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 renovation cause family respiratory issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent renovation work in our living room, which included laying new flooring, I’ve noticed a persistent musty odor that lingers even with constant ventilation. My family has been experiencing coughing fits especially at night, and it’s worrying me if there might be something related to the cleaning materials or dust from the renovation. Could this be causing respiratory issues? What steps should we take to ensure our home is safe again?

Certainly! The musty odor and coughing fits could indeed be related to the renovation work. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, renovations often involve a variety of materials that can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or other irritants into the air. These can cause respiratory issues among family members.

Firstly, it's important to understand that after any major home improvement project like flooring installation, there can be temporary airborne particles and fumes. This is especially true for certain adhesives, sealants, and cleaning agents used in renovations. These substances may take some time to fully dissipate from the air, causing discomfort or even triggering allergies and asthma.

However, if these symptoms persist beyond a few weeks or worsen over time, it's crucial to seek professional help. The UAE has specific environmental regulations that mandate certain standards for indoor air quality, particularly in new constructions and renovations. These guidelines are designed to protect residents from harmful substances released during construction activities.

I would recommend reaching out to a professional company like Saniservice to conduct an inspection of your home. They can assess the situation, identify any potential sources of contamination, and provide remediation solutions if necessary. Their services include air quality testing, mold assessments, and thorough cleaning to ensure your home is safe for living.

In the meantime, here are some steps you can take:
• Increase ventilation by opening windows whenever possible.
• Use HEPA filters in your HVAC system or portable air purifiers to capture fine particles and allergens.
• Keep indoor plants as they can help improve air quality naturally through their photosynthesis process.
• Avoid using strong chemicals for cleaning during this period, opting instead for natural alternatives like vinegar or baking soda.

Remember, if symptoms continue despite these efforts, don't hesitate to contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email them at hello@saniservice.com. They can offer a thorough evaluation and appropriate solutions tailored for the UAE environment.

Stay safe and healthy!
