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 my kids' coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a dampness creeping into the corners of my bedroom. The walls seem a bit musty, especially after showers, and there’s been an odd smell that won’t go away. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits in the evenings, which makes me wonder if it could be from all this indoor air quality issues. Could high humidity levels really be causing their symptoms?

High humidity can indeed cause various health issues and it sounds like your concerns may be well-founded. In Dubai, the climate is generally hot and humid during certain months, but a persistent issue like you're describing could indicate an underlying problem.

The mustiness and dampness in your bedroom walls suggest that moisture levels are higher than normal. This can lead to the growth of mold and other microorganisms which release allergens into the air. These particles can irritate the respiratory system, leading to coughing fits, especially during evening hours when indoor humidity tends to be at its peak.

According to UAE regulations, it's important for buildings to maintain an appropriate level of relative humidity, typically between 30-60%. Higher levels can create ideal conditions for mold growth and exacerbate respiratory issues. The presence of odd smells could also indicate the presence of mold or other microbial contaminants.

It is highly recommended that you contact a professional environmental inspection company like ours at Saniservice (call us on 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) to conduct a thorough assessment. Our experts can determine if high humidity levels are indeed the cause and provide remediation solutions tailored to your specific situation.

In the meantime, here are some practical tips you can implement:
• Use dehumidifiers to control moisture in areas where it's most likely to build up.
• Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows when possible or using exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens.
• Consider installing a smart humidistat that can automatically adjust humidity levels based on the indoor conditions.

Remember, addressing these issues promptly can prevent further damage to your home and safeguard the health of your family.
