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 an air filter help my son's asthma?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be causing my son’s asthma to flare up. Every time we turn it on, his cough gets worse and his breathing sounds more labored. We’ve lived here for two years and just noticed this pattern after a particularly humid spell last month. Are there specific air filters or treatments I should look into to prevent this from happening again?

Yes, an air filter can indeed help your son's asthma, especially given the climate and conditions in Dubai. The humidity levels here are notoriously high, which can trigger asthma symptoms. An effective air filtration system can remove allergens like dust mites, mold spores, and pet dander from the air, significantly reducing irritants that might be exacerbating his condition.

When choosing an air filter for your apartment, consider a High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter. HEPA filters are designed to capture particles as small as 0.3 microns, which can include many of the allergens responsible for asthma attacks. Look for a system with a CADR rating that matches the size of your room; this will ensure it effectively cleans the air.

Additionally, consider installing an air conditioning unit equipped with a built-in filtration system or purchasing portable units that you can move from room to room. It’s important to note that while ACs can help in reducing humidity and temperature, they need proper maintenance to prevent mold growth. Ensure your AC is serviced regularly by professionals who can inspect for leaks, clean the evaporator coils, and replace filters as necessary.

In Dubai's climate, it might also be beneficial to have a dehumidifier running alongside your air conditioner during humid spells to keep indoor humidity levels low. This dual approach of cooling and dehumidifying can create a more comfortable environment that is less likely to trigger asthma symptoms.

It’s crucial to monitor the indoor air quality regularly. You might want to invest in an air quality sensor or hire professionals for regular inspections, especially if your son's condition seems to worsen despite these measures. In serious cases, consulting with an allergist who can provide personalized advice on managing your son's asthma and identifying specific triggers is highly recommended.

For more information or assistance, feel free to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. Our team of experts can offer tailored solutions for your situation in the UAE/Dubai region.

Remember, while air filters and AC maintenance are key steps, they should be part of a comprehensive approach to managing asthma indoors.
