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 humidity and cleaning causing my throat irritation?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense heat and pollution we had last week, my throat has been feeling really sore and scratchy. The carpets in our living room are looking pretty grimy even though we clean them regularly, and I can see a bit of dust on the window sills that I haven't reached yet. Given the humidity and all the cleaning we've done for Ramadan preparations, could this be causing my throat irritation? Any advice on how to deal with it or prevent further issues would be greatly appreciated.

Humidity and cleaning can indeed contribute to throat irritation. In the UAE, especially during Ramadan preparations, the air conditioning units are often working overtime to keep the indoor spaces cool and dry. This can lead to a drop in relative humidity levels indoors compared to outside. When the air gets drier, it can irritate your throat and make you feel more susceptible to infections.

Additionally, cleaning activities, particularly with harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing, can release particles into the air that may be inhaled. Dust mites, mold spores, and pet dander can also thrive in high humidity levels and get stirred up during thorough cleanings like what you're experiencing for Ramadan preparations. All these factors can contribute to your throat feeling sore and scratchy.

To address this issue, start by ensuring your air conditioning systems are properly maintained. Regular servicing helps keep the filters clean and free of dust and mold. If your home is particularly dusty or if you notice any musty odors, it might be a good idea to call in an expert for a professional inspection. In Dubai/UAE, you can contact 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.

In the meantime, here are some practical steps you can take:
1. Use a humidifier in your living room to maintain optimal humidity levels.
2. Clean your carpets gently using a steam cleaner which is less harsh on fibers and doesn't release as many particles into the air.
3. Dust window sills and other hard-to-reach areas with a damp cloth or a microfiber duster.
4. Keep windows closed during peak dusting times to avoid bringing in more outdoor contaminants.

Regularly airing out your home, while ensuring you don’t over-expose yourself to heat, can also help reduce indoor humidity. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and consider using a throat lozenge or gargling with salt water if irritation persists.

If the irritation continues despite these measures or if you notice any signs of mold growth or other issues, it’s best to consult with an expert who can provide more targeted advice for your specific situation.
