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 worry about dampness and indoor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy storms we had last month, I noticed a strange dampness in my bedroom closet. It's been there for about a week now, and it’s making my throat sore and my kids are starting to cough more often. The AC in our apartment seems fine, but I’m not sure if it’s my responsibility or the landlord’s to address this issue. Should I be worried about indoor air quality here, and what should I do next?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about the dampness and indoor air quality. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, humidity can often lead to moisture-related issues, especially after heavy storms. The presence of dampness in your closet for a week is not normal and could indeed pose some health risks.

Firstly, it's important to understand that in such scenarios, you should consider contacting a professional for an inspection. In the UAE, regulations like the Building Code (Federal Decree Law No. 12 of 2009) require proper moisture control measures to be implemented in construction and maintenance. If your building is older or has not been well-maintained, it's likely that such issues could arise.

Given your symptoms—sore throat and increased coughing in your kids—it’s crucial to address the matter promptly. These could potentially be linked to mold spores growing due to the dampness. In Dubai, we often see cases of mold proliferation after rainy spells or flooding events, which can lead to respiratory issues, particularly for those with allergies or asthma.

The first step should be to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional assessment. They can help identify the source of moisture and recommend appropriate solutions such as dehumidifiers, air purifiers, or even structural repairs if necessary.

In the meantime, you could take some immediate actions:
1. Ensure good ventilation in your closet by opening windows (if weather permits) to allow fresh air circulation.
2. Use a hygrometer to monitor humidity levels and keep them below 60% for optimal conditions.
3. Clean areas with dampness using a mixture of water and bleach, followed by thorough drying.

Remember, addressing such issues early can prevent more serious health concerns down the line. By taking these steps, you're not only safeguarding your family's health but also complying with local regulations aimed at maintaining safe indoor environments.

If the situation persists or worsens, do not hesitate to involve your landlord as well. In Dubai, tenant rights are protected under various laws, and landlords have a responsibility to ensure their properties meet safety standards including those related to moisture control and air quality.

Stay proactive and take action today to keep your home environment healthy!
