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.

Can cleaning staff affect my family's health?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent heavy cleaning done by the new staff in our apartment, we’ve noticed a persistent dull headache that sets in every evening. The living room where they were working seems to be the worst affected area, and my throat feels sore too. We've lived here for 2 years, but this is the first time something like this has happened. Has anyone else experienced similar health issues after cleaning staff have worked?

Cleaning staff can certainly have an impact on your family's health. The symptoms you're describing such as a dull headache and sore throat could be related to the cleaning activities that took place recently. In Dubai, we do follow certain regulations for indoor environmental quality but sometimes issues like these arise from factors that aren't always directly linked to regulations.

Firstly, it is important to consider if there was an increase in dust or chemicals during their work. This can happen if the cleaning process stirred up particles from carpets, furniture, or even old allergens and irritants trapped in upholstery. In Dubai, we often face challenges with high humidity which can lead to mold growth and other biological contaminants that could be exacerbated by heavy cleaning.

Another factor might be the use of products that contain harsh chemicals or fragrances. While it is important for cleaning staff to use effective cleaning agents, sometimes they may not follow the correct procedures which can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air causing discomfort and possible health effects.

If you have experienced these symptoms only since the recent cleaning work was done in your living room area, then it's worth considering that this specific space might be more affected. It’s recommended to open windows for ventilation if at all possible to allow fresh air to circulate. However, if the problem persists or worsens, it would be wise to call in a professional indoor environmental quality inspection.

In Dubai, companies like Saniservice provide such services and can help identify any underlying issues that might need addressing. Their contact number is 800-MOLDS or you could email them at hello@saniservice.com for further assistance. This way, you can get a thorough assessment of the situation and take necessary actions to improve your family's health and well-being.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial in Dubai's climate, so it’s always a good idea to keep an eye out for any unusual symptoms that might be related to cleaning or other factors in your home environment.
