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 rainstorm we had last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell lingering in our kitchen. The air feels unusually damp, especially during the evenings. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits lately, and I’m starting to wonder if it’s because of the humidity levels. Is there anything I can do to reduce the moisture inside my home without breaking the bank?

High humidity can indeed cause discomfort and respiratory issues like coughing. In the UAE, especially during our wetter months, maintaining indoor air quality is crucial for health and comfort. The persistent musty smell you're noticing could be a sign of excess moisture leading to mold growth, which might explain your kids' coughs.

Firstly, it’s important to assess the humidity levels in your home. Ideally, the relative humidity should stay between 30% and 50%. Humidity meters are readily available at local hardware stores or online for around AED 100-200. Check these readings regularly, especially during evenings when you've noted increased dampness.

If you find that your home’s humidity is consistently above 60%, action needs to be taken. High levels of moisture can lead to mold and mildew growth, which are known triggers for respiratory issues like coughing fits in children.

To reduce indoor humidity naturally, start by ensuring proper ventilation. Open windows when the weather allows it to allow fresh air in. In your kitchen and bathroom, use exhaust fans during cooking or bathing to remove moisture quickly.

Investing in a dehumidifier can be very effective. Look for models with adjustable settings and energy-efficient features. A small portable unit might suffice if you need temporary relief from high humidity. Prices range around AED 300-800, depending on capacity and features.

If natural methods don't provide sufficient relief or if you notice visible signs of mold like black spots on walls or ceilings, it’s wise to call in a professional inspection. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can help assess the situation without breaking your budget. Their services are available through 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or by email at hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, maintaining indoor air quality is key to keeping everyone healthy during our wetter periods. By taking these steps, you can significantly improve the comfort and health of your home environment for you and your kids.
