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 near my window harmful?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness near the window in my bedroom. The walls seem to be retaining moisture despite using a dehumidifier. My kids have been coughing more frequently lately, and I'm worried it might be due to mold or other contaminants. How urgent is this issue, and what steps should I take immediately?

Dampness near your window can indeed be concerning and potentially harmful. In the UAE, especially during our seasonal weather changes, moisture can accumulate around windows causing dampness which might indicate a larger issue like condensation or water infiltration. This dampness can lead to the growth of mold, mildew, and other microorganisms that are not only unsightly but also pose health risks to you and your family.

In Dubai, we have specific regulations regarding indoor air quality and building maintenance (though I'll focus on more practical steps here). The persistent dampness around your window could be due to inadequate ventilation or a structural issue. Given the increase in coughing among your kids, it would be prudent to take action promptly. Mold spores and other particles released from damp conditions can irritate respiratory systems and exacerbate allergies.

Firstly, ensure you're using the dehumidifier correctly and consistently. However, if the moisture persists despite this, immediate inspection is necessary. Professional mold inspectors are available in Dubai who can assess your home for any mold growth or potential sources of moisture. You might want to consider contacting a company like SaniService by calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a thorough inspection.

In the meantime, keep an eye on the affected area and maintain good air circulation in your bedroom. Open windows when weather permits to allow fresh air flow. Also, clean any visible mold with a solution of water and mild detergent, ensuring you wear protective clothing and goggles.

Remember, long-term exposure to dampness can lead to structural damage as well as health issues, so don't delay seeking professional advice if the problem continues or worsens.
