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 restaurant cleaning causing home coughing issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent round of deep cleaning at the restaurant where we often dine out, I've started noticing a musty smell seeping into our home through the air vents. It's particularly noticeable in the kitchen area, which is right above the entrance to the dining room. My family has been coughing more than usual lately and I’m starting to wonder if this could be related. Has anyone else experienced similar issues with restaurant cleaning affecting their home environment?

Hi there! It sounds like you've run into quite the predicament. Yes, it is possible that the recent cleaning activities at your favorite restaurant could be affecting your home environment and causing those coughing issues. In the UAE, particularly Dubai, we have strict building codes but sometimes external factors can still impact indoor air quality.

When restaurants undergo deep cleanings, they might use strong chemicals or generate dust particles which can travel through ventilation systems and into nearby homes. This is especially common when the kitchen area above your home is being cleaned as it's directly connected to your living space via the air vents. The musty smell you're detecting could be due to residual cleaning agents or mold growth, both of which are not good for health.

Given your symptoms, I'd strongly recommend a professional indoor environmental inspection. Here in Dubai, companies like Saniservice can help by conducting thorough tests and identifying any potential hazards such as mold spores or volatile organic compounds (VOCs). They also offer remediation services to address the issues found during inspections.

In the meantime, you might want to consider sealing off your air vents temporarily if they are connected to the restaurant's area. Using an air purifier with a HEPA filter can help remove particulates and odors from the indoor air. Also, keeping windows closed on windy days or when the cleaning is happening at the restaurant could prevent unwanted particles from entering.

If you decide to take action, don't hesitate to contact Saniservice directly through their phone number 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. They can provide tailored advice and services based on your specific situation.

Remember, your health is paramount! If symptoms persist after taking precautions, it's wise to consult a healthcare professional for further guidance.

Hope this helps,
[Your Name]
