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 dust and pollen triggering my kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense heatwave we had last month, my kids have been coughing a lot, especially after they play in our garden. The air feels heavy with dust and pollen even though I’ve tried cleaning all the windowsills and corners. Are there any specific steps or products you recommend to clean thoroughly for summer without making things worse for their health?

Dust and pollen can indeed be triggers for coughs, especially during the hot summer months. The intense heatwave you experienced might have intensified dust accumulation around your home, making it more likely to release particles into the air when disturbed. In Dubai, we often face high levels of airborne pollutants from sandstorms and outdoor allergens like pollen from local trees and plants.

To effectively clean for the summer without exacerbating respiratory issues, consider these steps:

1. Professional Inspection: Before starting a major cleaning campaign, it might be wise to have your home inspected by a professional environmental inspector. This can help identify any serious mold or pest issues that could worsen your kids' symptoms. If you are in the UAE, feel free to contact us at 800-MOLDS for an inspection.

2. Dust Control Measures: Use HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters in vacuum cleaners and air purifiers to trap small particles like dust mites and pollen. Regularly replacing these filters can significantly improve indoor air quality. In Dubai, we recommend checking the manufacturer’s guidelines for optimal filter replacement.

3. Dusting Techniques: When dusting, use microfiber cloths which are effective at trapping dust without spreading it around. Try to dust when your kids aren't in the room and ensure windows are closed to minimize outdoor pollutants coming inside.

4. Pollen Management: On high pollen days, keep windows shut and consider using an air conditioner with a filter. This can reduce the amount of pollen entering your home from outside. In Dubai, we often experience such conditions during certain seasons, so keeping this in mind is crucial.

5. Regular Cleaning Schedule: Establish a regular cleaning schedule for your home, focusing on high-traffic areas and those that are easily accessible to your kids. This can help reduce the amount of dust and pollen they come into contact with daily.

6. Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers: Depending on where you live in Dubai, humidity levels might affect indoor air quality. Using a dehumidifier can help control moisture which is often linked to mold growth. Ensure that your home’s ventilation system is also functioning well to avoid damp areas developing.

7. Ventilation: On days when the outdoor air quality is good, take advantage of natural ventilation by opening windows for brief periods. However, be mindful of keeping them closed during high pollen or dust events.

By implementing these steps and maintaining a vigilant cleaning routine, you can help reduce the likelihood of your kids experiencing coughs and other respiratory issues caused by dust and pollen in your home during summer months. Remember to keep an eye on local weather reports for pollen alerts and adjust your cleaning accordingly.
