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.

Should I worry about odor and coughing after heat wave?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense heat wave last month, I noticed a strange, lingering odor in the living room. Despite cleaning everything thoroughly, the smell persists, especially when the air conditioning is on. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits lately too, which has me worried. Can I handle this issue myself, or do I need to call an expert?

Absolutely understand your concerns. In the scorching heat of Dubai, it's easy to get caught up with just cooling down and neglect other aspects like indoor air quality. The lingering odor and coughing fits are definitely cause for worry.

First off, let’s talk about what might be causing these issues. High humidity levels post-heatwave can promote mold growth which could explain both the smell and respiratory symptoms. Mold spores thrive in damp environments and can spread quickly through ventilation systems or air conditioning units. However, it's not just mold; dust mites, pet dander, or even chemicals from cleaning products might also be contributing to your family's discomfort.

Given the specific conditions here in Dubai, it is important to consider the local regulations which require regular checks on indoor air quality, especially after significant weather changes. The UAE has several guidelines and standards for building maintenance that can help ensure a healthier environment.

But how do you proceed? You've already taken steps by cleaning thoroughly, but these might not be enough if there's an underlying problem like mold growth. It would be prudent to call in professionals who specialize in environmental inspections and remediation. Here’s why: they have the right tools and expertise to identify hidden issues that you can't see or smell.

You could give us a call at 800-MOLDS or send an email to hello@saniservice.com, we'd be more than happy to help. Our team will conduct a thorough inspection of your living room and assess if there's any mold or other contaminants causing the problem. We can also provide recommendations on how best to tackle these issues, ensuring that both you and your family stay healthy.

Remember, while DIY solutions might work for minor cleaning tasks, dealing with indoor air quality requires professional attention. Don't wait till it worsens; take action now before it affects your health further.

Take care!
