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.

Are symptoms linked to hotel air quality?« Back to Previous Page

Since moving into our new hotel apartment a few months ago, we’ve been experiencing some pretty weird and worrying symptoms—my throat has been really sore and my husband’s had a persistent cough. The air feels heavy and almost stale, especially after they clean the rooms. Have anyone else noticed similar issues in their Dubai hotels? Is there anything specific I should look out for or suggest to our management regarding the cleaning process?

Yeah, it is possible that your symptoms could be linked to the air quality within your hotel apartment. In Dubai and the UAE, hotels are required to adhere to certain environmental standards set by the government. However, issues can still arise due to factors like poor cleaning practices or inadequate ventilation.

When they clean the rooms, chemicals used in cleaning agents can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air. These VOCs can irritate the throat and respiratory system causing coughing and soreness. Also, if the room isn’t properly ventilated post-cleaning, these fumes could linger making it hard to breathe easily.

In Dubai, there's no specific regulation that requires hotels to test for indoor air quality regularly, but it is recommended by many industry experts to ensure a healthy environment for guests. Hotels are encouraged to maintain good ventilation and use eco-friendly cleaning products to reduce the risk of such issues.

If you're experiencing these symptoms, I'd suggest speaking with your hotel management about them. They might want to conduct an inspection or review their current practices. If they don't address it, or if your symptoms persist, contacting a professional environmental inspection company would be wise. We at Saniservice can help check the air quality and recommend necessary changes.

In the meantime, try opening windows when possible to improve airflow, and avoid using scented candles or air fresheners which could exacerbate any irritation. If you experience severe symptoms like difficulty breathing, it's important to seek medical advice right away.

Remember, in case of serious concerns, don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for immediate assistance. Their experts can offer guidance and help ensure a healthy living environment for you and your family.

Take care and I hope this information helps!
