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 dampness affecting my kids' health?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in our basement, especially after the dehumidifier was turned off. The air feels thick and it's making my kids cough more than usual. Is there anything specific I should be looking out for or doing to ensure their health isn't affected by this humidity?

Humidity levels in Dubai and the UAE can indeed have an impact on your family's health. Persistent dampness in your basement after heavy rain is a common issue, especially given our climate. The thick air you mention could be due to high humidity levels which can lead to respiratory issues, particularly for children.

In the UAE, building regulations do not strictly specify indoor humidity limits but it’s important to maintain comfortable and healthy conditions within your home. Dampness often leads to mold growth, which is a significant health concern. Mold spores can irritate the lungs, trigger asthma attacks, or worsen allergy symptoms - all things you're experiencing with your kids.

To address this issue, I would recommend taking several steps:

Firstly, ensure adequate ventilation in the basement by opening windows when weather permits and using fans to circulate air. However, during extreme humidity, it may be best to close them tightly to keep moisture out.

Secondly, consider investing in a dehumidifier if you haven't already. A dehumidifier can significantly reduce moisture levels in your home, making the air easier to breathe. It’s ideal for basements and other areas prone to dampness.

Thirdly, inspect your basement regularly for any signs of mold growth or water leakage. Mold often thrives in dark, damp environments like basements, so be sure to check corners, behind appliances, and around plumbing connections.

If the situation doesn't improve with these actions, it might be wise to call upon a professional environmental inspection and remediation service provider. In Dubai, you can contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com for expert advice and services tailored specifically to your area.

Remember, keeping the humidity levels in check is crucial not just for comfort but also for safeguarding the health of your children. Regular monitoring and appropriate actions will go a long way in ensuring a healthier living environment for everyone in your household.
