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 high humidity cause throat issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell in the basement of our new villa. The humidity seemed particularly high, even though the dehumidifier was running constantly. My kids have been complaining about their throats feeling sore and have had more coughing fits than usual lately. Is there something specific we should check or a professional we should contact to address this issue?

High humidity levels can indeed trigger respiratory issues and throat discomfort. The damp smell you're noticing and the sore throats your kids are experiencing could be signs of excess moisture in your new villa's basement. In the UAE, especially Dubai, where we experience extreme temperatures and humidity during certain seasons, it’s important to keep a close eye on indoor air quality.

In particular, high humidity levels can encourage the growth of mold, which is notorious for causing throat irritation, coughing, and other respiratory symptoms. The persistent damp smell coupled with your children's complaints suggest that there might be an underlying moisture issue in your basement that requires attention.

Firstly, I recommend you check the dehumidifier's efficiency and ensure it’s set to a level appropriate for your villa's size. If the unit is running but still struggling to control humidity, it may need servicing or replacement. Also, look into any visible signs of moisture like condensation on walls or floors.

Another step would be inspecting for any potential sources of water leaks in plumbing or around windows and doors. Addressing these can significantly reduce indoor humidity levels. Additionally, ensure there’s proper ventilation to help remove excess moisture from the air.

If you find that despite your efforts, the issue persists, it might be wise to call a professional environmental inspection company like Saniservice. They are well-versed in dealing with such cases and can provide expert advice on how to tackle humidity issues effectively. Their services could include conducting a thorough inspection of your villa’s structure and recommending remediation strategies.

Remember, in Dubai, where we experience high humidity especially during summer months, it's crucial to maintain indoor air quality for the health and comfort of everyone living in the home. Don't hesitate to take proactive steps or seek professional help if you're concerned about the well-being of your family.
