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 linked to kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the kitchen area of our apartment, even though we keep the windows closed most of the time. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits lately, especially after playing video games on the couch where the air seems particularly stuffy. Could this be related to the indoor air quality?

Yes, dampness can indeed be linked to your kids' coughs. In the UAE, especially in areas like Dubai where we experience sudden changes in weather and humidity levels post rain, it's quite common to encounter issues such as dampness and mold growth. These conditions can significantly impact indoor air quality, leading to respiratory discomfort or exacerbating existing allergies and asthma.

In your case, with a noticeable dampness in the kitchen area despite keeping windows closed most of the time, it’s important to consider that moisture can seep into walls and other hidden areas even if you don't see obvious signs. This kind of hidden moisture is prime for mold growth, which can release spores that are known irritants and allergens.

The coughing fits your kids have been experiencing, especially after playing video games on the couch where it feels particularly stuffy, could be a direct result of inhaling these mold spores or other pollutants in the air. The enclosed space with poor ventilation might concentrate these irritants, making them more likely to cause symptoms.

It's crucial to address this issue promptly for several reasons:
1. Health Concerns: Mold and dampness can lead to respiratory issues such as coughing, wheezing, and exacerbation of asthma.
2. Comfort and Well-being: Damp environments can affect the overall comfort in your home, impacting your family’s well-being.

I would recommend scheduling a professional inspection with a company like Saniservice who can assess the indoor air quality and check for any mold or moisture issues. They can also provide recommendations on how to improve ventilation and prevent future problems.

In the meantime, try to ensure that the kitchen area is adequately ventilated by opening windows when possible (taking care of safety), use dehumidifiers if you have one, and clean up any visible water stains as soon as they are noticed. If you're unable to address these issues yourself or see no improvement in your children's symptoms, it's essential to call Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a professional assessment.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is not just about comfort—it’s crucial for the health of your family.
