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 dust from AC affecting my son's cough?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be circulating some kind of weird dust lately, especially when it's running. I noticed it last week after we had a few days with low humidity and thought it might have kicked up some allergens from under the couch where the kids like to play. My son has been coughing a lot more than usual too. Is there anything specific I should clean or check in my home to address this?

Is dust from AC affecting my son's cough?

Well, it seems like your suspicions could be correct. The low humidity and the increased dust circulation might indeed have something to do with your son's more frequent coughing. Here are a few things you can check and clean in your apartment:

Firstly, ensure that the air conditioning unit is properly maintained. In Dubai, it’s crucial to follow local regulations and guidelines for AC maintenance. Regular cleaning of filters and coils should be done at least twice a year by professionals. The UAE Ministry of Energy and Water often issues advisories on energy efficiency, which also touch upon appliance maintenance.

Secondly, inspect the area under your couch where the kids like to play. This is likely the source of the dust you mentioned. Vacuum that space thoroughly with a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner to capture fine particles that might be causing irritation. You can use a damp cloth to wipe down surfaces as well, which will help in removing dust more effectively.

Thirdly, consider increasing indoor humidity levels. Dry air can exacerbate respiratory issues and may lead to the buildup of allergens like dust mites. Using a humidifier can create a healthier environment, but ensure it is cleaned regularly to avoid mold growth.

If you notice no improvement or if your son’s condition worsens, I highly recommend consulting a professional for an inspection. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can provide expert services and advice on indoor air quality and remediation of potential allergen sources.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an appointment. It's important to act swiftly in ensuring the health of your family, especially during times when we spend more time indoors due to weather conditions like low humidity.
