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.

Is damp smell from storms harming my kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy storms last month, I noticed a strange damp smell lingering in my living room. Even though we’ve had the dehumidifier running non-stop, it doesn’t seem to be helping much. My kids have been complaining of chest tightness and coughing, especially when they’re playing down there. Could this be related to the air quality? What can I do to improve it in my home?

Absolutely, the damp smell from storms can indeed be harmful to your kids. The presence of moisture post-storms often leads to an increase in mold growth which can contribute significantly to poor indoor air quality (IAQ) in homes like yours.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we've seen several instances where high humidity levels following heavy rains have led to similar issues. Mold spores thrive in damp environments and can release allergens, toxins, and irritants into the air which may lead to symptoms such as chest tightness and coughing – exactly what your kids are experiencing.

To address this issue, I recommend scheduling a professional indoor air quality inspection with our company. We have extensive experience dealing with post-storm IAQ issues in Dubai and can provide a comprehensive assessment of the situation in your home. Our services include detailed mold testing, humidity level analysis, and recommendations for remediation based on UAE standards.

In the meantime, you can try some immediate steps to reduce moisture levels and improve air quality:
• Increase ventilation by opening windows when possible (check local weather conditions first).
• Use fans to help circulate air within your living space.
• Ensure that any standing water is cleaned up promptly. Water accumulation can be a breeding ground for mold.

Remember, it's crucial to keep the area dry as moisture breeds not only mold but also other irritants which could exacerbate respiratory issues in children and adults alike.

For further assistance or to schedule an inspection, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. We're here to help ensure your family's health and safety during these challenging times.
