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 our air purifier causing indoor air issues?« Back to Previous Page

Since we got our new air purifier last month, I’ve noticed a persistent cough and runny nose that seem to clear up when I turn it off. The unit is right next to my son’s bedroom in the living area, which gets quite stuffy during the cooler months. After the rain last week, I noticed the smell inside the house was really strong, even after airing out the rooms for hours. Could this be related to our indoor air quality?

It's possible that your air purifier might be causing some indoor air quality issues. Firstly, air purifiers can indeed have their own set of challenges. In the UAE, especially during cooler months or after heavy rain, we've seen instances where air purifiers could contribute to stuffiness and even bring in moisture which could lead to odors.

The smell you're experiencing might be due to the humidity levels inside your home. Air purifiers often come with a dehumidification feature but if not properly managed, they can indeed increase indoor humidity leading to musty odors. This is particularly common after rain as the air is more humid and it takes longer for the moisture to evaporate.

Moreover, placing the unit next to your son's bedroom could be affecting his sleep quality or causing discomfort due to the airflow. It’s important to ensure that the purifier isn’t creating an imbalance in the room's air circulation.

It's also worth noting that some air purifiers can release ozone which might irritate your respiratory system, leading to coughing and a runny nose. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations regarding ozone emissions from air purifiers but it is always good practice to ensure that any such device operates at safe levels.

Given the symptoms you're experiencing, I would recommend having a professional indoor air quality inspection. At Saniservice, we often see cases where clients install air purifiers without fully understanding their impact on the overall environment. Our team can provide a comprehensive assessment and offer recommendations tailored to your home in Dubai.

In the meantime, consider moving the unit to another part of the house, perhaps away from bedrooms, and check if these symptoms persist. Also, ensure that you're maintaining appropriate humidity levels—aim for around 40-60% which is recommended by health experts. This might involve using a hygrometer to monitor the air moisture.

If your symptoms continue or worsen, it’s important not to ignore them. Contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for further guidance and support. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial in Dubai's climate conditions, so taking proactive steps now can help ensure a healthier living environment for you and your family.
