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.

Could AC Cause My Kids' Symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running more than usual lately, even when it’s not that hot outside. My son has had a persistent cough for the past few days, and my daughter complains of a runny nose every morning. I’m worried about mold or other allergens building up because of how much we rely on the AC during these humid months. Could this be causing their symptoms, and what can I do to improve the air quality in our home?

Could AC Cause My Kids' Symptoms?

Absolutely! The air quality within your home can significantly impact the health of your children. In Dubai and the UAE, we experience high humidity levels during certain months, which can lead to an increase in indoor allergens like mold and dust mites. Your air conditioning (AC) unit could be running more frequently due to these conditions and might not be effectively filtering out pollutants.

Firstly, let's consider if the AC is the main culprit. HVAC systems should ideally filter out particles as small as 1 micron, but over time, filters can become clogged with dust, mold spores, or other allergens. This could lead to poor air quality and exacerbate respiratory issues for your kids.

Here are a few steps you might take:

1. Clean Filters: Check if the AC filters need cleaning or replacing. Ensure they're free of debris that could be circulating in the air.
2. Ventilation: Improve indoor ventilation by opening windows (if safe to do so) and using exhaust fans. This can help reduce humidity levels, which often accompany mold growth.
3. Humidity Control: Use a dehumidifier if you notice high moisture levels. Aim for a relative humidity level of 40-50% in your home.

If these steps don’t alleviate the symptoms or if you suspect more serious issues, it might be wise to have an inspection done by professionals. They can identify any mold growth and ensure that all aspects of your HVAC system are functioning optimally.

In Dubai, we often see cases where AC units need maintenance due to frequent use in humid conditions. A professional inspection could pinpoint the exact cause of your children's symptoms and recommend specific actions to improve their health. For instance, Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) has extensive experience dealing with indoor environmental issues and can provide tailored solutions.

Remember, maintaining good air quality is crucial for everyone’s wellbeing in our climate. Taking proactive steps like those suggested above could make a significant difference to your family's health.

Hope this helps!
