Should stale smell need professional cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running almost non-stop these days, but despite that, there's still a noticeable stale smell throughout my living room. It’s especially concerning since my kids have been complaining of coughing fits more often lately, even though they don’t seem to have allergies or asthma. Given our location in Dubai where the air quality can sometimes be an issue, I’m wondering if this is something I should handle myself with some cleaning and filters, or if it might require a professional's help?

Absolutely, it's quite common for indoor air quality issues to arise in dubai due to the high temperatures and humidity levels. The constant running of your AC system without a noticeable improvement in air quality could indeed be indicative of a more serious issue at hand.

Firstly, let’s consider some possible causes:
• Accumulated dust and dirt in vents
• Moisture build-up leading to mold growth
• Poor ventilation within the living space

Given the specifics of your situation – especially with kids experiencing coughing fits – it's crucial to address this promptly. While cleaning and replacing filters can certainly help, they might not be enough if there are deeper underlying issues at play.

In such cases, I'd recommend having a professional inspection carried out. We here at Saniservice understand the unique challenges of living in dubai, and our team is well-versed with the local regulations and standards for indoor air quality (like those set by the Dubai Health Authority).
