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 dampness cause my kids' coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the corner of our living room. It’s been weeks now, and there's still some discoloration on the walls, along with a musty smell that won’t go away no matter how many times we clean it. The kids have started coughing more frequently, and I’m worried about what might be causing it. Could this dampness be related to their symptoms?

Could dampness cause my kids' coughing?

Absolutely! Dampness in your home can indeed contribute to respiratory issues and coughing among children. In the UAE, especially during the rainy season or even after heavy showers, moisture can seep into building structures leading to mold growth. This is a serious concern as molds produce spores that are tiny enough to be breathed in. These spores can irritate the lungs, trigger allergic reactions, and exacerbate asthma symptoms - all of which can lead to coughing.

In Dubai, we often see cases where dampness from prolonged rain or even condensation issues result in mold growth. If you've noticed persistent dampness in your living room corner, it's quite likely that some form of mold is developing there. The discoloration on the walls and musty smell are clear signs of this.

The effects can be particularly concerning for kids as their immune systems and airways are still developing. Coughing isn't just annoying - it could indicate more serious health issues linked to indoor dampness. It's important to address this promptly.

First, I recommend you take a close look at the affected area. Clean any visible mold with a mixture of water and detergent, making sure to thoroughly dry the area afterward. However, if the issue persists or seems extensive, it would be wise to call in professionals for an inspection. The UAE has strict building codes that address indoor environmental quality, so ensuring your home is up to these standards can help protect you from health risks.

You could contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. We use state-of-the-art tools and techniques to assess the level of dampness, detect hidden mold growth, and advise on remediation strategies that comply with local regulations.

In the meantime, make sure to increase air circulation in the affected area by opening windows when possible or using fans. Avoid using dehumidifiers without proper maintenance as they can sometimes spread spores. Keeping your home well-ventilated and dry is key to preventing further issues.

Remember, it’s not just about immediate health effects but also long-term consequences on your family's wellbeing. Addressing the issue now could save you from bigger problems later.
