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 around windowsills a mold issue?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness forming around the windowsills in my apartment's living room. The smell is mild but persistent, like mold, even though there’s no visible water damage. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits and runny noses since it started. Could this be related to some kind of contaminant?

Dampness around windowsills can indeed be a sign of mold growth, especially after rain. Mold thrives in warm and humid conditions making it a common issue in the UAE, particularly during cooler months when windows are often closed to keep heat in. The smell you're describing is characteristic of mold and given that your kids have been experiencing symptoms like coughing fits and runny noses, it’s crucial not to ignore this.

In the UAE context, regulations require buildings to maintain a certain level of indoor environmental quality (IEQ). However, local conditions can often push these limits, especially after heavy rains. Mold exposure is linked with respiratory issues in children and adults alike, so addressing this issue promptly is important for your family's health.

First steps should involve checking the windowsills and surrounding areas for any visible mold growth or water damage that may not be immediately obvious. If you find anything unusual or if symptoms persist, it’s advisable to call in a professional inspection team. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can provide detailed inspections and remediation services tailored to local conditions.

Remember, mold can spread quickly under the right conditions, so addressing the issue early is key. Saniservice offers 24/7 emergency response for such cases and their number is 800-MOLDS or you can email them at hello@saniservice.com for a consultation.

Taking proactive steps like ensuring good ventilation, using dehumidifiers, and addressing any leaks immediately will help prevent future mold growth. Regular maintenance checks are also recommended to keep your home's IEQ in top shape.

So don’t delay, act now to ensure the health of your family and the comfort of your home.
