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 duct sealing causing my dampness and coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy storms we had last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the corners of my living room, especially near the windows. It’s been there for about two weeks now, and it’s really starting to worry me that it might be due to some kind of duct sealing issue. Could this be causing not just the damp smell but also those nagging coughs I’ve had lately? How urgent is it to address this?

Duct sealing is indeed an important aspect of indoor environmental quality and can play a significant role in dampness issues and respiratory concerns like coughs. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, where we experience extreme temperatures and humidity fluctuations, proper ductwork maintenance is crucial to maintaining a healthy living environment.

The persistent dampness you're experiencing could be related to leaking or poorly sealed ductwork. Leaks in your HVAC system can allow outside air to enter unconditioned spaces like attics or crawlspaces, which are often more humid than the conditioned areas of your home. This influx of moisture-laden air can contribute directly to dampness and mold growth, especially in corners near windows where humidity levels tend to be higher.

As for the coughs, while they could be caused by a variety of factors including allergens, irritants or even cold drafts from improperly sealed ducts, it’s important not to ignore the potential connection. Damp air can carry spores and other microscopic particles that may exacerbate respiratory issues like coughing and asthma.

Given your concerns, it would be prudent to have a professional inspection conducted. The team at Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) are experienced in assessing indoor air quality and ductwork integrity. They can perform a thorough evaluation of your system and identify any leaks or seal issues contributing to the dampness.

In addition to addressing potential duct sealing problems, it’s also important to ensure proper ventilation in your home, especially during periods with higher humidity outside. Running an exhaust fan when showering, cooking, or doing laundry can help reduce moisture levels inside your living space.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key to a healthy environment. Don’t hesitate to reach out for professional assistance if you’re concerned about the health impacts of dampness and coughs in your home.
