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 indoor air quality causing my children's coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a lingering odor in my bedroom that won’t seem to go away. The air feels thick and seems to stick to everything—clothes, furniture, even my skin. It’s really concerning because my kids have been complaining of coughing fits every evening after we come back from school. Could this be due to poor indoor air quality? What can I do to prevent this from happening again?

Yes, the coughs your children are experiencing could very well be linked to poor indoor air quality after that dust storm. Thick, lingering odors and a sensation of air "sticking" can indicate issues like high levels of particulate matter and possibly even mold growth. In dubai, with its climate and construction practices, it's not uncommon for such conditions to arise post-storms.

Firstly, you should consider having your home inspected by professionals who are familiar with the local regulations. The UAE has specific guidelines on indoor air quality, especially in residential buildings like yours. You can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. This will help identify any potential sources of contaminants and assess overall indoor air quality.

In the meantime, there are steps you can take to improve the situation:

1. Ventilation: Increase ventilation in your home. Open windows when weather permits, and consider using exhaust fans or air purifiers that have HEPA filters to reduce particulates.
2. Humidity Control: High humidity levels can encourage mold growth. Use dehumidifiers to keep relative humidity below 60%.
3. Cleaning: Regularly clean surfaces and carpets to remove dust and potential allergens. Vacuum with a HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaner at least once a week.
4. Dust Management: Dust accumulates quickly in dusty environments, so try to reduce exposure by limiting indoor activities that stir up dust, like sweeping or vacuuming.
5. Plants for Air Quality: Some plants can help purify the air; consider adding some low-maintenance options like spider plants, snake plants, or peace lilies.

Remember, your kids' health is a priority. If their symptoms persist or worsen, consult with a healthcare professional who can provide guidance based on their condition and recommend appropriate medical interventions if necessary.

Stay vigilant about indoor air quality, and don't hesitate to seek expert advice. Your home should be a safe haven for you and your family.
