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 air quality causing my kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running non-stop these days, but there's still a noticeable odor that lingers even after we turn it on. It started a few weeks ago after the air ducts were cleaned as part of our routine maintenance. My kids have been coughing more than usual and I’m worried it might be due to the indoor air quality. Has anyone else experienced similar issues or have any suggestions for improving air circulation and reducing allergens in the space?

Yeah, it's pretty common for indoor air quality issues to cause coughing and other respiratory symptoms, especially among kids. In dubai, the weather can be quite harsh during certain times of the year, leading to high humidity levels or dryness which could irritate your kid's lungs or throat. The odour you're experiencing after the duct cleaning might be a result of allergens being stirred up and circulating through the system.

Firstly, it’s important to assess the air quality in your home. You should consider having an inspection done by a professional like us at Saniservice. We can provide a detailed report on the current state of your indoor environment and suggest necessary improvements. Our services include checking for mold, dust mites, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and other allergens that could be causing these symptoms.

To improve air circulation, you might want to consider using an air purifier with HEPA filters. These can help capture particles as small as 0.3 microns, which are often responsible for triggering allergies or asthma in children. Make sure the unit has a high CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) rating to ensure it effectively cleans your space.

Ventilation is another key factor. Opening windows when weather permits and using exhaust fans can help reduce indoor pollutants by bringing in fresh air from outside. However, with dubai’s climate, you might not always have the luxury of open windows due to heat or humidity levels.

Regularly cleaning and maintaining your HVAC system is crucial too. Even though you've had the ducts cleaned recently, it's wise to ensure that filters are changed as per manufacturer recommendations and that all components are functioning correctly. This will prevent dust and other contaminants from recirculating in your home’s air.

Lastly, addressing humidity levels can make a big difference. Using dehumidifiers or air conditioners set at 50-60% relative humidity can help reduce the growth of mold and dust mites. Keeping indoor plants away from windowsills where they might get damp is also wise.

If you're still experiencing issues after making these adjustments, it's best to seek professional advice. Our team here at Saniservice can offer a thorough evaluation and tailor solutions that fit your specific needs in dubai.
