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 in bedroom causing poor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains we had last month, I noticed a dampness creeping into my bedroom closet. The musty smell is quite strong and seems to get worse after it’s humid outside. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits in that room especially at night. Has anyone else experienced this or any suggestions on how to improve the indoor air quality?

Yes, dampness in your bedroom closet can indeed be causing poor air quality. In the UAE and specifically in Dubai, humidity levels can fluctuate significantly, especially after heavy rainfalls like you mentioned last month. This sudden change often leads to moisture accumulation in areas that might not receive adequate ventilation.

The musty smell and coughing fits experienced by your kids are common symptoms of indoor air quality issues related to dampness. Mold spores thrive in moist environments, and they can release allergens and irritants into the air, leading to respiratory problems like coughs and asthma attacks, particularly at night when humidity levels often increase.

In Dubai, it’s not uncommon for buildings to experience such issues due to the climate conditions and sometimes inadequate building design. The UAE doesn’t have specific regulations on indoor air quality but it's crucial to ensure a healthy living environment in your home.

To address this issue, I strongly recommend having an inspection by professionals who specialize in indoor environmental quality. They can identify if there are active mold growth or any other issues contributing to poor air quality. In Dubai, you could call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a thorough assessment.

Until then, here are some immediate steps you can take:
1. Increase ventilation: Open windows when the weather allows it, and use exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens.
2. Use dehumidifiers: These devices can help reduce moisture levels in your closet or room, making the environment less favorable for mold growth.
3. Clean regularly: Dust and clean surfaces to avoid accumulation of dust which can mix with mold spores.
4. Address leaks promptly: Check for any water leakage and fix it immediately to prevent further dampness.

Remember, addressing indoor air quality issues is not only about improving comfort but also about ensuring a healthy living environment for your family. Taking action now could save you from more serious health problems in the future.
