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' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell in my bedroom, but it only seemed to be coming from one corner near the window. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately, and I’m starting to wonder if there’s an issue with the indoor air quality. Could this be due to moisture buildup or something else?

Yes, moisture can indeed be the culprit behind your kids' coughs. In Dubai and other regions of the UAE, we often experience rapid changes in humidity due to weather patterns like those after a rainstorm. High levels of moisture can lead to the growth of mold and mildew, which are known irritants that may cause respiratory issues such as coughing.

In your case, the musty smell coming from one corner near the window is quite telling. Mold thrives in damp environments and can spread quickly if not addressed promptly. The UAE has stringent building regulations aimed at maintaining indoor air quality (IAQ), including standards for moisture control. According to the UAE Building Code, all structures should be designed with proper ventilation systems and drainage solutions to prevent such issues.

Given your situation, it would be wise to conduct a professional inspection. Saniservice can help you out; they specialize in environmental inspections and remediation. Give them a call at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an assessment. Early intervention can prevent the spread of mold and ensure better air quality for your family.

In the meantime, there are some steps you can take to manage moisture:
1. Ensure proper ventilation: Open windows when weather allows and use exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens.
2. Dry out wet areas quickly: Use a dehumidifier or fan to dry any damp spots.
3. Check for leaks: Inspect your plumbing and roof for any signs of water damage.

Remember, addressing moisture issues early can save you from bigger problems down the line. Keep an eye on the IAQ in your home, especially during weather changes, to keep your family healthy.
