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 indoor air quality causing my children's illnesses?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new flat a couple of months ago, I’ve noticed an unpleasant odor lingering in the living room after closing the windows at night. The area near the air conditioner seems particularly affected. My children have been complaining of coughing fits lately and seem to get sick more often than before. Could this be related to the indoor air quality?

Yes, indoor air quality could very well be the culprit behind your children's recent illnesses. The symptoms you've described, like coughing fits and increased sickness, are common signs that poor air quality might be affecting their health.

In Dubai and the UAE, we're often dealing with high temperatures and humidity levels, which can lead to mold growth in buildings. Mold spores can thrive in damp areas such as near air conditioners or where condensation forms on walls. This could explain why you've noticed an unpleasant odor particularly in that area of your living room.

Furthermore, the UAE has its own set of regulations regarding indoor air quality. The Ministry of Community Development and Labor (MCPL) in Dubai sets standards for acceptable levels of pollutants such as carbon dioxide, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and particulate matter. These standards are meant to ensure a healthy environment for residents.

Given your symptoms, it would be wise to have your home inspected by professionals who specialize in indoor air quality in the UAE. They can conduct thorough tests to identify any potential issues such as mold, asbestos, or other contaminants. If you're looking for help, feel free to contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. Our team is here to assist and can provide a comprehensive report on the air quality in your home.

Until then, there are some steps you can take to improve indoor air quality yourself. Ensure that all areas of your flat, especially the one near the air conditioner, are well-ventilated during daytime hours when it's cooler outside. Regularly cleaning filters and maintaining your HVAC system will also help reduce airborne contaminants. And don’t forget to check for visible signs of moisture or mold.

Remember, keeping a close eye on indoor air quality in Dubai is crucial due to our climate conditions and building materials used. Your health and that of your children's should be the top priority, so taking proactive measures now can make a big difference.
