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 air quality issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rainstorm last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the basement of our new apartment. The walls seem slightly moist even after we’ve used dehumidifiers, and it feels particularly chilly down there. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits every time they go down to play. Could this be related to indoor air quality issues?

Dampness can indeed cause serious indoor air quality issues. In the UAE, especially in Dubai where we have seen some heavy rainfall recently, moisture-related problems are quite common. The situation you're describing sounds pretty typical and could be linked to poor ventilation or drainage systems that aren't handling water efficiently.

The dampness you’re noticing in your basement might lead to mold growth which can affect air quality greatly. Mold spores can circulate through the air and cause respiratory issues, especially for kids who are more sensitive to allergens. The coughing fits your children have been experiencing could very well be linked to this dampness.

In the UAE, according to local standards like EN 13788-2014, it’s important to keep relative humidity under control as high moisture levels can lead to microbial growth and dust mite proliferation. In Dubai, during such weather conditions, maintaining a relative humidity of around 50% is advisable.

Since the dehumidifiers you've been using haven't fully resolved the issue, I'd recommend getting in touch with professional environmental inspectors who can assess the situation properly. They might suggest solutions like improving ventilation, repairing any leaks or damp-proofing walls which could help reduce moisture levels and improve air quality.

If this sounds serious to you, don’t hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a free consultation. Early intervention can often prevent more significant issues down the road.
