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 indoor humidity cause my kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the nursery, especially around the corners near the windows. The humidity seems to be really high even with the dehumidifier running non-stop. My kids have been coughing more frequently lately and I'm starting to wonder if it's related to the indoor humidity levels. Could this be causing their coughs?

Yes, high indoor humidity could indeed be the cause of your kids' coughs. In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, it's common to experience higher moisture levels especially after rainy periods or during the cooler months. The persistent dampness you've noticed around windows in the nursery could be a sign that there's an issue with the indoor environment.

High humidity can lead to the growth of mold and mildew, which are known triggers for respiratory issues such as coughing, especially in children. According to the UAE’s Ministry of Community Development (MoCD) guidelines, maintaining proper humidity levels is crucial for health and comfort. The recommended range for indoor relative humidity should be between 30% - 60%. Any higher could lead to mold growth and other health concerns.

You mentioned that even with your dehumidifier running non-stop the problem persists. This might indicate a more serious issue, such as water intrusion or inadequate ventilation in the nursery area. It's important to address this promptly to ensure the well-being of your family.

I recommend scheduling an inspection by a professional environmental services company like ours here at Saniservice. We can provide a detailed assessment and offer solutions to reduce humidity levels effectively. Our team uses advanced tools to identify any sources of moisture and develop strategies to maintain optimal indoor air quality.

In the meantime, you could try increasing ventilation by opening windows (when weather permits) or using exhaust fans when bathing or cooking. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth can help remove moisture from surfaces before it leads to mold growth.

If your kids' coughs persist despite these measures, it might be wise to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and advice on how best to manage their symptoms.

Remember, your health is important, so don't hesitate to reach out. Call us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for professional assistance.
