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 symptoms related to recent living room work?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy cleaning we did in the living room a few weeks ago, my family has been experiencing some odd symptoms. The air smells strange and there seems to be a lot of dust floating around even though I cleaned thoroughly. My kids have had coughing fits at night, and my partner complains about having headaches more often. Could these issues be related to the cleaning we did?

Cleaning symptoms can indeed be related to the work done recently in your living room. In Dubai and UAE, regulations around indoor air quality are important but it's also crucial to consider the specific circumstances of your cleaning efforts. When you clean thoroughly, dust particles and other contaminants are often stirred up into the air making them more noticeable.

It sounds like you might be experiencing some common issues post-cleaning, such as an increase in airborne dust or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that could have been released during the use of certain cleaning products. The symptoms your family is having - coughing fits and headaches - are not uncommon after thorough cleaning activities, especially if strong chemicals were used.

The UAE doesn't have specific regulations on indoor air quality for residential spaces but there are guidelines from entities like the Health Authority Abu Dhabi (HAAD) which recommend using eco-friendly products to minimize health risks.

To address your concerns, it's recommended that you open windows and use fans or air purifiers to help circulate the air in your home. This can significantly reduce dust and VOC levels. Also consider checking if any cleaning agents used were properly ventilated before applying.

If symptoms persist for more than a few days, it might be wise to get an indoor air quality inspection done by professionals who understand local conditions and regulations. Here in Dubai, companies like Saniservice are well-versed with the local environment and can provide reliable assessments.

Should you decide not to seek professional help, keep an eye on how your family feels over the next few days. If symptoms worsen or don't improve, it might be time to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for further assistance or email hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key to a healthy living environment. It’s always better to err on the side of caution when dealing with potential health issues caused by cleaning activities.
