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 mold and infections?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent heavy rains in our apartment, I noticed a musty smell that seems to linger even after cleaning. The kids have been complaining of persistent coughs and runny noses since we got back from our weekend trip to the mountains. Could this be due to some kind of mold or bacteria growing because of the dampness? What should I do to clean and prevent an infection in the home?

Absolutely, dampness can indeed foster the growth of mold and bacteria which may contribute to infections. In the UAE, especially during rainy seasons like you've experienced recently, it's crucial to maintain indoor environments as hygienic and dry as possible.

In Dubai, our climate means that humidity levels can rise significantly after heavy rains, creating ideal conditions for moisture-loving microorganisms such as mold and bacteria. Mold spores are invisible to the naked eye but can cause respiratory issues, coughs, runny noses, and other symptoms your kids might be experiencing. The musty smell you're noticing is a tell-tale sign of potential mold growth.

For immediate action, start by thoroughly drying out any damp areas. Use fans or dehumidifiers to circulate air and reduce moisture levels. Clean surfaces with bleach solutions or specialized mold cleaners to ensure they are free from contaminants. However, if the issue persists despite these measures, it's highly recommended you call in a professional for an inspection.

In the UAE, regulations stipulate that properties should be maintained at a relative humidity level of around 40-60%, and if this is not met, corrective actions must be taken to prevent health issues. Therefore, getting a professional assessment can help identify any underlying problems beyond just visible dampness or mold.

Saniservice, an expert in this field based out here, offers comprehensive indoor environmental inspections and remediation services. Their team can provide detailed analysis and tailored solutions to ensure your home is safe from harmful microorganisms. You could give them a call at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance.

Regular maintenance, like checking for leaks, ensuring proper ventilation, and keeping humidity levels in check can prevent such issues from recurring. Remember, your health is paramount, so taking proactive steps now could save you a lot of trouble down the line.
