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.

Could cleaning chemicals cause my kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm a few weeks ago, I’ve noticed a lingering musty odor in my bedroom, even though I regularly open the windows to air it out. My kids have been coughing more frequently lately, and I’m starting to wonder if it could be related to the cleaning products used by the staff. Could exposure to these chemicals be causing their symptoms?

Yes, it is quite possible that the cleaning chemicals used by your cleaning staff could be causing your kids' coughs. In Dubai and across the UAE, there are specific regulations regarding indoor environmental quality and the use of cleaning products. The Ministry of Community Development and Social Support (MCDCSS) oversees these standards to ensure they align with public health guidelines.

The musty odor you mentioned can indeed indicate the presence of chemicals or mold, both of which can irritate respiratory systems, especially in children who have more sensitive lungs. Cleaning agents often contain strong fragrances and solvents that may cause allergic reactions or exacerbate existing conditions like asthma or bronchitis.

Given your situation, it's highly recommended to have a professional indoor air quality inspection performed by a certified company such as Saniservice. They can identify the source of the musty smell and assess if there is any mold growth which could be contributing to your children's coughs. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an appointment.

In the meantime, ensure that your home remains well-ventilated by opening windows regularly, especially after cleaning tasks. Use natural alternatives like vinegar and baking soda for cleaning where possible. Opt for products labeled as eco-friendly or low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) to minimize exposure to harsh chemicals.

If you do not see an improvement in the air quality or your kids' symptoms, it's crucial to consult with a healthcare provider who can provide medical advice based on their condition. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is essential for health and comfort, especially in a climate like Dubai’s where extreme temperatures can affect how well your home retains pollutants.

Stay proactive about your family's wellbeing!
