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.

Could cleaning cause our coughs and sneezes?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy cleaning sessions we had for the Ramadan preparations a few weeks ago, my children and I have been experiencing persistent coughs and sneezing. The air feels dry and stuffy, even with the AC running. Could this be due to improper cleaning practices in our home? What steps should I take to ensure it’s safe and healthy for us?

Cleaning can indeed cause coughs and sneezes especially after heavy cleaning sessions. In the UAE, particularly Dubai, it's crucial to ensure that your cleaning practices are thorough yet safe for you and your family.

Firstly, some common culprits behind these symptoms could be due to improper use of cleaning agents or lack of proper ventilation. Many disinfectants and strong detergents can irritate respiratory systems leading to coughs and sneezes. Also, if the air is not well-circulated during and after the cleaning process, it can lead to stuffiness and dryness which might exacerbate these symptoms.

To ensure your home remains a safe haven for you and your children, here are some steps you can take:

1. Choose the Right Products: Opt for eco-friendly or hypoallergenic cleaning products that have lower irritant potential. They often come with labels specifying their use in homes with asthmatics or those who suffer from allergies.

2. Proper Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation during and after cleaning activities. Open windows, activate exhaust fans if available, or consider using a dehumidifier to maintain appropriate humidity levels.

3. Allergy-Proof Practices: After the heavy cleaning session for Ramadan preparations, it's wise to vacuum carpets and upholstery thoroughly, dust surfaces gently but effectively, and clean bathrooms with extra care. Use microfiber cloths which can trap more dirt and allergens than traditional cloths.

4. Professional Inspection: If symptoms persist or worsen despite your best efforts, consider seeking a professional indoor air quality inspection. Here in Dubai, you could reach out to companies like Saniservice who offer mold inspections and remediation services, ensuring that any hidden issues are addressed promptly.

5. Regular Maintenance: Establishing regular cleaning schedules can prevent the build-up of dust and allergens which might trigger respiratory issues. This could be as simple as a weekly bathroom clean or daily tidying to keep messes from accumulating.

By following these guidelines, you'll not only maintain a cleaner home but also reduce the risk of indoor air quality related health issues like coughs and sneezing. If in doubt, always reach out for professional assistance. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to set up an inspection today!
