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.

Should dampness affect indoor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness in my bedroom, especially during the nights. The AC in my apartment seems to run overtime trying to dry out the air, but it doesn't seem to help much. My kids have been coughing more frequently lately and I’m worried it might be due to the indoor air quality here. Is there anything specific I should look into or address with the landlord regarding this issue?

Absolutely dampness can have a significant impact on indoor air quality. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we often experience periods of high humidity due to our climate and occasional rain events. When your bedroom feels unusually damp, it's important to consider its effects on you and especially your kids.

In the UAE, indoor environments are required to meet certain health standards as per the Building Code 2016 and other local regulations which emphasize good ventilation and moisture control. These guidelines help ensure that indoor air is free from contaminants and harmful elements such as mold, which can thrive in damp conditions.

The dampness you've noticed may be due to several reasons, including poor ventilation, inadequate drainage outside the apartment, or even a leaking pipe within your unit. As the AC struggles to keep up with drying out the air, moisture could be leading to an increase of humidity levels, potentially creating an environment ripe for mold growth.

Mold can cause a range of health issues, especially in children and those who are already prone to respiratory problems. Symptoms like coughing, sneezing, runny nose, and even asthma attacks have been linked to mold exposure. Given the situation you've described with your kids' frequent coughs, it's essential to address this issue promptly.

I recommend you take several steps:

1. Check for obvious sources of moisture such as leaks or plumbing issues.
2. Ensure proper ventilation in the bedroom by opening windows when safe and using exhaust fans.
3. Use a dehumidifier if your AC isn’t sufficient to control humidity levels.
4. Clean any visible mold with appropriate solutions, but be cautious not to inhale spores.

However, for comprehensive testing and professional advice, I suggest contacting a certified environmental inspector or hygienist who can conduct thorough indoor air quality tests in accordance with local standards. At Saniservice, we offer services like this and can help ensure your living space is safe and healthy.

If you decide to contact us, our number is 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or you could email hello@saniservice.com for further assistance. Don't delay addressing the issue as it may worsen over time, affecting not only your family's health but also potentially causing structural damage to the property.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial in an environment like Dubai where humidity can be a constant challenge.
