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 moisture cause my kids' coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the corners of my son's bedroom. The AC in our apartment seems to be struggling to keep up with the humidity, and now there’s a musty smell that lingers even after cleaning. My kids have been coughing more frequently lately, which has me worried about what might be lurking in the air or on surfaces. Could this moisture issue be causing these symptoms?

Could moisture cause my kids' coughing?

Absolutely. High levels of humidity can indeed contribute to respiratory issues and increase the risk of allergic reactions in your home. In Dubai and the UAE, we've seen several instances where dampness or moisture issues have led to an uptick in coughs and other ailments amongst residents.

In your case, you're experiencing a musty smell which is often an indicator of mold growth. Mold thrives in moist environments and can produce spores that are irritants for the respiratory system. This could be causing your children's coughing. The AC struggling to keep up might mean humidity levels aren't being managed properly, leading to a perfect environment for mold.

UAE regulations require buildings to maintain certain standards of indoor air quality, but it’s crucial to ensure these standards are met, especially in the wake of heavy rains or changes in weather patterns.

I'd recommend you contact a professional environmental inspection and remediation service like Saniservice to conduct an assessment. They can identify if there's mold growth, check for proper ventilation, and advise on ways to reduce humidity levels. You might want to give them a call at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for further guidance.

In the meantime, you could take some immediate steps such as running dehumidifiers in affected rooms, using fans to improve air circulation, and ensuring proper ventilation when cooking or showering. Regularly cleaning and drying areas prone to moisture can also help prevent mold from forming.

Stay proactive about this issue; addressing it promptly can significantly reduce the risk of health problems for your family.
