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 my daughter's cold?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in our guest bedroom closet, and it’s really starting to bother me. The cleaning staff comes every week, but lately, my daughter has been complaining of a cough and a runny nose, which she hasn’t had before. Could this be related to the musty smell and dampness we’re noticing?

Absolutely could be! In dubai and the uae, we've seen numerous cases where dampness from poor indoor air quality (iaq) can lead to respiratory issues like those your daughter's experiencing. The musty smell you're noticing might indicate a mold issue that's been left unchecked since last month’s rain.

In the uae, it's important to follow local regulations and guidelines for maintaining good iaq in residential areas, especially during our humid seasons. The emirates require regular checks on humidity levels, which your guest bedroom closet seems to be exceeding based on your observations.

First things first, you should definitely call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. They can assess the situation and recommend appropriate remediation steps. Keeping in mind the recent rain, it's crucial that any moisture-related issues are addressed promptly to prevent further damage and ensure everyone’s health.

In the meantime, here are some practical tips you can implement:

1. Increase Ventilation: Open windows or use exhaust fans to reduce humidity.
2. Use Dehumidifiers: They’re a great tool for managing dampness in small spaces like closets.
3. Maintain Cleanliness: Regular cleaning and dusting help prevent mold growth, so continue with the weekly cleanings but focus on areas prone to moisture.
4. Check For Leaks: Inspect walls, ceilings, and plumbing for any signs of water leaks which can contribute to dampness.

Remember, addressing these issues not only improves your daughter's health but also prevents potential long-term damage to the structure of your home. By taking action now, you're ensuring a healthier environment for everyone in the house.

Don't hesitate to reach out if you have more questions or need guidance on how to proceed!
