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 high humidity causing my kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell in the basement of our apartment. The humidity feels really high even with the dehumidifier running all day. My kids have been coughing more often lately, and I’m starting to wonder if it’s because of the indoor humidity levels. Do you think there's something we can do ourselves, or should we consider professional help?

High humidity levels can indeed be causing your kids' coughs. High moisture content in the air can lead to mold growth, which is a common trigger for respiratory issues, especially in children. The musty smell you are noticing and the persistent coughing could be linked.

In Dubai, we often experience high humidity due to the climate, but with recent heavy rains, it's even more critical to keep an eye on indoor conditions. Dehumidifiers can help, but they might not always provide a comprehensive solution, especially in basements where moisture is more prevalent.

Firstly, ensure your dehumidifier is functioning at its best. Check if the drain channel is clear and that the water reservoir empties without overflowing. It's recommended to empty it daily or as needed to maintain optimal performance.

Secondly, inspect your basement for any visible signs of mold growth or water damage. Mold thrives in damp environments and can produce spores that irritate the respiratory system. If you find any, it’s important to clean up carefully using appropriate protective gear like gloves and masks. However, if the area is large or you’re unsure about handling it safely, a professional inspection might be necessary.

Thirdly, consider improving ventilation in your home. Open windows when possible, especially during cooler times of day, but ensure there's no direct rain exposure. Using exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens can also help reduce moisture levels.

If the situation persists despite these measures or if you notice any health concerns worsening, it would be wise to seek professional assistance. Here at Saniservice, we provide comprehensive indoor environmental inspections and remediation services tailored for Dubai’s climate. Our team is equipped with the latest tools and techniques to identify and address humidity-related issues effectively.
