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 causing my kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the corner of our living room near the window. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately, especially when they come home from school. Could this be related to the moisture in the air? What steps should we take to improve the indoor air quality here?

Dampness can indeed be linked to your kids' coughs. In the UAE, especially during the rainy season, humidity levels often rise which can lead to increased moisture and mold growth inside homes. Mold spores are airborne and can trigger allergic reactions or respiratory issues in children, making them more susceptible to coughing spells.

In your case, the dampness near the window corner could be promoting mold growth. When moisture accumulates in certain areas of a home, it creates an ideal environment for mold to thrive. Mold release tiny spores into the air which can irritate the respiratory system and exacerbate conditions like asthma or allergies.

To tackle this issue effectively, you might want to conduct a professional inspection as per UAE regulations which require regular maintenance checks for dampness issues. The Abu Dhabi Environmental and Energy Agency (ADEA) recommends annual assessments of indoor environments to ensure they meet the air quality standards set forth in their guidelines.

For immediate steps:

1. Clean up any visible mold with a solution of water and detergent. Be sure to dry thoroughly after cleaning.
2. Use dehumidifiers or air conditioning units to reduce humidity levels inside your home. Aim for an indoor relative humidity between 30-50%.
3. Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows when possible, especially in the affected areas like near the window.
4. Install a moisture barrier if needed. This can be particularly effective under carpeting or around windows.

It’s also advisable to keep an eye on your kids' symptoms and consult with their pediatrician if coughs persist. They might recommend allergy testing or other medical interventions based on their overall health.

For further assistance, you could contact a professional service like Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for expert remediation and advice tailored to your home’s specific needs. Remember, addressing mold issues early can prevent more serious health complications down the line.
