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 stove coil dust causing odor and coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a strange odor coming from the kitchen. It’s faint but persistent, especially when I turn on the exhaust fan over the stove. My family has been complaining of coughing fits, particularly my young daughter. Could this be related to the coils in our range hood? Have you ever dealt with this issue before and how did you clean them without risking exposure to harmful particles?

Hey there! Yes, it's entirely possible that the strange odor and coughing fits your family is experiencing could be related to the coils in your range hood. After a dust storm, dust can accumulate in hard-to-reach areas like the coil of your range hood, leading to such issues.

In Dubai/UAE, we have specific regulations regarding indoor air quality, particularly when it comes to kitchen appliances and their maintenance. The Health Authority - Abu Dhabi (HAAD) is keen on ensuring that all premises are maintained to prevent any health hazards. While it's understandable if you're not entirely sure about the source of the smell or discomfort, I would strongly recommend a professional inspection. This can help pinpoint exactly what might be causing these issues and ensure your family's safety.

To clean the coils yourself, here’s how you can approach it:

First, unplug the range hood to avoid any electrical hazards. Next, gently remove the grill covering the coil by unscrewing or prying off the retaining clips (check your model for specific instructions). Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner with an attachment to carefully clean the dust from the coils and ducts. Be cautious not to force anything that might damage the components.

If you notice any discoloration, unusual smells, or if cleaning isn’t removing the odor, it’s best to call in a professional. Saniservice for example, has experts who can handle such issues with minimal risk of exposure. They use specialized equipment and techniques to clean and disinfect your range hood without compromising safety.

Remember, while DIY cleaning is an option, it's crucial to ensure that you're not exposing yourself or your family to any harmful particles. If symptoms persist after cleaning or if you’re uncomfortable doing the job yourself, please consider a professional inspection. Your health should always come first!

So, don’t hesitate to call 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) for a quick and professional service. Or email hello@saniservice.com with any questions or concerns. Stay healthy and safe!
