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 dampness linked to kids' coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness that seemed to settle in the corner of our living room. The AC in my apartment has been running more than usual too, but it doesn’t seem to be helping much with the humidity levels. My kids have been coughing and sneezing more frequently lately, especially after being indoors for extended periods. Could this be related to the indoor air quality?

Yes, indoor dampness can indeed be linked to kids' coughing and other respiratory issues. When moisture accumulates in spaces such as your living room corner after a rainstorm, it can lead to the growth of mold and mildew. These microorganisms release spores into the air which can irritate your children's respiratory systems leading to symptoms like coughing and sneezing.

In Dubai and the UAE, the climate is quite warm with high humidity levels especially during certain times of the year. This can create perfect conditions for mold to grow, particularly in areas that have experienced water damage or excessive moisture. It’s not uncommon for air conditioning units to struggle to keep up with higher than normal humidity levels leading to the feeling that your AC isn’t working as effectively.

The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor environmental quality which state that buildings must be maintained to prevent dampness and mold growth to ensure occupant health. According to the Building Code of Dubai (BCD), it is essential to maintain a dry environment, especially in areas susceptible to moisture such as basements or corners prone to dampness.

If you notice persistent coughing and sneezing in your kids after being indoors for extended periods, it might be wise to consider getting an indoor air quality inspection. This can help identify the source of the problem and provide recommendations on how to improve your home environment. At Saniservice, we offer professional environmental inspections and remediation services that comply with UAE standards.
