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 poor indoor air quality harmful to my family?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a strange odor lingering in my living room. The air feels thick and unbreathable, especially when I’ve had the windows closed due to the heat. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits, which I’m starting to think might be linked to the poor indoor air quality. How urgent is this issue, and what steps should I take immediately?

Poor indoor air quality can indeed be harmful to your family's health. With the recent dust storm that hit the UAE and particularly Dubai, it's quite understandable why you might be experiencing these issues. The thick, unbreathable feeling and persistent odors are common after such weather events.

Firstly, the UAE has strict regulations regarding indoor air quality. According to the Federal Law No. 17 of 2009 on the Protection of Human Environment, all premises must maintain a minimum level of fresh air exchange rate to ensure good indoor air quality. This is especially important in areas like Dubai that often experience extreme weather conditions.

The dust and sand from last month's storm could have left behind particles that are now circulating in your home’s air, causing the thick and unbreathable feeling. These particles can irritate respiratory systems and lead to coughing fits, as you’ve noticed with your kids. The persistent odor might be due to mold or mildew growth in damp areas, especially if there has been any water damage post-storm.

Immediate steps you should take include ensuring proper ventilation by opening windows when it's safe to do so, using air purifiers that can filter out larger particles, and keeping humidity levels low with dehumidifiers. However, given the severity of your situation and the potential for harmful contaminants, a professional inspection is highly recommended. Saniservice, our company, can perform detailed indoor air quality tests to identify any issues and provide necessary remediation.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection as soon as possible. Early intervention can prevent further health issues for your family and help maintain a healthy living environment in Dubai's climate conditions.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, especially after such events. Don't hesitate to act now to ensure the wellbeing of you and your family.
