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.

Is poor indoor air quality making us sick?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running non-stop lately, but the air still feels stuffy and heavy. My son has been complaining of a persistent dry cough, and my wife has had a runny nose and itchy eyes for days now. Could this be related to the indoor air quality? What can we do to improve it?

It sounds like the indoor air quality in your apartment might be playing a role in your family's discomfort. Persistent coughs and respiratory issues for your son, as well as nasal irritation and itchy eyes for your wife could indeed be linked to poor air quality. In Dubai, we often face challenges with high humidity levels due to our climate and the use of air conditioning which can lead to moisture build-up and create an environment where mold and other allergens thrive.

The UAE has strict building codes aimed at ensuring good indoor air quality (IAQ), but these standards are only effective if maintained properly. The fact that your AC is running non-stop suggests it may not be efficiently cooling the space, which can lead to a stuffy feeling and poor ventilation – both key factors in IAQ.

Given the symptoms you're experiencing, I would recommend having an indoor air quality inspection done by professionals like those at Saniservice. They are well-versed in assessing Dubai environments for common issues that could be causing your discomfort such as mold, dust mites, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and even formaldehyde from furniture or building materials.

To temporarily alleviate the situation until you can arrange a professional inspection:

1. Increase ventilation: If possible, open windows when outdoor air quality is good to allow fresh air into your apartment.
2. Use dehumidifiers: These devices are especially helpful in combating moisture-related issues and reducing mold growth.
3. Clean regularly: Dust and vacuum frequently to reduce allergens like dust mites that can trigger coughs and other respiratory symptoms.
4. Check for leaks or dampness: These could be signs of a more serious issue needing attention.

Remember, while these steps might offer some relief, they're not a substitute for professional advice. If your family's condition worsens, it’s important to seek medical attention promptly.
