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 handle kitchen dampness myself?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my kitchen, especially around the corner near the sink. The air feels heavy and not as fresh as it should be, even with the fan running. My family has been complaining of headaches and congestion lately, which makes me think there might be an issue with the indoor air quality. Do you think I can handle this myself or would it be better to hire a professional?

Handling kitchen dampness yourself can be challenging, and it's important to consider the potential impacts on indoor air quality. The persistent dampness you've noticed near your sink could indicate a moisture issue that may need professional attention.

In Dubai/UAE, humidity levels are generally high due to the climate, making kitchens particularly susceptible to condensation and mold growth. Mold thrives in moist environments and can produce spores that contribute to poor indoor air quality (IAQ). According to UAE environmental standards, IAQ should be maintained at a level that is safe for occupants' health.

Given your symptoms—headaches and congestion—it's quite possible that the dampness could be affecting your family. These are common complaints associated with mold exposure. The UAE has strict building codes regarding moisture control and indoor air quality, but these regulations might not always prevent issues in existing buildings, especially those with poor ventilation or recent water damage.

While you can take some initial steps to address the dampness, such as using a dehumidifier, ensuring good ventilation, and cleaning any visible mold, it's advisable to consult professionals who have experience dealing with moisture issues. They can perform a thorough inspection, identify the source of the dampness, and recommend appropriate remediation measures.

Remember that ignoring these signs could lead to more serious health problems for you and your family. It’s better to be proactive about addressing IAQ in your home.

If you decide to proceed without immediate professional help, keep an eye on any new or worsening symptoms among household members. If the situation persists or worsens, contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a free consultation and inspection.

Take care of your home’s health; it's an investment in your family's well-being!
