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 circulation causing my kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a damp smell lingering in my children’s bedroom. The area near the window seemed particularly humid, even though we always keep the AC on high during the day. Given that they’ve been coughing more frequently lately, I’m really worried about indoor air quality and its impact on their health. Could anyone share tips or suggestions for improving air circulation in such a spot?

Is poor circulation causing my kids' coughs? It's quite likely. The damp smell and increased humidity near the window suggest that there might be an issue with moisture levels inside your home, which can indeed affect indoor air quality (IAQ) significantly.

In Dubai, high humidity often results from rain or condensation, especially in areas prone to moisture ingress like windows or corners of rooms. Keeping the AC on high can only do so much if the root cause isn't addressed. In your case, it’s important to ensure that there are no hidden leaks or issues with the building envelope.

Firstly, I’d advise you to look for any obvious signs of water damage such as discolored walls, damp patches, or mold growth. Mold can thrive in humid conditions and is a common allergen that could be triggering your kids' coughs.

In Dubai, it's crucial to follow local regulations regarding IAQ. According to the UAE’s Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHP), maintaining proper indoor air quality involves addressing moisture issues promptly. The MoHP recommends regular checks for mold growth and ensuring adequate ventilation in all homes.

To improve air circulation:
1. Install a dehumidifier, especially in high-risk areas like your children's bedroom.
2. Ensure the AC system is functioning optimally and consider adding an exhaust fan to remove excess moisture from humid areas.
3. Open windows when possible but ensure you do it during times of low humidity or after rain has stopped to avoid letting in more moisture.

If the problem persists, I recommend scheduling a professional inspection with Saniservice. Our team can assess your home for hidden leaks and provide solutions tailored to Dubai’s climate. You can reach us by calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, addressing IAQ is not just about feeling better but also ensuring the long-term health of your family in a humid environment like Dubai.
