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 lead to poor indoor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a dampness around the window sill in my living room, and ever since then, my throat has been really dry and itchy. My kids have also been complaining of coughing fits, especially at night when we turn on the AC. Could this be due to poor indoor air quality? What should I do to improve the situation?

The dampness around your window sill could indeed lead to poor indoor air quality. In the UAE, especially during the rainy season, such moisture can foster the growth of mold and mildew which are major contributors to deteriorating IAQ (indoor air quality). Mold spores and other microscopic organisms released into the air from these colonies can trigger respiratory issues like coughing fits and sore throat, particularly for those with sensitive immune systems or pre-existing conditions.

For instance, in Dubai, the high humidity levels post-rain might exacerbate moisture problems. The UAE has specific regulations concerning indoor environmental quality, such as the Abu Dhabi Municipality’s requirements that buildings maintain certain standards of hygiene to protect public health. Not adhering to these guidelines could lead to serious health issues among residents.

To address your concerns, it's essential to act quickly and professionally. You should consider calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a thorough inspection and remediation services. These experts can assess the extent of moisture damage and take necessary steps to eliminate mold growth, ensuring better air quality in your home.

In the meantime, here are some practical tips you can implement:
• Increase ventilation by opening windows when weather permits
• Use dehumidifiers or air conditioners to maintain a relative humidity level below 60%
• Clean and dry damp areas promptly
• Ensure proper drainage around your building’s foundation

Regular maintenance of your HVAC system is also crucial. It's recommended that you have it serviced annually by professionals who can check for any moisture-related issues in the ductwork.

Remember, addressing these problems early can prevent further health complications for you and your family.
