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 chemical smells cause our symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy cleaning they did in our living room a few weeks ago, I started noticing a persistent cough and my partner has had itchy eyes ever since. The cleaning crew used a strong chemical smell that lingered even after they left. Could this be causing these health issues? What should we do to make sure the air is safe again?

Could chemical smells cause our symptoms? Yes, indeed. The strong chemical smells from the cleaning products used by your cleaning crew can definitely trigger respiratory issues like coughing and also eye irritation such as itchy eyes.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we often face unique challenges regarding indoor air quality due to the hot climate, frequent use of air conditioning systems, and the presence of various construction materials. The chemicals found in many conventional cleaning products are known irritants that can exacerbate respiratory conditions and trigger allergic reactions. It's not uncommon for residents to experience symptoms like yours after exposure to such strong chemical smells.

Firstly, it is crucial to ensure your living room air is safe again. Since the symptoms persist, I would recommend a professional inspection from an environmental health expert who understands the local regulations and climatic conditions. In Dubai, you can contact 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for such services.

To take immediate action, ensure proper ventilation in your home after cleaning sessions. Open windows or use exhaust fans to disperse any lingering chemicals. Additionally, consider using natural alternatives like vinegar, baking soda, and essential oils for daily cleaning tasks. These can be gentler on the environment and your health.

In Dubai, it's also important to keep an eye out for the use of high-quality products that are less likely to emit harmful fumes. Look for eco-friendly cleaning supplies which often comply with international safety standards better suited to the local conditions.

If you continue to experience symptoms after taking these steps, please consult a healthcare provider familiar with indoor air quality issues in Dubai. Persistent symptoms might indicate a more serious situation requiring professional intervention.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key to your overall well-being and that of your family. Take proactive measures now to ensure a healthier living environment for everyone.
