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 poor cleaning practices causing our coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a few weeks ago, I’ve noticed a persistent cough and congestion in both of my kids’ rooms. The air feels thicker and more musty than usual. Could this be due to poor cleaning practices? What specific areas should I focus on during our next deep clean to prevent these symptoms?

Yes, poor cleaning practices can indeed cause those coughs and congestion your kids have been experiencing. The heavy dust storm we had recently might have stirred up a lot of allergens and particulate matter into the air, but if your home hasn't been cleaned thoroughly in a while, it could be contributing to the issue as well.

Firstly, i'd recommend checking for signs of mold growth, which is quite common after storms or high humidity periods. Mold can thrive in damp conditions and can cause respiratory issues, especially among children. The uae has stringent laws regarding indoor air quality, so it's important to ensure that your home meets these standards.

When you're preparing for a deep clean, here are some specific areas i'd suggest focusing on:

1. Dust Accumulation: Dust is often the primary culprit in triggering coughs and congestion. Pay special attention to corners, under beds, behind furniture, and ceiling fans. Use a microfiber cloth or vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter for best results.

2. Air Ducts & Filters: Regular cleaning of air ducts can help remove accumulated dust and debris, improving indoor air quality. Ensure your HVAC filters are clean and replaced as needed to maintain airflow.

3. Moisture Control: Check for any water damage or leaks that could be contributing to mold growth. Use dehumidifiers in areas prone to moisture like bathrooms and kitchens.

4. Window Sills & Frames: These can collect a lot of dust, especially during storms. Make sure to clean them thoroughly.

5. Bedding & Pillows: Wash all bedding, including pillows and duvet covers, at least once a week with hot water to kill dust mites.

6. Ventilation: Ensure good ventilation in your home to help reduce the buildup of moisture and allergens. Open windows when possible or use fans.

7. Storage Areas: Check for any items that might be harboring dust or mold like boxes, paper products, or old clothes stored under beds.

If you find persistent issues despite thorough cleaning or if symptoms persist in your family members, it's advisable to call for a professional inspection. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive environmental assessments and remediation services tailored to the specific needs of homes in dubai and the uae. Our team can provide expert advice and ensure that your home meets all necessary standards.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for everyone’s health, especially children. Regular cleaning and addressing any issues promptly are key steps towards creating a healthier living environment.
