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 indoor humidity causing my family's health issues?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be struggling with the humidity since last week. The air feels thick, especially in the bedroom where the unit is placed. My kids have been complaining of a persistent cough and I’ve also noticed some mild skin irritation. Could this be due to high indoor humidity levels?

High indoor humidity can indeed be a contributing factor to the health issues your family is experiencing. In the UAE, particularly Dubai, we often face high outdoor temperatures that can make it challenging for air conditioning systems to keep up, especially when dealing with sudden increases in humidity levels.

The thick feeling and persistent cough your kids are experiencing could well be linked to elevated indoor moisture levels. High humidity creates a perfect environment for mold growth, dust mites, and other allergens which can irritate the respiratory system and exacerbate existing conditions like asthma or allergies.

In Dubai, it's not uncommon to see relative humidity levels reach uncomfortable highs during certain times of the year. These conditions can cause moisture to build up in walls and furniture, leading to an overall increase in indoor humidity. The bedroom where your AC unit is placed may be more affected due to its limited airflow compared to other areas of your home.

To properly address this issue, I recommend getting a professional indoor air quality inspection done. In the UAE, companies like Saniservice can offer comprehensive assessments that include checking for mold and moisture levels in your apartment. They will use advanced equipment to measure humidity accurately and provide recommendations on how to reduce it effectively.

In the meantime, here are some practical steps you can take:

1. Ensure your AC unit is functioning at its best by cleaning or replacing filters regularly.
2. Use dehumidifiers in high-risk areas like bedrooms if possible.
3. Increase ventilation by opening windows when outdoor humidity isn't too high (check local weather reports).
4. Avoid using humidifiers unless absolutely necessary and make sure to maintain them properly.

If symptoms persist after making these adjustments, please consider contacting Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a detailed inspection and professional advice.

Remember, maintaining healthy indoor air quality is crucial in Dubai's hot and humid climate. Take action now to ensure your family’s well-being.
