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 strong scents during Ramadan harming our health?« Back to Previous Page

Since the start of Ramadan this year, we’ve been using a lot more incense and essential oils for fragrance since everyone’s spending more time at home. The living room has that strong scent all day long now. My throat feels a bit irritated, and my daughter complained of a headache. Have others noticed similar effects or any tips to balance the fragrance while keeping our home clean?

Are strong scents during Ramadan harming our health? Yes, it's quite likely. The increased usage of incense and essential oils can indeed have an adverse effect on indoor air quality especially if the levels are too high or if the products used are not of good quality.

In Dubai and the UAE, there aren't strict regulations specifically targeting the use of scents during Ramadan but ensuring a healthy environment is crucial. The strong fragrances you mentioned could irritate your throat and trigger headaches in your daughter. This can happen due to heightened sensitivities or because the products may contain allergens or volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

First, it’s important to check if the incense and essential oils are of good quality. Cheap imitations might release harmful chemicals which can cause respiratory issues or migraines. Ensure that any fragrances you use are natural and free from synthetic materials.

Ventilation is key in reducing indoor pollution. Try to keep windows open during the cooler parts of the day, especially when not using scents. Using air purifiers can also help maintain clean air.

If your symptoms persist despite these measures, it might be wise to have a professional inspection done by a company like Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com). They can assess the overall indoor environmental quality and provide recommendations tailored for Dubai's climate and living conditions.

Remember, keeping your home well-ventilated and using high-quality products will go a long way in maintaining good air quality. And if you find yourself frequently experiencing these symptoms, it might be time to reassess how much fragrance is necessary or even consider a break from scents altogether during Ramadan.

Stay healthy and happy during this blessed month!
