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 cleaning products cause our kids' illnesses?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy cleaning the cleaning staff did last week, I noticed a strange odor lingering in the hallway. It’s not too strong but persistent enough to be noticeable when you walk through it. The smell is kind of like damp carpet, and it really concerns me because our kids have been home sick with coughs lately. Could this be related to how they cleaned or what products they used?

Could cleaning products cause our kids' illnesses? That's a valid concern indeed. In the UAE and particularly in Dubai, there are certain regulations regarding indoor environmental quality that must be adhered to. While the odour you've noticed isn't necessarily linked directly to your kids' health issues, it is worth investigating further.

The smell like damp carpet could point towards off-gassing from cleaning products or moisture build-up which might not only affect air quality but also increase the risk of mold growth. Mold can indeed trigger respiratory issues and allergic reactions in children who already have a weakened immune system due to being sick with coughs.

In Dubai, it's important to ensure that any cleaning agents used meet local standards for safety and effectiveness. The UAE Ministry of Community Development has set guidelines on the use of chemicals which must be followed by professional cleaners. However, if you're unsure about what was used or how it might have been handled, a professional inspection could provide clarity.

I'd recommend reaching out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com for a thorough assessment of the situation. They can conduct air quality tests and check for any potential sources of mold or other pollutants that might be affecting your family's health.

In the meantime, ensure good ventilation in your home by opening windows when possible, use HEPA filters in your HVAC system, and maintain proper moisture control to prevent further issues. Also, keep an eye on your kids' symptoms and consult a doctor if their condition worsens or doesn't improve with time.

Remember, it's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to your family’s health.
