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 indoor air quality causing my children's cough?« Back to Previous Page

Since the heavy dust storm last month, I’ve noticed a persistent dry cough in both of my children whenever we spend time in our living room. The windows are rarely open due to the sand outside, but even with the air purifier running full blast, their symptoms seem worse than usual. Could this be related to the indoor air quality and is there anything specific I should check or improve?

Indoor air quality can indeed be the culprit for your children's persistent cough. In Dubai and the UAE, we often face challenges like sand storms which can lead to increased dust particles indoors. This coupled with minimal ventilation due to outdoor conditions can definitely affect indoor air quality.

Firstly, it is important to assess whether the air purifier you are using is sufficient given your situation. Air purifiers in this region need to handle high levels of particulate matter and allergens effectively. Look for one that has a HEPA filter which is capable of capturing particles as small as 0.3 microns - these include dust, pollen, mold spores, and other irritants.

Another key factor to consider is the humidity level in your home. High humidity can lead to an increase in mold and mildew growth, even indoors. Using a dehumidifier or ensuring proper ventilation with air conditioning systems could help maintain healthy indoor humidity levels – typically below 60%.

Regular cleaning of carpets, furniture, and curtains can also reduce allergens. In the UAE, it is common for homes to have large rugs and heavy drapes which can accumulate dust over time.

It would be wise to consult an environmental professional who has experience in the region. They might suggest conducting a thorough indoor air quality test to identify specific pollutants that could be causing your children's symptoms. The Abu Dhabi branch of Saniservice, for instance, provides such services and can offer tailored recommendations based on their expertise.

In Dubai, regulations regarding indoor air quality are not as stringent as in some other regions, but maintaining good practices is crucial. Ensure that your HVAC system is serviced regularly to prevent dust build-up and ensure efficient operation.

Lastly, consider the placement of plants around the house which can naturally purify the air (though not all are effective against certain pollutants).

Remember, if symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional for advice tailored to your family’s specific needs. For more information or assistance, you may call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com.

Take care and hope this helps improve the air quality in your home!
