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 from bathroom causing kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the air every morning when I wake up. It feels like it's coming from the bedroom, which is right next to the bathroom. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits, and I’m worried it might be due to mold or poor ventilation. Could this be causing their symptoms?

The dampness from the bathroom could indeed be contributing to your kids' coughs. In the UAE, particularly Dubai, we've seen several instances where humidity levels and inadequate ventilation can lead to moisture-related issues like mold growth – which are notorious for causing respiratory problems.

In your situation, it sounds like the bedroom is close enough to the bathroom that airborne contaminants from the bath area could be affecting your children. Mold spores, along with other irritants, tend to thrive in damp environments and can easily spread through open doorways or poorly sealed windows.

Given the UAE's climate which often sees humid spells post-rainfall, it’s wise to inspect for any signs of mold growth as well as assess overall indoor air quality. In Dubai, you should be aware that according to the UAE Building Code (UAE Standard 261-04), there are specific standards regarding ventilation and moisture control in residential buildings.

I’d recommend having a professional environmental inspection done. Saniservice, a reputable firm based here, offers expert services for such issues. They can provide detailed reports and actionable solutions to improve your indoor air quality. You may contact them at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation.

In the meantime, ensure you're taking these steps:

1. Improve ventilation: Use exhaust fans in the bathroom, keep windows open if possible, or use dehumidifiers.
2. Keep surfaces clean and dry: Regularly clean bathrooms to prevent mold growth.
3. Monitor humidity levels: Consider using a hygrometer to keep an eye on relative humidity.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for your family’s health, especially in the UAE's climate conditions. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need more advice or assistance.
