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 moisture from AC causing kids' allergies?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a damp smell lingering in my bedroom, especially at night. The AC in our apartment seemed to be circulating more moisture than usual, and now both of my kids have started coughing and sneezing frequently. Is there anything specific I should check or improve to ensure better indoor air quality for them?

Is moisture from AC causing kids' allergies?

It sounds like the symptoms your children are experiencing may be linked to the increased humidity levels caused by your air conditioning system. In Dubai and the UAE, during rainy seasons or even sudden climate changes, it's not uncommon for air conditioners to struggle with managing excess moisture, leading to a damp smell and potential health issues.

Firstly, it's important to check if your AC unit is properly maintained and dehumidifying efficiently. In the UAE, AC systems should be serviced twice annually by professionals who can ensure that the units are functioning optimally. This maintenance includes checking for any blockages in the air filters which could hinder airflow and increase moisture levels.

Additionally, you might want to inspect your home for signs of water damage or leaks, as these can significantly contribute to an increase in humidity. Look out for discoloration on walls or ceilings, mold growth (especially common with dark spots), or musty odors, all of which could indicate a more serious issue requiring immediate attention.

Given the recent heavy rains and your kids' symptoms, I would recommend contacting a professional environmental inspection company such as Saniservice. They can conduct a thorough assessment to identify the source of moisture and provide necessary solutions. Their contact details are 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com - it's wise to get expert advice here.

In the meantime, you could also consider using dehumidifiers in your bedroom to help reduce humidity levels and improve air quality. Opt for a model with a high capacity suitable for the size of your room. Regularly emptying the collection tank or replacing filter pads will keep them working efficiently.

Lastly, ensure good ventilation by opening windows when weather permits (but not during heavy rain) to allow fresh air into the space. This can help in reducing indoor pollutants and moisture levels, thereby improving overall indoor air quality for you and your children.

Remember, maintaining healthy indoor air is crucial, especially with the current climate conditions we are experiencing. Let's work together to keep our homes safe and comfortable!
