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' symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be struggling lately, especially during the evenings when it’s supposed to cool down. The humidity level has been quite high, even after running the dehumidifier for hours. My kids have been complaining of stuffy noses and dry skin, which makes me worry about their health. Could this be due to the high indoor humidity levels?

Yes, high humidity can indeed contribute to your kids' symptoms. In the UAE and particularly in Dubai, where we experience hot summers, maintaining indoor comfort is crucial, especially for the health of children. High humidity levels can lead to a variety of issues such as stuffy noses and dry skin due to the way it affects the environment.

Humidity levels above 60% are generally considered uncomfortable, and they can cause an increase in airborne allergens like dust mites, mold spores, and pollen. These particles can irritate your children's respiratory systems leading to congestion and stuffiness. Moreover, high humidity can also lead to a more rapid evaporation of moisture from the skin, which might contribute to dryness.

It sounds like you’ve already taken steps by using a dehumidifier, but if it’s not yielding satisfactory results, it could be due to several factors including the capacity of your current device or even issues with the AC system. In Dubai, where air conditioning is an integral part of daily life, ensuring that both systems are functioning properly is vital.

Given the importance of indoor environmental quality in our climate, I would recommend having a professional inspection done. Saniservice offers reliable services for assessing and improving your indoor environment. They can help identify any underlying issues with your AC or dehumidifier and provide solutions tailored to the local UAE conditions. You could give them a call at 800-MOLDS or send an email to hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection.

In the meantime, here are some practical tips:
• Increase ventilation by opening windows when possible (be mindful of outdoor pollution levels)
• Use exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens
• Keep surfaces clean to prevent mold growth
• Consider installing a whole-house dehumidifier if you find it necessary

Remember, maintaining an indoor humidity level between 30%-50% is ideal for comfort and health. By addressing the issue seriously, you can help create a healthier living environment for your family.
