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 rain causing my kids' asthma?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a damp mustiness in the basement that hasn't gone away, even with running the dehumidifier. My kids have been coughing more at night, and when I checked their rooms, there's visible condensation on the walls. Could this be causing their asthma symptoms?

Yes, the dampness from rain could be causing your kids' asthma symptoms. In the UAE, especially during the wetter months, humidity levels can spike leading to conditions like mold growth which are known triggers for asthma. The mustiness and visible condensation on walls in your basement indicate that there's a significant moisture issue.

In Dubai, it's not uncommon to experience these weather changes after rainfall, but persistent dampness can lead to serious health issues, especially for those with respiratory conditions like asthma. The damp environment creates an ideal breeding ground for mold spores which, once airborne, can be inhaled and trigger asthma attacks or exacerbate existing symptoms.

It’s important that you take action now before the situation worsens. First, ensure proper ventilation by using fans or opening windows when weather permits to reduce indoor humidity. However, it's crucial to address the root cause of the dampness. If a dehumidifier isn't fully resolving the issue, I would recommend having a professional inspection done.

In the UAE, there are no specific regulations mandating mold testing but the health and safety standards in place do suggest that maintaining indoor air quality is paramount for public welfare. Engaging an expert from a company like Saniservice can help you get to the bottom of this problem. They offer thorough inspections and remediation services which are vital in tackling moisture issues.

Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com for more details on how they can assist you with your specific case. Remember, the earlier you address these issues, the better it is for everyone’s health, especially that of children and those who suffer from asthma.

[Typo: The sentence should read "Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com" rather than "Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email saniservice.com" - just a small slip!]
