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 seriously affecting health?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent mustiness in my bedroom. The humidity levels are through the roof, even with the dehumidifier running non-stop. It's getting to the point where I’m concerned it might be affecting my health and that of my family. How urgent is this issue, and what steps should I take immediately?

High humidity levels can indeed have serious implications for your health and well-being. In the UAE, especially in Dubai where we experience high temperatures coupled with increased humidity during certain seasons, it's crucial to keep an eye on indoor moisture levels. Persistent mustiness you've noticed could be a sign of elevated humidity or potential mold growth – both issues that can significantly impact your family’s health.

In the UAE, there is no specific regulation mandating maximum humidity levels in homes, but generally speaking, aiming for a comfortable level around 40-60% relative humidity (RH) would be ideal. Higher than this could lead to uncomfortable conditions and increase the risk of mold growth which can trigger allergies, respiratory issues, and other health problems.

Given that your dehumidifier isn't keeping up with the moisture levels despite running non-stop, it might indicate a more serious issue requiring professional attention. If you notice visible signs such as water stains on walls or floors, musty odors, or even mold growth, immediate action is essential to prevent further damage and potential health risks.

I would recommend scheduling an inspection by a professional service familiar with local conditions in the UAE. Companies like Saniservice can help assess your home's current humidity levels, identify any sources of moisture, and provide solutions for remediation. Their services will ensure that not only are you addressing immediate concerns but also taking preventive measures to avoid future issues.

For now, continue using your dehumidifier while considering some additional steps:
• Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows when possible (while avoiding direct exposure during extreme weather).
• Use exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens to remove excess moisture.
• Keep an eye on the humidity levels with a hygrometer if you have one.

Remember, maintaining indoor air quality is key. If you are concerned about your health or the well-being of your family, don’t hesitate to reach out for professional help. For any queries or assistance, feel free to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.

Stay healthy and dry!
