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.

Are cleaning chemicals harming my family?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy cleaning done by our new cleaning staff a few days ago, I noticed some strong chemical smells lingering in the living room. My son has been complaining of a headache since they were there last, and my daughter's cough seems to have gotten worse over the past week. We’ve lived here for two years and just noticed this change. Have any other parents experienced similar issues with cleaning chemicals affecting their family?

Absolutely, it is concerning that your family may be experiencing health issues due to the cleaning chemicals used. In Dubai and the UAE, regulations regarding indoor environmental quality are quite stringent but it's crucial to ensure that all cleaning products meet local standards. The strong chemical odours you’ve noticed in the living room could very well be a sign of improper use or residue from harsh cleaning agents.

It is not uncommon for parents to report similar issues following intensive cleaning sessions, especially with new staff. In your case, it might be worth considering if the cleaning products used were appropriate for residential areas and whether they adhered to guidelines set by authorities like the Dubai Municipality.

I would recommend having a professional indoor air quality inspection done as soon as possible. This is particularly important given that you've noticed these issues affecting multiple family members over an extended period, indicating it could be more than just temporary exposure. The professionals at Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) can provide a thorough assessment of the situation and recommend safe and effective cleaning solutions moving forward.

In the meantime, ensure that any further cleaning is done with products specifically labeled for household use and follow their instructions carefully. Ventilation is key—open windows if possible to allow fresh air in and consider using fans. Also, wearing protective gear like masks when around strong chemical smells can help reduce immediate exposure until a more permanent solution is found.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is paramount for the health of your family, especially with young children who are more susceptible to environmental factors. If you continue to experience issues or if symptoms worsen, please seek medical advice as well.

Hope this helps and wishing you and your family good health!
