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.

Should I test my apartment's air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy smoke from the nearby construction site settled a few weeks ago, I noticed an unusual odor lingering in my living room. My family has been experiencing more colds and sniffles than usual, which makes me think it might be related to the air quality inside our apartment. Given that we’ve lived here for two years without any issues, should I consider hiring an air quality professional to test and clean the air?

Absolutely, it sounds like the unusual odor and increased sniffles might be linked to your apartment's air quality. Given the recent heavy smoke from a nearby construction site, it’s wise to consider getting an air quality test done.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, building regulations like EN 13788:2004 and ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) guidelines are crucial for maintaining a healthy indoor environment. These standards ensure that buildings meet certain air quality criteria to protect residents.

Given the situation you've described, it would be prudent to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an inspection. A professional can assess the current state of your apartment's air and recommend necessary actions. They might use advanced equipment like portable air monitors that can detect particulate matter, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other pollutants.

In addition to hiring a professional, you could also take some steps yourself:
• Ensure your HVAC system is properly maintained and serviced regularly.
• Use activated carbon or HEPA filters in your air purifiers if you have them. These can help remove harmful particles from the air.
• Increase ventilation by opening windows when possible, but be cautious during high-pollution times.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality isn't just about eliminating odors; it's also crucial for health and well-being. If the professional finds issues, they will provide you with a detailed report and recommendations on how to improve your living conditions.

Don’t ignore these signs. Your family’s health is paramount, so taking proactive measures now can prevent more serious problems down the line.
