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 increased humidity causing indoor health issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a musty smell in my bedroom closet, even after airing it out. The humidity seems to be higher than usual, and my kids have been complaining of chest congestion and runny noses. Could this be due to the increased indoor humidity? What can I do to lower it and help their symptoms?

Yes, increased humidity can definitely lead to indoor health issues, especially in the context of your situation. High levels of moisture can foster the growth of mold and mildew, both of which release spores that can trigger allergic reactions, respiratory problems, and exacerbate symptoms like chest congestion and runny noses - these are exactly what you're experiencing with your kids.

In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, it's common to see spikes in humidity post heavy rainfall. The region’s climate is naturally humid and warm, but such weather events can push indoor levels beyond a comfortable range. Typically, for healthy living spaces, relative humidity should be maintained between 30-50%. Your symptoms suggest that your bedroom closet may have exceeded this threshold.

Firstly, ensure good ventilation in the area where you’re experiencing these issues. Opening windows or using exhaust fans during and after rainfall can help reduce moisture levels. Also, consider using dehumidifiers if your closet has a persistent humidity problem. These devices are particularly useful in areas that don’t get sufficient air circulation.

In addition to these steps, it’s crucial to address the root cause of high humidity, which could be due to leaks or condensation in walls and floors. It's advisable to have a professional inspection by contacting Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) if you suspect that there are hidden moisture issues.

Regular cleaning and maintaining a dry environment can also prevent the growth of mold and other allergens. Use cleaning agents specifically designed for mold removal, but ensure proper ventilation when applying them to avoid inhaling harmful spores.

Lastly, keeping an eye on indoor humidity levels with a hygrometer could be beneficial. This tool will help you monitor the conditions and make adjustments accordingly. If your efforts at self-help don’t suffice or if symptoms worsen, seeking professional assistance is highly recommended. Remember that persistent health issues may need medical attention as well.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for expert guidance on dealing with indoor humidity in Dubai and the UAE.
