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 stale air from construction harming my family?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy smoke from the nearby construction site settled a few days ago, I’ve noticed a lingering smell in my living room. The air feels stale and thick, even with the fan running constantly. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately, and it’s worrying me. How urgent is this issue, and what can I do to improve the indoor air quality right away?

Indoor air quality can indeed be affected by nearby construction activities, especially during and right after the smoke settles. The lingering smell, coughing from your kids, and stale feeling are clear signs that something isn't quite right.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it's not uncommon for building sites to release dust particles, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other pollutants into the air. These can have adverse effects on health, especially on children who are more vulnerable due to their developing immune systems and smaller breathing passages.

The situation you're experiencing is concerning and could potentially impact your family's health. Given that it's been a few days since the smoke cleared but the smell persists, it suggests that there might still be some ongoing issues with air quality.

Firstly, I would recommend you to ensure all windows are closed tightly to prevent further pollutants from entering the house. Using an air purifier can also help as they can remove particles and reduce odors. However, these measures are only temporary solutions and may not be sufficient for long-term relief.

In Dubai, it's advised that after experiencing such conditions, you should consider getting a professional indoor air quality inspection. This will provide a clear picture of the current state of your home’s air and help identify any sources of pollution that need to be addressed. The UAE has no specific laws mandating regular indoor air quality checks, but following best practices can ensure the safety and well-being of you and your family.

You could also look into increasing ventilation by using a dehumidifier or hiring a professional who specializes in indoor air quality management. This might involve HEPA filtration systems that can be installed permanently to keep your home's air cleaner.

If the situation doesn’t improve or if there are any health concerns, you should definitely reach out for assistance. Contacting Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or sending an email to hello@saniservice.com could provide expert advice and a plan of action.

Remember that addressing these issues promptly can help prevent health problems and ensure your home remains a safe haven for you and your family.
