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 other indoor factors cause our coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I've noticed a persistent dry cough in both of my children when they come home from school. The cough is more noticeable in our living room where we spend most of our time. Given that we have an air purifier running 24/7 and still experience this issue, could there be other factors contributing to the indoor air quality here in Dubai?

Indoor air quality can indeed play a significant role in our health. The persistent dry cough experienced by your children after the dust storm could be linked to various factors beyond just the dust, particularly given that you are already using an air purifier. Here are some other indoor factors to consider:

First off, humidity levels are critical in Dubai's climate. High humidity can lead to mold growth and increase dust mite populations, both of which might contribute to respiratory issues. Mold thrives in damp conditions and can be a significant allergen, especially for children with sensitive airways.

Secondly, the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from furniture, paints, or cleaning products could also irritate your children's lungs. In Dubai, where new buildings are common, these chemicals might off-gas into the air, leading to discomfort.

Furthermore, pet dander and fur can be significant allergens in homes with pets. If you have any furry friends at home, they might contribute to your kids' coughs even after cleaning up visible dust.

Ventilation is also a key factor. Despite running an air purifier 24/7, stagnant indoor air without sufficient fresh air exchange could still lead to poor indoor air quality over time. In Dubai's climate, it can be challenging to maintain optimal ventilation due to the high outdoor temperatures and humidity during certain months. However, you might try using exhaust fans or opening windows (when weather permits) for short periods to help circulate air.

Lastly, check if any building materials in your home release harmful substances like asbestos or radon. Although less common, these can be significant contributors to indoor air quality issues.

Given the complexity of these factors and the persistent nature of your children's coughs, I highly recommend having a professional inspection by an environmental specialist familiar with UAE regulations. Such inspections can identify specific allergens, pollutants, or other sources of poor indoor air quality that might not be immediately apparent.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an expert assessment and actionable recommendations tailored to your home's unique conditions. Remember, addressing these issues promptly can help alleviate the coughs and improve overall health in your family.
