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 kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange musty odor coming from the corner of my bedroom closet. It's persistent even after airing out the space thoroughly. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits lately, and I’m starting to wonder if it might be related to the dampness in the air. Could this be causing their symptoms or is it just a coincidence?

Could dampness cause my kids' coughs? It's definitely possible. In the UAE and specifically in Dubai, where we experience humidity fluctuations, especially during rainy seasons, moisture can become a significant issue leading to various health concerns.

The musty smell you're experiencing could be due to mold growth, which thrives in moist environments like corners of closets. Mold produces spores that can irritate respiratory systems, particularly in children who might already have sensitive airways. This irritation from the spores can lead to coughing and other symptoms such as a runny nose or sneezing.

According to local regulations in Dubai, it's important to keep indoor spaces well-ventilated and dry to prevent mold growth. The UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) advises on maintaining good indoor air quality through proper humidity control. Keeping your closet properly aired out is a start, but persistent dampness or musty odors should be taken seriously.

Given the symptoms your kids are experiencing, I'd recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection and assessment. They can help determine if mold is present and advise on remediation strategies tailored to Dubai's climate conditions.

In the meantime, ensure good ventilation by opening windows when weather permits, use dehumidifiers in affected areas, and consider installing a whole-house dehumidifier system if you find that moisture is an ongoing issue. Regular cleaning of surfaces with anti-microbial products can also help prevent mold from taking hold.

Remember, addressing this early could save both your family’s health and the longevity of your home. Don't delay in seeking professional advice to keep your indoor environment healthy and safe.
