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 new carpet emitting harmful chemicals?« Back to Previous Page

Since we got that new carpet installed in the living room a few months ago, I’ve noticed an unusual chemical smell lingering even after vacuuming. My kids have been complaining of itchy eyes and sneezing fits whenever they’re in there for more than 15 minutes. Is this something to be concerned about? Could it be affecting their health?

Is new carpet emitting harmful chemicals?

Absolutely, there is a possibility that the unusual chemical smell you're noticing might be due to off-gassing from the new carpet. This phenomenon can occur as carpets release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air during their life cycle. While most modern carpets are manufactured with safer materials, it's not unheard of for some to emit trace amounts of chemicals that could cause discomfort or even more severe health effects.

In Dubai and the UAE, we have specific regulations regarding indoor air quality, but they generally focus on larger industrial emissions rather than new carpeting in residential settings. However, as a precautionary measure, it’s wise to ensure your home environment is safe for you and your family.

The symptoms your kids are experiencing - itchy eyes and sneezing fits - could be linked to the chemical irritants from the new carpet. Prolonged exposure might exacerbate these symptoms or even trigger other allergic reactions. It's important to address this concern promptly to prevent any potential health issues.

To get a better understanding of what’s going on, I recommend having your home inspected by professionals who specialize in indoor environmental quality. They can assess the situation and determine if there are indeed harmful chemicals present that need to be addressed. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer such services with expertise tailored to local conditions.

In the meantime, here are a few steps you can take:
1. Ensure good ventilation by opening windows or using an exhaust fan.
2. Consider placing activated carbon filters in the room to help absorb some of those chemicals.
3. Keep your family members away from the area for extended periods until more is known about the situation.

If you decide to proceed with a professional inspection, Saniservice can be reached at 800-MOLDS or by emailing hello@saniservice.com. They'll provide a thorough assessment and recommended solutions based on their findings.

Remember, your health and that of your family's is paramount. Don't hesitate to take action if you suspect any issues with the air quality in your home.
