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.

Are air conditioners triggering kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a persistent cough in both of my kids when they return from school. The living room seems particularly affected, especially right after we turn on the air conditioner. Given that we’ve lived here for two years without noticing this before, how urgent is it to address potential asthma triggers in our home?

Air conditioners can indeed trigger coughs and respiratory issues in children. The dust storms we experienced last month might have introduced allergens into your home that are now more pronounced with the air conditioner’s operation. In Dubai, it's quite common to see an increase in asthma cases during summer months due to high humidity and dust levels.

Firstly, it is imperative to understand that every household in the UAE should be aware of potential indoor triggers like mold, dust mites, and pollen—especially after such intense weather conditions. The air conditioners, while they cool your home, can also circulate these allergens more effectively if not properly maintained.

Given your situation where both kids are experiencing persistent coughs since the storms, it’s wise to have a professional environmental inspection. In Dubai, you can contact 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a thorough examination of your home environment. This will help identify any hidden triggers and provide tailored solutions.

When inspecting your AC units, ensure that filters are clean and replaced regularly—every few months at the very least. Dirty filters can harbor dust mites, mold spores, and other allergens which get circulated through the air when you turn on the AC. Also, consider having a whole-house dehumidifier to reduce moisture levels, as high humidity promotes mold growth.

Cleaning your home thoroughly after the storms is also crucial. Use a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner and clean surfaces where dust can accumulate. Regular cleaning will help minimize allergens that might be causing the coughs.

Lastly, it’s important to monitor indoor air quality throughout the year. In Dubai, this means paying extra attention during summer months when AC use increases. By taking these proactive steps, you can significantly reduce the risk of asthma triggers in your home and provide a healthier environment for your children.
