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 and coughing linked to poor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy storms last month, I noticed a strange dampness in my guest bedroom that wasn’t there before. The air feels heavier and seems to stick to my skin when I walk in there. My kids have been coughing more frequently too, especially after playing in that room. Could this be related to indoor air quality issues?

Dampness and coughing can indeed be linked to poor indoor air quality (IAQ) issues. In the UAE, particularly during storms like those we experienced last month, it’s quite common for increased humidity levels which could contribute to dampness in your home. This moisture can lead to mold growth, and mold spores are notorious for causing respiratory issues such as coughing.

In Dubai and the UAE, regulations concerning IAQ are not as stringent compared to some other regions, but ensuring a healthy indoor environment is still crucial. The heavy storms you experienced likely introduced more moisture into your home, especially in areas like your guest bedroom where you've noticed changes. This dampness can create an environment favorable for mold growth and dust mites—both of which are major contributors to respiratory issues.

The frequent coughing from your kids after playing in that room is a red flag. It’s not uncommon for children to be more sensitive to IAQ problems due to their developing lungs and immune systems. Coughing could simply be due to the irritation caused by mold spores, dust mites, or even allergens present.

Given these circumstances, it would be wise to call in professionals who can conduct a thorough inspection of your home's air quality and moisture levels. At SanIService, we have experts equipped with state-of-the-art tools that can detect even microscopic signs of mold and other harmful particles. Our services are available 24/7 at 800-MOLDS or you can email us at hello@saniservice.com.

Remember to check for any visible signs of moisture damage such as water stains, peeling paint, or musty odors. If you find anything suspicious, don’t hesitate to act swiftly. Keeping your indoor environment clean and dry is key to maintaining good IAQ, but sometimes professional help is necessary to identify and resolve underlying issues.

Taking these steps can prevent further health problems for both you and your family in the long run.
