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 poor indoor air quality making my kids sick?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be cycling on and off more frequently than usual, and there's a constant stale smell in the air. My kids have been complaining of itchy eyes and runny noses, especially after being cooped up inside for most of the day. I'm worried about their health and whether this is due to poor indoor air quality or something else entirely. Could this be a sign of mold growth or just dusty filters needing replacement?

Indoor air quality can indeed affect your family's health, especially the kids. The symptoms you're describing like itchy eyes and runny noses are common complaints associated with poor IAQ (indoor air quality). In dubai and uae, we often experience high humidity levels during certain months which can contribute to stagnant air and an increase in dust particles.

The frequency of your AC cycling on and off more than usual could be due to a few factors. First, it might just mean that the filters are dirty or need replacing. Dirty filters can restrict airflow making the system work harder and potentially causing it to cycle more often. This is especially common during winter months when we tend to keep our aircon running more frequently.

However, if your unit's operation seems abnormal, or you're still noticing issues after changing the filters, there could be other problems at play. Stale smells in the air might indicate mold growth which is a common issue here due to the climate and high humidity levels. Mold not only affects air quality but can also cause respiratory issues especially among children.

To get a better understanding of what’s happening in your apartment, I recommend scheduling an inspection with a professional service like Saniservice. They are well-versed in UAE regulations regarding indoor air quality and will be able to diagnose the issue accurately. You can call them on 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information.

In the meantime, here are a few tips you can try:
1. Increase ventilation by opening windows when possible.
2. Use dehumidifiers to reduce moisture in the air which can prevent mold growth.
3. Ensure your AC system is serviced regularly to keep it running efficiently.
4. Keep an eye on indoor plants as they can sometimes lead to higher humidity levels.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality isn't just about keeping the air clean; it’s also about creating a healthy environment for you and your family in dubai's unique climate.
