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 indoor air covered by insurance?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a damp smell lingering in the basement where I store a lot of my family’s holiday decorations. The AC in my apartment seems to struggle with keeping it dry too, even on the highest setting. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately and I’m starting to wonder if there’s something wrong with the indoor air quality here. How urgent is this issue and what should I do about it?

Indoor air quality is indeed a crucial concern and can have significant implications for the health of residents. In the UAE, including Dubai, there are no specific regulations mandating indoor air quality standards like those found in some other countries. However, companies and individuals must still adhere to general safety guidelines and best practices.

The situation you're experiencing with damp smell and coughing could be linked to poor air quality. Mold growth often thrives under these conditions and can lead to respiratory issues especially for children. This is particularly concerning as mold spores can circulate in the air and cause allergic reactions, asthma attacks, and other health problems.

In your case, it would be wise to have a professional inspection done. The UAE-based company "Saniservice" offers such services with their number 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or you can email them at hello@saniservice.com for more information. They will assess the level of mold, if present, and recommend appropriate remediation steps to improve air quality.

To prevent further issues, consider installing a dehumidifier in your basement to keep moisture levels down. Ensure good ventilation and remove any standing water or damp materials promptly. Regularly check for leaks and address them immediately as they can contribute to increased humidity and mold growth.

While indoor air quality isn’t covered by insurance policies in the UAE, some home insurance plans may include coverage for damage from water leaks which could lead to mold growth. It’s advisable to review your policy details or contact your insurer to clarify what is and isn’t covered.

In summary, the issue you are facing requires attention due to potential health risks. A professional inspection can help you understand the extent of the problem and guide necessary steps towards improving indoor air quality in your home.
