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 indoor air quality be harming my kids' health?« Back to Previous Page

We've lived in our villa in Dubai for over three years now, and lately, I've been noticing that my kids seem to be sneezing and coughing more than usual, especially when they're playing in the living room. I keep the windows closed due to the dust outside, but I'm worried that the indoor air quality might be affecting them. I've also spotted some mold in the corners of the bathroom and kitchen that I can't seem to get rid of no matter how much I clean. Could this be contributing to their respiratory issues? What steps can I take to improve the air quality in our home?

Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a significant concern, especially in a region like the UAE, where external dust and humidity levels can adversely affect indoor environments. The symptoms you've described in your children—sneezing and coughing—can indeed be linked to poor indoor air quality, which may be exacerbated by the presence of mold in your home.

Mold is a common issue in areas with high humidity, and it can lead to various respiratory problems, particularly in sensitive individuals like children. The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor air quality, primarily outlined in the UAE Federal Law No. 24 of 1999 for the Protection and Development of the Environment and various building codes that emphasize the importance of maintaining healthy indoor environments. These laws underscore the need for regular inspections and maintenance to prevent health hazards associated with indoor pollutants.

To improve the air quality in your home, I recommend the following steps:

1. Immediate Mold Remediation: Since you've already identified mold in your bathroom and kitchen, it's crucial to address this issue promptly. Simply cleaning with household cleaners may not be sufficient to eliminate mold spores and prevent regrowth. Consider hiring a professional mold inspection and remediation company that can effectively assess the extent of the mold problem and remove it safely.

2. Improve Ventilation: Although you keep your windows closed to prevent dust ingress, good ventilation is essential for reducing indoor pollutants. Consider installing an air exchange system or using exhaust fans in areas prone to moisture, like bathrooms and kitchens, to help improve airflow.

3. Air Purification: Invest in high-quality air purifiers equipped with HEPA filters to help capture airborne particles, allergens, and mold spores. This is especially important in the living areas where your children spend time.

4. Regular Cleaning: Establish a routine for cleaning your home, focusing on areas that may trap dust and allergens, such as carpets, curtains, and upholstery. Use a vacuum cleaner equipped with a HEPA filter to minimize dust emissions during cleaning.

5. Humidity Control: Monitor and maintain indoor humidity levels between 30-50% to inhibit mold growth. You can use dehumidifiers in areas that are prone to high moisture levels, especially during the humid months in Dubai.

6. Professional Inspection: If symptoms persist or if you suspect a more serious air quality issue, consider a comprehensive indoor air quality assessment by professionals. They can provide you with detailed reports on pollutants present in your home and recommend specific measures tailored to your needs.

If you would like to discuss your situation in more detail or schedule an inspection, don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. Taking these steps can help protect your children's health and improve your home’s indoor air quality significantly.
