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.

Can high humidity cause mold and health issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in our bedroom closet. The humidity feels really high even with the dehumidifier running non-stop. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits especially at night, which makes me worry about mold or mildew growing behind the walls. Is there anything else we can do to lower the indoor humidity and keep everyone healthier?

Absolutely, high humidity can indeed lead to mold and health issues. In the UAE, especially during the rainy season like last month, we've seen a rise in both humidity levels and associated problems. Mold thrives in damp environments – temperatures between 25°C and 30°C combined with relative humidity above 70% provide an ideal breeding ground.

In your situation, it sounds like you're dealing with quite a bit of moisture. A musty smell is often the first sign that mold or mildew might be present. The coughing fits experienced by your kids at night are concerning and could be linked to indoor air quality issues, including allergens from mold spores.

To tackle this issue, start by ensuring proper ventilation in your home. Open windows if possible, particularly after a heavy rain, to allow fresh air to circulate. Using exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens can also help reduce moisture levels. However, relying solely on dehumidifiers might not be enough, especially if the humidity is consistently high.

Consider investing in a hygrometer to monitor your home's relative humidity. This will give you a clearer picture of what's going on inside your walls and allow for better management. If readings are regularly above 70%, it may be time to seek professional help. In Dubai, we often see mold growth behind walls or under carpets due to excessive moisture.

For more serious cases, a professional inspection by an environmental service provider is highly recommended. They can assess the extent of any potential damage and offer solutions like dehumidification systems, air filtration, or even waterproofing treatments for your home's structure.

Don’t delay in addressing this issue; it’s important to safeguard the health of you and your family. If you need assistance, feel free to contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. We’re here to help ensure a healthier indoor environment for everyone.

Remember, in this part of the world where humidity can sometimes be challenging, being proactive about your home’s moisture levels is key to maintaining good air quality and preventing health issues.
