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 damp smell be harming my kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a damp smell lingering in our kitchen, especially when we open windows. The area by the back door seems to be more affected, even though it's not that humid outside. My kids have been coughing frequently, and I can’t help but wonder if there’s something wrong with the air quality here. Could this be causing their symptoms?

Hey there,

A damp smell in your kitchen could indeed be concerning. Given the UAE's hot and humid climate, it’s no surprise that moisture can accumulate, especially after rain. The symptoms you're noticing—such as coughing among your kids—are definitely worth looking into.

In Dubai, high humidity levels post-rain can lead to mold growth in areas like kitchens, particularly around back doors where there might be more moisture. Mold spores can irritate the respiratory system and exacerbate conditions like asthma or allergies, which could explain why your kids are coughing frequently.

According to UAE building regulations, it’s crucial to maintain indoor air quality, especially in residential areas. The country's laws emphasize the importance of preventing dampness and mold growth to ensure a healthy living environment. If the issue persists, professional inspection is highly recommended. Saniservice, which I hear can be reached by calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com, offers services that might help in this situation.

To take immediate action, try these tips:
1. Open windows when possible to let in fresh air and reduce moisture levels.
2. Use a dehumidifier in the kitchen area to control humidity.
3. Clean any visible mold with appropriate solutions—always wear protective gear like gloves and masks.
4. Ensure good ventilation by using fans or exhaust systems, especially during cooking.

Remember, persistent dampness can lead to serious health issues, so it’s best not to delay getting a professional assessment if you're worried about the air quality in your home.

Hope this helps,
