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 dangerous in my home?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a persistent dusty smell lingering in my son's bedroom. The windows are always closed due to the AC units outside, so I'm concerned about how much dust is building up inside. My daughter has been complaining of a cough that just won't go away. Could this be from poor indoor air quality? What can we do to improve the situation?

Indoor air quality can indeed be a serious concern, especially after an event like the recent dust storm. Persistent dusty smells and coughs suggest that the indoor environment might be affected by increased particulate matter, which is common during such weather conditions.

In Dubai, we are often faced with high levels of dust and pollutants due to our arid climate and frequent sand storms. Regulations in the UAE require buildings to meet certain standards for air quality, but these can vary based on specific guidelines set by local authorities like the Department of Municipalities and Urban Planning (DM&UP). It’s always a good idea to stay informed about any recent updates or changes in indoor air quality regulations that might affect your home.

The dust lingering in your son's bedroom could be causing respiratory issues, particularly for children who are more susceptible to such irritants. Dust contains various allergens and pollutants which can lead to coughs, runny noses, and other upper respiratory symptoms. If you're seeing these kinds of symptoms persist, it’s worth having a professional indoor air quality inspection done. This is especially important if your daughter's cough has not gone away.

To improve the situation, start by regularly cleaning surfaces with microfiber cloths to capture dust effectively. Using HEPA filters in your air conditioning units can also help filter out more allergens and pollutants from the air. Keep windows closed during high dust periods as you have been doing but consider using an indoor air purifier if your AC units are not equipped with advanced filtration systems.

It's crucial to maintain good ventilation when possible, even with the hot climate, to flush out any accumulated dust. However, make sure to check for carbon monoxide and radon levels as well since these can be present in poorly ventilated homes.

Remember that it’s always a wise move to consult professionals like Saniservice who have extensive experience dealing with indoor air quality issues in Dubai. They can provide detailed analysis of your home's air quality, recommend necessary actions, and ensure that you are compliant with local regulations. For more info or assistance, feel free to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.

Taking these steps can help improve the indoor air quality in your home and potentially alleviate some of the discomfort your daughter is experiencing.
