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 cleaning residues causing our headaches and fatigue?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy cleaning we did in our living room a few weeks ago, both my husband and I have been experiencing persistent headaches and a general sense of fatigue. The area where we cleaned was right by the entrance, near where we store our vacuum cleaner. Could these symptoms be related to what we released while cleaning? What should we do to ensure it’s safe for us to stay in that room again?

Cleaning residues could very well be the culprit behind those persistent headaches and fatigue. In Dubai, as per the UAE's Environment Agency regulations, certain cleaning products contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which can off-gas into the air causing adverse health effects if not properly managed.

When you had your living room cleaned a few weeks ago near where you store your vacuum cleaner, it’s possible that some of these residues were released. The area being close to the entrance and storage might have affected ventilation, leading to a buildup of chemicals in the air.

To ensure safety for staying in that room again, I’d recommend taking a few steps:

1. Proper Ventilation: Ensure good airflow by opening windows and using fans or air purifiers. This can help disperse any lingering fumes.

2. Check Your Cleaning Products: Review the labels of your cleaning supplies to ensure they are not releasing harmful chemicals. Look for products that are marked as low-VOC or eco-friendly, which generally have fewer emissions.

3. Professional Inspection: Given the severity of your symptoms, it would be prudent to seek a professional inspection from a company like Saniservice. They can conduct indoor air quality tests and identify any lingering contaminants.

4. Follow Up Carefully: If you do decide to use Saniservice, please call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an appointment. Make sure the service covers thorough inspection of all cleaning products used in your home and a full check on your indoor air quality.

5. Regular Maintenance: Going forward, consider implementing regular maintenance checks to ensure your home’s cleanliness without risking health. This might include using HEPA filters or professional cleaning services that are aware of local regulations like those set by the Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi (EAD).

Remember, it's crucial to address these issues promptly to avoid prolonged exposure which can lead to more severe health complications.

I hope this helps and wish you a quick recovery.
