor environment for your family!
