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 the smoke affecting my family's health?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy smoke from the recent fire at the nearby construction site settled, I’ve noticed a lingering acrid smell in my apartment’s living room. My son has also been complaining of a persistent cough and runny nose. Given our location right by the building, could this be due to poor air quality inside? What should I do to improve the air for my family?

The smoke from the construction site near your apartment can indeed be affecting the air quality and potentially impacting the health of you and your family. The UAE doesn't have a specific regulation directly addressing indoor air quality post-construction site incidents, but guidelines exist for occupational safety which could apply to residential settings.

Given that you've noticed a lingering acrid smell and your son is experiencing symptoms like persistent coughing and a runny nose, it’s important to assess the situation. The presence of smoke can contain harmful particulate matter and chemicals, which might irritate the respiratory system leading to those symptoms.

Firstly, I would recommend opening windows for ventilation if weather permits, but be cautious during smoky periods as this could worsen indoor air quality. Utilizing an air purifier with a HEPA filter can significantly help in trapping smoke particles and other pollutants.

It’s also advisable to monitor the situation closely and consider professional air quality testing. Saniservice, the local company I work for, provides comprehensive indoor environmental assessments that can pinpoint any issues related to particulates or gases. Their expertise aligns well with UAE standards and practices.

If you decide to proceed with a test, please call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation. They can provide detailed reports and recommendations tailored specifically for your situation.

In the meantime, ensure family members stay hydrated and avoid strenuous activities indoors to minimize exposure. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical advice promptly. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for health, especially in environments like Dubai where external factors such as construction smoke can significantly impact it.

Take care of yourself and your family during this time.
