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 poor air quality making my kids sick?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running constantly lately, but it still doesn't feel like it's cooling the place enough. My kids have been complaining of feeling cold even though the temperature inside is set fairly high. I’m worried because they’ve also had a stuffy nose and coughing fits since last week. Is this something to do with mold or poor air quality in our unit, or could there be another health risk we should be looking out for?

It sounds like your concerns about the air quality and its impact on your children's health could very well be valid. Given the climate and environmental conditions in Dubai, it's not uncommon to encounter issues related to indoor air quality (IAQ), especially during extreme temperatures or when the AC isn't functioning optimally.

In dubai, we often face high humidity levels which can create a breeding ground for mold if moisture control measures are inadequate. Mold growth can lead to respiratory issues and exacerbate existing allergies in children. Furthermore, poor circulation of fresh air and over-reliance on recirculated air by your AC could be contributing factors.

The constant running of the AC but still feeling cold indoors might suggest that the system isn't effectively removing warm air or there's a blockage somewhere. This can lead to stagnant air which is less healthy for everyone in the home.

Moreover, symptoms like stuffy nose and coughing fits are common indicators of poor IAQ. These could be signs of exposure to irritants such as mold spores, dust mites, or even volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from materials used in your apartment's construction.

Given these concerns, it would be prudent to have a professional inspection done. In the UAE, specific regulations like those outlined by the Department of Health regarding indoor air quality can provide guidance on acceptable standards. A company like Saniservice, which I recommend you contact at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com, could offer an expert evaluation and necessary remediation services.

In the meantime, make sure to keep your home well ventilated when possible, use dehumidifiers in damp areas of your apartment, and regularly clean air conditioning filters. These simple steps can help improve IAQ while you wait for professional assistance.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for everyone's health, especially children. Don't hesitate to take action if you suspect any issues.
