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 seek professional help for high humidity?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains we had last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my living room. Even with the dehumidifier running non-stop, there's still a noticeable mustiness in the air, especially during the cooler evenings. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits, which makes me suspect the humidity levels might be too high for our comfort and health. Do you think I need to seek professional help to manage this, or are there additional steps I can take myself?

Absolutely, the humidity issue you're experiencing sounds quite concerning. Given that Dubai and UAE generally experience relatively low humidity levels throughout the year, persistent dampness can indeed pose health risks especially during cooler evenings. It's wise to seek professional help as soon as possible.

Firstly, let’s discuss what you’ve already done. Running a dehumidifier is a step in the right direction but seems insufficient given that your kids are still experiencing coughing fits and there's noticeable mustiness even with the device on full blast. This could indicate higher-than-normal humidity levels or perhaps other underlying issues.

In Dubai, the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) does not have specific regulations regarding indoor humidity as it’s generally within comfortable limits. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends maintaining relative humidity between 30-60% for optimal health and comfort. Your situation seems to be slightly above this range, making it necessary to address.

Given your concerns, I strongly recommend getting a professional inspection. Saniservice can help with this – they are local experts in environmental quality and remediation. They will conduct an assessment of the moisture levels, identify any potential sources of water intrusion, and provide a detailed report along with recommendations for mitigation.

Here’s what to expect from such an inspection:
1. Moisture Detection: They’ll use specialized equipment like thermometers and hygrometers to measure humidity levels in different areas of your home.
2. Source Identification: They will look for any leaks or sources of water that might be contributing to the high moisture content, especially after the recent rains.
3. Recommendations: Based on their findings, they’ll suggest appropriate actions like improving ventilation, installing dehumidifiers in strategic locations, or addressing structural issues.

While you wait for professional help, here are some additional steps you can take:
• Increase Ventilation: Open windows during cooler times of the day to allow fresh air into your home.
• Use Desiccant Packs: These can be placed in areas prone to moisture to absorb excess humidity.
• Check For Leaks: Inspect your roof, walls, and any pipes for signs of water damage.

Remember, prolonged exposure to high humidity levels can lead to mold growth which is particularly harmful to respiratory health. Don’t wait; act now to ensure a healthier living environment for you and your family.
