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 living room urgent?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the corners of our living room. The musty smell has lingered despite regular cleaning and ventilation. My kids have been complaining about coughing fits every night. How urgent is it to address this issue, and what steps should we take immediately?

The dampness and musty smell in your living room is indeed something to be concerned about. It's important to address this issue promptly as it can lead to several health hazards for you and your family, especially the kids who are experiencing coughing fits.

Firstly, dampness and mold growth are common issues after heavy rainfall or flooding events like what happened last month in Dubai. In the UAE, regulations require buildings to have proper drainage systems and waterproofing measures to prevent water intrusion (UAE Building Code No. 20 of 1975). The persistent dampness suggests that there might be underlying structural issues or a moisture source you haven't identified yet.

The musty smell is often associated with mold, which can produce allergens and irritants and may cause respiratory problems, especially in children. Coughing fits could indicate an allergic reaction to mold spores. It's crucial to address this situation quickly to protect your family’s health.

To begin addressing the issue, start by ensuring good ventilation in the living room. Open windows when weather permits and use dehumidifiers or air purifiers if necessary. Regular cleaning with water-moistened cloths can help remove surface mold, but deeper issues may require professional attention.

Given that you've been experiencing these symptoms for some time despite your efforts, it's advisable to have a professional inspection done. A qualified environmental inspector will be able to assess the extent of any mold growth and identify potential sources of moisture, such as leaks or inadequate drainage systems. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice are well-versed in conducting such inspections.

If you suspect mold or need assistance, don't hesitate to contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a professional evaluation and remediation services. Early intervention can prevent more serious health issues and extensive damage to your property.

Remember, addressing dampness is not just about immediate health concerns but also about maintaining the value of your home in an area where building regulations are stringent and moisture control is crucial for comfort and safety.
