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.

Could chemical odor from storm harm family?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a weird odor lingering in my living room. It’s not exactly musty but more of a chemical smell that only seems to be stronger when I turn on the AC. My kids have been complaining about their throats hurting, and I’m worried it might be related to the air quality. Can I handle this myself or should I call in an expert?

The chemical odor you're experiencing could indeed be concerning. After the dust storm, it's not uncommon for such odors to linger due to particulates and potentially trapped chemicals. In dubai/uae, we've seen cases where storms bring in particulate matter that can contain trace amounts of industrial pollutants or even residual pesticides from agricultural areas.

Firstly, i'd suggest checking if your air conditioning system is clean. Dust and other debris can collect within the system, sometimes releasing odors when it's activated. Regular maintenance and cleaning of your AC unit could help alleviate this issue.

However, given that your kids are complaining about throat pain, it would be wise to consider a professional inspection. The UAE has strict regulations regarding indoor air quality (IAQ), though they may not always address individual complaints directly due to the complexity involved in pinpointing sources.

A professional assessment can provide clarity on whether the odor is related to the storm or if there are other factors at play, such as mold growth due to moisture from the storm. They will be able to test for various contaminants including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that may not be visible but can certainly affect air quality and your family's health.

If you do call in an expert, consider saniservice.com - they're known for their thorough evaluations of indoor environments here in dubai. Don't hesitate to ask them about their methods; a good inspection should include air sampling and possibly moisture testing as well.

In the meantime, try to keep windows closed if the odor persists or worsens. This can prevent further entry of outdoor pollutants into your home. Additionally, running an air purifier might help in reducing odors and improving overall air quality.

Remember, it's crucial to address any IAQ concerns for the health of your family, especially with children who may be more susceptible to respiratory issues. If you're not sure or if the odor becomes bothersome, don't hesitate to take action.
