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 my all-purpose cleaner be harming my health?« Back to Previous Page

The other day, I was cleaning my kitchen in Dubai and used a new all-purpose cleaner I bought from a local store. Ever since then, I've been feeling a bit lightheaded and have developed a scratchy throat, which seems to flare up every time I walk into the kitchen. I've noticed a strong chemical smell lingering even after I thought I had wiped everything down. It's been about three days and I'm really starting to worry about what I might be inhaling. Could this be a reaction to the cleaner I used, and should I be concerned about long-term effects?

It’s quite possible that the all-purpose cleaner you used is contributing to your symptoms. Many cleaning products contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other chemicals that can lead to respiratory irritation, headaches, and other health issues, especially in poorly ventilated areas like kitchens. The strong chemical smell lingering in your kitchen suggests that there may still be residues present, which could continue to impact your indoor air quality.

In the UAE, there are regulations regarding the use of hazardous substances in consumer products, but enforcement can vary. It's essential to check the labels for any safety warnings and to ensure that the product is compliant with local standards. If you notice symptoms like lightheadedness and a scratchy throat, it indicates a potential reaction to these chemicals, and it’s important to take your situation seriously.

Here are some immediate steps you can take to mitigate your exposure:

1. Ventilation: Open windows and doors to increase airflow in your kitchen. If possible, use fans to help disperse any lingering chemical fumes.

2. Cleaning Residue: Thoroughly clean the surfaces where you applied the cleaner. Use warm water and a mild soap solution to remove any residues. Make sure to wear gloves and a mask while doing this to minimize your exposure.

3. Avoid Further Use: Refrain from using the all-purpose cleaner until you have identified any potential health risks associated with it. Consider switching to natural or eco-friendly cleaning products that are less likely to contain harmful chemicals.

4. Monitor Symptoms: Keep track of your symptoms and note if they improve after taking these actions. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it’s crucial to seek medical advice.

If your symptoms continue or you have concerns about the indoor air quality in your home, I recommend contacting a professional environmental inspection service. They can conduct a thorough assessment of your indoor air quality and identify any potential sources of contamination. In Dubai, you can reach out to us at 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or you can email hello@saniservice.com for further assistance.

Your health and safety are paramount, so don’t hesitate to take action if you feel uneasy about your environment.
