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 and coughs mean a pro is needed?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in our bedroom that doesn't seem to go away even with the dehumidifier running. The walls feel slightly moist, especially at night when it's cooler. My daughter has been complaining of coughing fits, and my husband seems to have an increased stuffy nose. Can anyone advise if this is something we can handle ourselves or if we need a professional air quality expert?

Absolutely, dampness and coughs can be serious signs that point towards a potential indoor air quality issue. In Dubai/UAE, humidity levels can be quite high, especially after heavy rains like the ones you've had. This can lead to moisture accumulation in your bedroom, which is causing not only an unpleasant feeling but also health concerns for your family.

Firstly, it’s important to understand that the UAE, including Dubai, has specific building and environmental codes aimed at ensuring good indoor air quality (IAQ). These regulations are designed to protect residents from issues like mold growth, which can exacerbate respiratory problems. If you've noticed persistent dampness and symptoms in your family members, it's wise to consider a professional inspection.

A dehumidifier might help temporarily but may not address the root cause of the moisture problem. In Dubai, humidity levels exceeding 60% can lead to mold growth on walls and other surfaces, which is exactly what you're experiencing. Mold can trigger coughing fits in children and stuffy noses in adults, so it's crucial to deal with this issue effectively.

Here are a few steps you could take before calling in the professionals:

1. Check for leaks: Inspect your roof, windows, and walls for any signs of water damage or leakage.
2. Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation in your bedroom, particularly if there’s high humidity.
3. Drying out surfaces: Use fans to circulate air around damp areas and help dry them out.

However, if these steps don’t resolve the issue, it's highly recommended to contact a professional environmental inspection company. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can conduct thorough inspections for moisture sources and mold. They'll use equipment such as thermal imaging cameras and hygrometers to identify hidden moisture issues that you might not see.

Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com to book an inspection today. Early intervention can prevent more serious health problems for your family, as well as costly structural damage from prolonged water exposure. Don't let this issue linger—it's better to address it head-on.

Remember, in the UAE, our climate and building conditions are unique, so local expertise is key when dealing with indoor air quality issues.
