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 chemical smell from cleaner harming family?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent cleaning of our living room carpets using a new steam cleaner, we’ve noticed a lingering chemical smell that’s quite strong. My daughter has started complaining of a sore throat and runny nose every time we’re in there. Could this be from the cleaner or is it something else? Any advice on how to address this would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, the chemical smell from your new steam cleaner could indeed be causing discomfort to your family. In Dubai and the UAE, there aren't specific regulations that strictly limit the chemicals used in household cleaning products. However, it's essential to ensure that any product you use is safe for indoor environments.

Firstly, it sounds like the lingering smell might not just be from the cleaner itself but could also indicate a chemical reaction or residue left behind. Some steam cleaners do release certain chemicals during operation which can sometimes leave odors, especially in carpets where there's ample surface area to absorb and retain these compounds.

Regarding your daughter's symptoms - a sore throat and runny nose - it’s possible that she might be experiencing irritation from the residual chemicals. It would be wise to have an environmental inspection done by a professional company like Saniservice to check for any allergens or contaminants in the air, especially since you're dealing with potential indoor pollutants.

In the meantime, here are some steps you can take:

1. Increase ventilation: Open windows and use exhaust fans to enhance air circulation.
2. Use natural products: Consider switching to eco-friendly cleaning solutions that don’t contain harsh chemicals.
3. Allow time for off-gassing: Let your carpets air out fully before bringing back in furniture or moving about too much.
4. Humidify the area: A humidifier can help reduce irritation from dry air, which could be contributing to her symptoms.

If the problem persists, it’s crucial to seek professional assistance. Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) offers services that include thorough inspections and remediation for such issues. They are well-versed with local environmental standards and can provide you with a comprehensive solution.

Remember, keeping your indoor environment clean and safe is paramount to the health of all family members. Act now to ensure everyone's wellbeing!
