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 causing our health issues?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running non-stop lately, but the air feels unusually stagnant and heavy. Over the past few days, my throat has been sore and itchy, especially when I’m home, and my daughter has complained of a persistent cough that sounds like she’s breathing in dust or something. Could this be related to the quality of the air inside our unit? What should we do to clean up the air better?

Yes, the symptoms you're experiencing could well be linked to poor indoor air quality. In dubai and uae, it's common for high temperatures and humidity levels to increase the likelihood of mold growth and dust accumulation which can severely affect respiratory health.

The continuous operation of your AC unit but still feeling a heavy air can suggest that the system might not be efficiently filtering or circulating the air. Also, the sore throat, itchiness in throat, and persistent coughing could all indicate an issue with the air quality inside your apartment.

Firstly, i would recommend getting a professional indoor air quality assessment done. In dubai, services like "saniservice" are available to conduct detailed tests for mold, bacteria, dust mites, and other allergens that may be contributing to these issues. Their contact details are 800-MOLDS or you can email hello@saniservice.com.

In the meantime, here are some steps you can take to improve air quality:

1. Increase ventilation: Open windows whenever possible to allow fresh air in. If outdoor pollution is high, consider using a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter.

2. Clean your AC system: Ensure your air conditioning units and filters are regularly cleaned or replaced according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. In dubai, where dust levels can be high, it's recommended to clean or replace filters every 3-6 months.

3. Use dehumidifiers: High humidity levels can promote mold growth. A dehumidifier can help reduce moisture in the air and lower the risk of mold.

4. Dust regularly: Dust accumulates on surfaces and can be stirred up into the air when you move around, causing irritation. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth or vacuum cleaner that has a HEPA filter will help.

5. Keep indoor plants: Certain indoor plants like snake plants, spider plants, and peace lilies are known to improve air quality by absorbing toxins from the air.

6. Avoid smoking indoors: Smoking not only produces harmful chemicals but also ash and tar which can irritate your respiratory system.

Remember that while these steps may help in managing indoor air quality, a professional inspection could provide you with more specific advice tailored to your apartment's conditions. Don't hesitate to reach out for assistance if the situation doesn’t improve.
