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 report dampness to landlord?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness coming from the corner of my bedroom. The AC in my apartment seems to struggle with humidity, and now that we’ve been dealing with this since the beginning of summer, my kids have started coughing more often. Do I need to bring this up with the landlord or is it something they should be handling?

Absolutely, it's crucial to address the dampness issue promptly. Persistent dampness can lead to mold growth, which is highly prevalent in the UAE during the summer months. In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, high humidity levels are common, especially after rainy spells or even a period with higher than usual humidity. This environment creates perfect conditions for moisture-related issues.

Firstly, you should definitely bring this up with your landlord. According to the UAE Building Code (UAE-BC), which is enforced by the Department of Municipal Affairs and Services (DMAS) in Dubai, landlords are responsible for ensuring the property’s structural integrity, including proper ventilation systems that can help manage humidity levels effectively.

The dampness you're noticing could be a sign of poor construction or maintenance. In your case, the AC system seems to struggle with managing moisture, which might indicate issues like improper insulation, leaks, or inadequate drainage systems in and around the apartment. If left unaddressed, this could lead to more serious problems such as structural damage, increased energy costs due to inefficient cooling, and health concerns for you and your family.

Given that your children are experiencing coughing episodes, it would be wise to have a professional inspection carried out. Saniservice, located in Dubai, offers comprehensive indoor air quality assessments which can help identify the root cause of the moisture problem. Their services include mold testing, humidity monitoring, and providing recommendations for remediation.

In the meantime, you could try some basic steps to mitigate the dampness. Ensure that your AC system is serviced regularly and consider using dehumidifiers in affected areas. Also, keep an eye on the indoor humidity levels; it’s generally recommended not to exceed 60% for comfort and health purposes. Ventilating rooms well by opening windows or using exhaust fans can also help reduce moisture.

If you decide to proceed with a professional assessment, please don’t hesitate to contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for further guidance. Remember, addressing these issues early not only improves your living environment but also prevents potential long-term costs and health risks.

Do take care of this matter as soon as possible.
