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 high humidity cause health issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in my bedroom, even with the windows open. The humidity has been quite high since then, especially during the evenings when it’s around 70%. My kids have been coughing more frequently and complain of feeling unwell. Could this be due to the increased indoor humidity?

Absolutely high humidity can lead to health issues. In the UAE and Dubai specifically, it's common for humidity levels to rise significantly, especially after rains as you experienced. The musty smell you mentioned is often a sign of mold growth, which thrives in wet or humid environments.

In your case with 70% relative humidity particularly during evenings, it's not uncommon to notice an increase in moisture content, especially if there’s been recent rainfall. This can indeed be linked to the coughing and other symptoms your kids are experiencing. Mold spores, dust mites, and bacteria thrive under these conditions, which could contribute to respiratory issues and allergic reactions.

To address this, I would recommend checking for signs of mold growth around areas like windows, near bathrooms, or where water might have pooled. If you see any discoloration or smell a musty odor, it’s wise to call in professionals for an inspection. Here at Saniservice, we can help identify the source and extent of moisture issues and provide remediation solutions.

Remember, maintaining proper indoor humidity is crucial. In Dubai, where air conditioning often keeps temperatures cool but humidity high, using dehumidifiers or ensuring good ventilation can be very beneficial. Aim for an ideal range between 30-60% RH to minimize health risks.

If you suspect mold growth or just want peace of mind, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional assessment. We're here to help keep your family healthy and your home safe.

Taking these steps can significantly improve the indoor air quality, making it more comfortable for you and your kids, especially during the high humidity months in Dubai.
