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 I check indoor humidity myself?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a damp smell lingering in my bedroom closet, even though I keep it well aired out. The humidity seems to be higher than usual this year, and it’s making me concerned about mold developing behind the walls. Should I consider hiring professionals for an indoor humidity check-up, or is there something more straightforward I can do myself?

Absolutely, checking indoor humidity yourself is a great first step. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, where we experience varying levels of humidity throughout the year, keeping an eye on moisture levels can help prevent issues like mold growth and structural damage.

Firstly, it's wise to understand that the ideal relative humidity (RH) level for your home should be between 30-50%. Higher humidity levels, as you've noticed with the damp smell in your bedroom closet, could indicate a potential problem. In Dubai, we often face higher humidity due to our climate and geographical location; however, it's crucial to ensure that indoor environments are not excessively moist.

To start, you can purchase a hygrometer - an inexpensive device available at most hardware stores or online platforms like Souq or Amazon. Place the hygrometer in various areas of your home, including your closet, kitchen, and bathrooms where moisture is more likely to accumulate. Take readings during different times of day and seasons to get a clear picture of what's normal for your space.

If you find that your humidity levels are consistently above 60%, it might be time to consider professional help. Higher than recommended RH can create the perfect environment for mold growth, which can pose health risks especially in close spaces like closets or bedrooms where air circulation may not be optimal.

For a more thorough inspection, we recommend contacting professionals such as those from Saniservice. They offer reliable indoor environmental quality checks that include humidity assessments and can provide tailored advice to manage any issues you might face. Their contact details are 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email them at hello@saniservice.com for a consultation.

Remember, regular maintenance like ensuring good ventilation, using dehumidifiers when needed, and addressing any leaks promptly can significantly reduce the risk of moisture-related problems. By staying proactive about indoor humidity, you can help maintain a healthier living environment for yourself and your family.
