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 dusty air linked to my son's cough?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a strong dusty smell lingering in our living room, especially when my son comes home from school. It's concerning because he’s been complaining of a persistent cough lately, which has me worried it might be related to the poor air quality. Have any of you experienced similar issues and how did you address them?

It's understandable to be concerned about the dust storms and their potential impact on your family's health, especially considering your son’s persistent cough. In Dubai and the UAE, we do see an increase in respiratory issues following such events due to high levels of particulate matter and allergens.

Dusty air can indeed exacerbate or trigger respiratory problems like coughing. The dust storms bring in a mix of fine particles from the desert, construction sites, and even vehicle exhausts. These particles can irritate the lungs and contribute to respiratory issues. Given your son's symptoms, it could very well be related to the poor air quality.

To address this issue, I recommend getting a professional indoor air quality inspection. In Dubai, regulations under the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) require regular maintenance of HVAC systems, including duct cleaning. However, not everyone is aware that even with regular maintenance, dust and debris can accumulate in the ductwork, leading to potential health issues.

Duct cleaning is an effective way to remove these contaminants. A professional service will use specialized equipment to thoroughly clean your HVAC system, helping to reduce the amount of dust and allergens circulating through your home’s air.

If you decide to take this step, I suggest contacting a reputable company like Saniservice. They offer reliable duct cleaning services that adhere to local standards. Their contact details are 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or you can email them at hello@saniservice.com.

In the meantime, consider using air purifiers in key areas of your home, especially his bedroom and living room. HEPA filters are effective in capturing fine particles that might be contributing to his cough.

Lastly, ensure good ventilation by opening windows when possible (while still keeping an eye on dust levels), or use exhaust fans to help remove indoor pollutants.

Taking these steps should help improve the air quality in your home and hopefully alleviate your son’s symptoms. Stay safe and healthy!
