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.

Are symptoms from store cleaning products harmful?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent deep cleaning of our retail store, which includes using strong disinfectants and air fresheners, my family and I have been experiencing headaches and sore throats. The smell has lingered even after airing out the space for days. Could these symptoms be related to the cleaning products used in the store? What kind of chemicals should we avoid or check for to ensure a healthier environment?

Yes, symptoms from store cleaning products can indeed be harmful. What's happening in your case sounds pretty common after using strong disinfectants and air fresheners. These chemicals often contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other irritants that can cause respiratory issues like sore throats and headaches.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, there are no strict regulations on all cleaning products used in retail spaces. However, it's important to use products that comply with local safety standards such as those set by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Look for labels indicating that the product is approved or meets GCC health and safety guidelines.

Avoiding certain chemicals can significantly reduce your risks. For instance, avoid using products containing formaldehyde, chlorinated hydrocarbons like perchloroethylene, and phthalates. These are known to be harmful in high concentrations and prolonged exposure. Additionally, benzene and triclosan are also chemicals you should steer clear of as they can irritate the respiratory system.

If the symptoms persist despite airing out the space or using milder products, it might be time to consult a professional environmental inspection service. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive indoor air quality assessments that can pinpoint problematic substances and recommend safer alternatives. You can contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for an evaluation or visit our website at hello@saniservice.com to get started.

Remember, maintaining good ventilation is key during cleaning processes. Open windows and use fans to help disperse any lingering fumes. Also, consider using natural alternatives like vinegar, baking soda, and essential oils in small quantities as they are generally safer for your health.

Taking these steps should help improve the indoor air quality at your retail store and reduce the chances of experiencing unpleasant symptoms in the future.
