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 cleaning causing my cough and sneezing?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms last month, I've noticed a persistent cough and sneezing whenever we clean the living room. The air feels particularly thick and itchy, especially when we use the vacuum cleaner. Could this be due to some kind of cleaning products or allergens? What steps should I take to address this issue?

Cleaning could indeed be triggering your cough and sneezing. It's not uncommon to experience these symptoms during thorough cleaning sessions, especially after heavy dust storms in the UAE like the one you mentioned last month. The thick and itchy air suggests that allergens or irritants might be present, possibly from dust, pollen, or even certain cleaning products.

In Dubai, we often see high levels of particulate matter and other airborne pollutants due to sandstorms and construction activities. These can exacerbate respiratory issues when combined with the use of cleaning equipment like vacuum cleaners. The rapid movement of air during vacuuming can stir up these particles into your breathing zone, leading to irritation and potentially triggering allergies.

To address this issue, I would recommend a few steps:

1. Dust before Vacuuming: Clear out visible dust from surfaces before starting the cleaning process. This helps reduce the amount of airborne particles that the vacuum cleaner will pull into circulation.
2. Use HEPA Filters: Ensure your vacuum cleaner has a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter, which can capture 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust mites and pollen. In Dubai, this is especially important due to the high particulate levels.
3. Ventilation: Open windows when possible during cleaning to improve air circulation and reduce indoor pollutants. However, be cautious of outdoor pollution, particularly if you're dealing with heavy storms or construction activities.
4. Choose Gentle Cleaning Products: Opt for eco-friendly or low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) products that are less likely to irritate your respiratory system.

For more serious cases, it might be wise to consult a professional environmental inspection company in Dubai. They can assess the indoor air quality and provide tailored advice on cleaning practices and product recommendations suited for the local environment. If you're looking for help, feel free to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, especially during periods of high outdoor pollution. By taking proactive steps like those mentioned above, you can significantly reduce your exposure to irritants and improve your comfort levels while cleaning.
