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 from humidifiers causing my kids' symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell in the bedroom, especially during the evenings. My kids have been complaining of chest congestion and sneezing, which has worsened since we installed new humidifiers to combat the dry air. Could this increase in humidity be causing their symptoms?

Increased humidity from humidifiers can indeed contribute to your kids' symptoms. In Dubai and the UAE, our climate is quite dry, especially during winter months. This often leads to us needing to use humidifiers to maintain a comfortable environment. However, if not managed properly, these devices can also increase the moisture content in the air which might lead to mold growth or exacerbate existing issues.

The musty smell you noticed and your kids' complaints of chest congestion and sneezing could be linked to higher humidity levels. Mold thrives in damp environments, and increased humidity can create a breeding ground for it. Even if you haven't seen visible signs of mold, the presence of moisture can lead to hidden growth behind walls or under carpets.

In Dubai, as per local regulations, indoor air quality should ideally be maintained within certain limits. The UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) recommends keeping relative humidity levels between 30% - 60%. Exceeding this range can encourage microbial growth which may affect your family's health.

To ensure the safety and comfort in your home, it’s advisable to get a professional indoor air quality inspection. Call us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an assessment. We will use advanced equipment to measure humidity levels accurately and check for mold presence without causing unnecessary alarm.

In the meantime, here are some tips you can implement:
• Regularly clean your humidifier as per manufacturer instructions.
• Use distilled water in the device to reduce mineral content that could affect air quality.
• Ensure proper ventilation within your home especially after using the humidifiers at night.
• Check for and fix any leaks promptly as they can increase moisture levels.

Remember, maintaining a healthy indoor environment is crucial. If you notice persistent issues or worsening symptoms despite following these tips, don’t hesitate to reach out for professional help.
