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 AC causing dampness trigger kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running more often than usual lately, especially at night. I can see the condensation forming on the windows, which is unusual for this time of year. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits, and their chests sound a bit congested when they’re lying down. Could the constant dampness from the AC or humidity be causing these symptoms?

The AC running more often and the unusual condensation forming on your windows could indeed be contributing to the dampness in your apartment. In Dubai and the UAE, humidity levels can vary throughout the year but typically increase during summer months or in case of rain. It's not uncommon for central air conditioning systems to produce condensation as they cool down the air, but persistent high humidity inside your home can lead to mold growth which might be causing your kids' coughs.

In Dubai, especially with its humid climate, maintaining a healthy indoor environment is crucial. The UAE has regulations and guidelines that recommend keeping indoor relative humidity levels between 30% and 50%. Running the AC too frequently or not properly maintained could lead to excessive condensation and potential mold growth, which can irritate respiratory systems, particularly in children.

Given your concerns, it might be wise to have a professional inspection done. At Saniservice, we specialize in environmental inspections and remediation services across Dubai and the UAE. We offer detailed assessments of indoor air quality and can help identify any moisture-related issues that could be affecting your home’s environment. Our team is equipped with the latest tools and techniques to ensure a thorough evaluation.

If you decide to take action, please give us a call at 800-MOLDS or send an email to hello@saniservice.com. We can provide a no-obligation consultation and discuss potential solutions that might include adjusting your AC settings, improving ventilation, or treating any mold growth that we may find.

In the meantime, try to keep windows closed during wet weather and ensure good airflow in your home by opening windows when safe. Also, make sure you clean and dry out any areas of high moisture quickly to prevent further issues.
