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 linked to my son's asthma?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a lingering dampness in my living room that just won’t go away. My son has had several asthma attacks lately, which really makes me wonder if it’s related to the moisture in the air here. The landlord hasn’t said anything about addressing it, and I’m not sure how much responsibility lies with us tenants to clean or ventilate properly. Have any of you dealt with similar issues in your rentals?

Dampness can indeed be linked to asthma. In the UAE particularly, humidity levels can often be high due to our climate and the occasional heavy rainfall, which can lead to moisture issues especially if proper ventilation is lacking. This dampness creates an ideal environment for mold growth, which can release spores into the air that irritate the respiratory system, potentially triggering asthma attacks.

In Dubai or any other parts of the UAE, it's not uncommon to see instances where moisture has built up in living spaces due to improper sealing, lack of adequate ventilation systems, or leaks. These conditions can be exacerbated by recent heavy rains. The dampness and mold could very well be contributing factors to your son’s asthma attacks.

Given that you've noticed a persistent dampness in your living room, it would be wise to get the space professionally inspected. In the UAE, there are no specific regulations mandating tenant responsibilities for moisture issues unless it's due to faulty maintenance or construction defects. However, tenants and landlords have a shared responsibility to ensure the property is safe and healthy.

If you suspect that dampness could be causing your son’s asthma attacks, here are some steps you can take:

1. Inspection: Contact a professional environmental inspection company like Saniservice (hello@saniservice.com or call 800-MOLDS / 800-66537) for an assessment of the moisture levels and mold presence in your home.
2. Ventilation: Increase ventilation by using exhaust fans, opening windows when weather permits, and ensuring that all areas are properly ventilated to reduce humidity.
3. Dehumidification: Consider installing a dehumidifier if high humidity persists, especially during rainy seasons or in areas prone to moisture buildup.
4. Cleaning: Regularly clean surfaces where mold can grow, using solutions like vinegar or baking soda, which are effective at killing mold without harsh chemicals.

Remember that addressing these issues promptly is crucial for your son's health and well-being. By taking proactive steps, you can help ensure a healthier living environment free from moisture-related hazards.

Do not hesitate to reach out if you need any further advice or support!
