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 poor air quality affecting my kids' health?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running non-stop these days, but the air still feels stuffy and heavy. I’ve noticed a musty smell in the bedroom where my kids sleep, especially during the evening when we turn on the fan. It’s really worrying because they have been coughing more frequently lately. Is there something I can do to improve the indoor air quality here?

Yes, poor air quality can absolutely affect your kids' health. In Dubai and the UAE, we are often dealing with high temperatures and humidity levels which can make it harder for AC systems to maintain a consistent indoor climate. This might explain why you're noticing that your AC is running non-stop but still feeling stuffy in your apartment.

The musty smell and increased coughing among your children could be due to several factors, including mold growth. Mold thrives in damp environments, which can occur when the humidity levels are too high or when there's a leak somewhere in your home. This is particularly concerning during the evening as the temperature drops and moisture condenses on cooler surfaces.

To start addressing this issue, I would recommend taking some immediate steps:

1. Increase ventilation: Even if it’s hot outside, try to open windows for short periods to allow fresh air to circulate when possible.
2. Check your AC system: Ensure that your air conditioning is functioning properly and consider having a professional check the filters and overall condition of your unit. Dirty or clogged filters can reduce airflow and increase moisture in the air.
3. Monitor humidity levels: Use a hygrometer to keep track of the humidity inside your home. In Dubai, it’s generally recommended that indoor relative humidity should be kept below 60% for optimal comfort and to prevent mold growth.

However, given the serious nature of potential health impacts on your children, I strongly advise scheduling an inspection with a professional environmental service provider in the UAE, such as calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com. These experts can perform a thorough evaluation and identify any underlying issues that need to be addressed.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for everyone’s health, especially children. It's not just about feeling comfortable; it's about safeguarding your family's well-being.
