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 our kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in our bedroom. The air feels stale and doesn't seem to circulate well even with the fan on. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately, and I’m worried it might be related to the indoor air quality here. Could this moisture issue be causing their coughs, or is there something else we should check?

could moisture be causing your kids' coughs? well, it's very possible. in dubai and the uae, we experience a mix of climate conditions that can lead to high humidity levels, especially after heavy rains or during summer months when air conditioning is heavily used.

in your situation, with the musty smell and stale feeling in the bedroom, moisture could indeed be an issue. water damage from rain seeping into walls, poor ventilation, or even condensation buildup in a poorly insulated room can all contribute to a high moisture environment. this can lead to growth of mold and mildew which are well-known triggers for respiratory issues like coughing and asthma.

the uae has specific regulations around indoor air quality and the use of materials that resist mold growth. however, it's always good practice to ensure your home is properly ventilated and dry to prevent such issues.

i'd recommend you take a few steps right away:
1. check for any visible water damage or leaks in walls, windows, or roofs.
2. use dehumidifiers if the humidity levels are high.
3. keep an eye on how your kids react to different times of day and activities; they might cough more after playing in certain areas.

if you're not sure about what's going on, i'd suggest calling a professional for an inspection. saniservice is one company that offers indoor air quality assessments specifically tailored to the uae climate. their team can help identify if moisture or mold are contributing factors and provide solutions like air purifiers, dehumidifiers, or even remediation services.

don't hesitate to reach out if you need any more info or want to schedule an inspection. hope your family stays healthy!
