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 persistent dampness and musty smell in my bedroom closet. Even with the AC running constantly, the humidity seems to hover around 70%, even though it's supposed to be set at 50%. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits and I’m worried about the long-term effects on their health. Could this high indoor humidity be causing these symptoms?

High humidity can indeed contribute to the symptoms your kids are experiencing. In Dubai and the UAE, where the climate is often hot and humid during certain times of the year, maintaining a proper indoor humidity level becomes crucial for both comfort and health.

The high humidity levels in your bedroom closet, even with the AC running at 50%, might be indicating an underlying issue that needs addressing. Persistent dampness and musty smells are common signs of excess moisture which can lead to mold growth. Mold spores thrive in humid environments and can cause respiratory issues, including coughing fits.

In Dubai, as per the UAE's Building Code and related standards, indoor humidity levels should generally be controlled within a range that promotes occupant comfort while preventing damage to structures and materials. The recommended level you mentioned (50%) is quite low for an AC setting but could be appropriate in certain conditions like summer months when humidity naturally spikes.

Given your situation, it would be wise to have a professional inspection conducted by an environmental expert familiar with the local climate and regulations. They can assess if there's any hidden moisture sources, such as leaks or improper ventilation, which might not be immediately visible but are contributing to the high humidity levels in your closet.

For immediate relief and prevention of further issues, consider these steps:
• Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows (when safe) during non-rainy periods.
• Use a dehumidifier specifically designed for your space size to help manage moisture.
• Check if there are any leaks or water damage around the closet area that might be contributing to the high humidity.

Remember, addressing these issues promptly can prevent further deterioration and safeguard your family's health. If you're in need of professional assistance, don't hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a detailed inspection and remediation plan tailored to your home.

Keep an eye on the condition of your home environment and stay proactive about maintaining good indoor air quality!
