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

The AC in my apartment seems to be running non-stop these days, but even with it on high, the air still feels thick and stuffy. Last week after a particularly hot day, I noticed a strange smell lingering in the living room near our kids' play area. They’ve been complaining of coughing fits and seem more irritable than usual. Could this be due to poor indoor air quality, and if so, what steps should I take to improve it?

Yes, poor indoor air quality could definitely be making your kids sick. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, humidity levels can soar during summer months and this coupled with high temperatures can make the air feel thick and stuffy even when AC is on high settings.

Firstly, it's crucial to consider that in such conditions, pollutants like dust mites, mold spores, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from paints or furnishings, carbon dioxide buildup, and other allergens could be affecting your kids' health. A strange smell near the play area might indicate a source of contamination such as dampness which can lead to mold growth.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. They will check for moisture levels, analyze air quality and identify any potential sources of contaminants in your apartment.

In the meantime, you could take several steps:

1. Ensure good ventilation: Open windows when weather permits to allow fresh air into your home.
2. Use an air purifier: Devices with HEPA filters can be effective at capturing small particles like dust mites and pollen which may irritate your kids' respiratory systems.
3. Regular cleaning: Dust and vacuum frequently, especially in the play area where your children spend a lot of time. This helps remove allergens from surfaces.
4. Check for mold: Look out for any signs of dampness or discoloration on walls, ceilings, or around windows that might indicate mold growth. If found, consult with professionals to address it.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is vital, especially in a climate like Dubai’s where temperatures can fluctuate dramatically. Regular checks and proactive measures will help ensure your family stays healthy and comfortable throughout the year.

Taking these steps now could prevent future issues and keep your home environment as safe as possible for your kids.
