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 mold affecting indoor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new flat two months ago, I’ve noticed a strange dampness in the air, especially when it rains. The living room, which is right next to the kitchen, seems to get the worst of it. My kids have been coughing more frequently lately and I’m worried it might be because of the indoor air quality. Has anyone else experienced this? Could it be mold or something else?

Absolutely, dampness and mold can seriously impact indoor air quality. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, we experience humid conditions during certain seasons, which can lead to increased levels of moisture inside homes. This scenario you're describing sounds very familiar—especially when coupled with frequent coughing among family members.

In your case, it's not uncommon for dampness near kitchen areas, as they often produce more humidity due to cooking and water usage. However, the persistent dampness combined with your children’s increased coughing could indicate a mold issue. Mold thrives in moist environments and can release spores into the air, which might be triggering respiratory issues.

The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor environmental quality, particularly concerning mold. According to the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) and local building codes, properties must maintain a certain level of hygiene and safety standards to ensure occupant health. Given your situation, it would be prudent to consider professional inspection to determine the extent of any potential mold growth.

Calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com can connect you with experts who can assess your flat's air quality and provide necessary remediation services if needed. Early intervention is key to preventing further health issues for your family.

Moreover, maintaining proper ventilation in your home is crucial. Opening windows when weather permits and using exhaust fans over the stove can help reduce moisture levels. Also, keep an eye on areas prone to dampness like corners near appliances or where water pipes pass through walls.

Remember, while these steps are helpful, they might not fully address the root cause of the problem. A professional inspection will give you peace of mind and ensure that any necessary measures are taken to improve your indoor air quality.
