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 harming my kids?« Back to Previous Page

Since we got the new carpet installed in our living room a few weeks ago, I’ve been noticing a strange chemical smell that lingers even after airing out the space. My kids have been complaining of sore throats and runny noses every time they’re inside, especially after playing on the floor for a while. Is this just from the carpet off-gassing, or could it be affecting their health in other ways?

Is new carpet harming my kids? That's a valid concern and one that many parents have. The odour you're noticing is indeed likely from off-gassing of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which are common in newly installed carpets, especially those treated with certain chemicals for stain or fire resistance.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, there are specific regulations regarding indoor air quality and building materials. While we don't have a direct regulation specifically targeting carpet emissions, the Building Control Regulations (BS 5430) do address the overall environmental performance of buildings. This means ensuring that any new installations, like carpets, adhere to certain standards for health and safety.

The symptoms your kids are experiencing - sore throats and runny noses - could be due to these VOCs. Some studies have linked exposure to high levels of indoor air pollution, including those from carpet off-gassing, with respiratory issues in children. It's also possible that other factors like dust mites or mould might contribute to their discomfort.

Given the symptoms and your concerns, it would be prudent to seek a professional inspection. Companies like Saniservice offer comprehensive indoor environmental quality assessments which can identify any potential allergens or pollutants affecting your home environment.

To take immediate action, I'd recommend opening windows for ventilation whenever possible, using air purifiers with HEPA filters, and keeping the area clean of dust and dirt. However, these measures are temporary solutions; a professional inspection will provide you with a more definitive answer and specific recommendations to improve your indoor air quality.

Remember, early intervention is key in maintaining good indoor environmental health, so don't delay seeking help. You can contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com for an inspection. Don't let your kids' health be compromised by a new carpet - take action today!
