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 lingering smell in living room normal after cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy cleaning they did at our hotel suite a few weeks ago, I’ve been noticing that every time we return from a day out with the family, there’s an odd smell lingering in the living room. It’s not overpowering but definitely noticeable and it makes me worried about my kids breathing it in. Given how much time we spend in this area, especially after a long day out, is it normal to still detect this smell?

Is lingering smell in living room normal after cleaning?

It's understandable to be concerned about the odd smell you're noticing after your hotel suite has been cleaned. In Dubai and the UAE, it is somewhat common for a minor odor to persist for a short time after thorough cleaning due to the use of certain chemicals or natural drying processes.

However, this doesn't mean that every lingering smell is normal. The type of products used in hotels can vary widely - from disinfectants to air fresheners. In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, it's important to ensure that these substances are not harmful to residents' health. Local regulations such as those set by the Department of Economic Development (DED) require establishments like hotels to maintain a safe indoor environment for guests.

If you're worried about your kids breathing in any potential irritants, it would be wise to have an inspection done. A professional from Saniservice can help identify if there's a serious issue and recommend appropriate actions.

For now, ensure the area is well-ventilated by opening windows or using fans to air out the space. This can sometimes help dissipate any remaining odors quickly.

If the smell persists for more than a few days or becomes stronger, it’s recommended that you contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection. They can conduct a thorough assessment and provide guidance on how best to address any issues.

Remember, while the smell might not be immediately harmful, ensuring a healthy indoor environment is crucial, especially for families with young children. Stay proactive about your family's health and well-being in Dubai!
