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 storm causing indoor air quality issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy storm last month, I noticed a strange dampness in my living room, even though it hadn't rained there. The carpet smells musty, and my kids have been coughing more than usual since then. Could this be due to indoor air quality issues? What should I do to improve the situation?

Hello there,

Dampness in your living room following the storm could indeed be causing indoor air quality issues. Moisture can foster mold growth and harbor dust mites which might trigger allergies or respiratory problems, especially for kids. In Dubai/UAE, we often experience high humidity levels, making it easier for dampness to persist.

Firstly, you should consider inspecting your living space for any visible signs of water damage or mold. Look for discoloration on walls, ceilings, or carpets that may indicate moisture intrusion. The UAE building codes and regulations do not have specific thresholds for indoor humidity but recommend maintaining a relative humidity level below 60% to prevent mold growth.

To improve the situation, start by addressing any sources of water leakage or dampness. Check your roof and windows for damage, and ensure that gutters are clear to direct rainwater away from your home’s foundation. Use dehumidifiers if necessary, but make sure they are properly maintained to avoid spreading moisture around.

It's also advisable to enhance ventilation in the affected areas. Open windows when weather permits or use exhaust fans to circulate air. In Dubai where high temperatures and humidity can be an issue, a good air conditioning system with appropriate dehumidification features could help maintain a healthier indoor environment.

Since mold spores are common in the UAE and can cause health issues, it's recommended that you seek professional assistance if the dampness persists or worsens. Our company, SanIService, offers expert inspection and remediation services for such cases. We can help identify hidden sources of moisture and ensure thorough cleaning to remove any mold colonies.

For those seeking support locally, feel free to reach out us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. We’re here to assist you in ensuring a healthier indoor environment for your family.

Remember, prompt action is key to preventing further issues and maintaining good air quality. Take care of it now before the problem gets worse.

Warm regards,
