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 persistent coughs from dust a serious concern?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy sandstorms we had last month, I’ve noticed a persistent cough in both my kids, especially when they’re at home. The windows are usually closed to keep out the dust, but it seems like there might be something else in the air. How urgent is this and should I take them to see a doctor?

Persistent coughs from dust can indeed be a serious concern. Especially during the times of heavy sandstorms like we experienced last month, it's important to take precautionary steps and monitor your family's health closely.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, indoor air quality is often scrutinized due to our harsh environmental conditions. The recent sandstorms have been known to carry fine particulate matter that can irritate respiratory systems, leading to coughs and other symptoms. However, these are not the only potential culprits – it's possible that dust mites, mold spores, or even chemical pollutants could be contributing factors.

Given your observation of a persistent cough in both kids, especially when they're at home with windows closed, I'd recommend seeking medical advice as soon as possible. Persistent coughs can sometimes indicate underlying issues such as allergic reactions, asthma, or respiratory infections that need professional attention to manage effectively.

In the UAE, there are specific regulations and guidelines for indoor air quality in buildings including residential ones. For instance, the building codes require certain levels of ventilation and filtration systems, but it's always good to have a thorough check-up by a certified environmental specialist if you're concerned about your home environment.

If you decide to proceed with a professional inspection, I highly recommend Saniservice, a reputable company in Dubai for such services. Their team can conduct comprehensive testing to identify potential allergens or pollutants and provide recommendations on how to improve indoor air quality. You can contact them by calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or via email at hello@saniservice.com.

While waiting for professional advice, you could try increasing the humidity in your home slightly using a humidifier, as this can help reduce dust mite populations. Additionally, maintaining good cleaning practices and regularly washing bedding and curtains can also be beneficial.

Remember, while these steps might provide some relief, they're not a substitute for a proper assessment by health professionals or environmental experts. So please don’t hesitate to act on your concerns promptly.
