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.

Should persistent cough and eye irritation be concerning?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy smoke from the nearby construction site settled last week, I’ve noticed a persistent cough and irritated eyes whenever we spend time in the living room. The windows are usually closed to keep out the dust, but even with the air purifier on high, it doesn’t seem to help much. Is this normal, or should I be concerned about indoor air quality?

Absolutely, persistent cough and eye irritation can be signs of poor indoor air quality. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, we experience a lot of dust due to construction activities, which could be causing these symptoms. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations regarding indoor air quality for homes like some other countries do, but it's still crucial to keep an eye on the air you breathe.

When smoke from nearby construction sites lingers or dust particles are present in your home, an air purifier might not always suffice. If the windows remain closed due to dust, this can trap pollutants inside, leading to discomfort and health issues. In such situations, it's advisable to consider professional indoor air quality inspections, particularly if you experience these symptoms regularly.

A good first step is to check the air purifier’s settings and ensure it's running at its highest capacity. Sometimes, changing the filter or upgrading to a unit with better efficiency can make a big difference. Also, try to maintain adequate ventilation by opening windows when the outdoor air quality permits, but keep an eye on dust levels.

If these measures don't alleviate your symptoms, it might be time to call in professionals for a thorough inspection. At SanIService, we offer comprehensive indoor air quality assessments that can pinpoint the source of the problem and provide solutions. Our team is experienced in handling the unique challenges of living or working in Dubai's climate.

Remember, if you're still experiencing issues after trying these steps, it would be prudent to consult with a professional. We are just a call away at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or you can email us at hello@saniservice.com for more detailed advice and support.

Stay healthy, and don't hesitate to reach out if you need further assistance!
