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 our rental causing kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a damp smell lingering in the basement of our rental, especially when we open the windows. The AC seems to run almost constantly trying to keep the space dry, but it’s still humid down there. My kids have been coughing more frequently lately, and I’m wondering if this could be due to poor indoor air quality or just a coincidence. Could anyone give me some insight into who is responsible for addressing damp issues in our rental?

Dampness in your rental could indeed be contributing to the coughing of your kids. The moisture and mold growth that often accompany damp conditions can irritate respiratory systems, leading to increased coughing especially among children who are more susceptible to such environmental factors.

In the UAE context, particularly Dubai, it's important to note that there are no specific laws mandating landlords or tenants on addressing dampness directly, but the Health & Safety in Employment law does require a safe and healthy environment for all workers. For residential properties, while not explicitly stated, maintaining good indoor air quality is considered part of this responsibility.

Given your situation, it would be wise to have a professional inspection done by a company familiar with UAE regulations like Saniservice. They can assess the extent of dampness, determine if mold is present and advise on necessary remediation steps. Ignoring such issues might lead to more serious health problems for your family.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com today to schedule an inspection. It's also advisable to ensure proper ventilation in the basement area by opening windows when weather permits, using dehumidifiers if needed and checking that water drainage around the building is functioning correctly to prevent future dampness.

Remember, addressing these issues promptly can significantly improve your family’s health and comfort, ensuring a better living environment for all.
