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 new carpet cause chemical odor and cough?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new apartment a few months ago, I’ve noticed an odd, lingering smell in the carpet of my living room that seems to get worse after vacuuming. It’s not moldy or musty but more like a chemical odor that lingers in the air even hours later. My 6-year-old has been complaining about a persistent cough and it started around the time we moved in. Has anyone else experienced similar issues with new carpets, or could this be linked to any potential health concerns?

Could new carpet cause chemical odor and cough?

Absolutely. In Dubai/UAE, we frequently encounter issues linked to new carpets causing both chemical odors and respiratory concerns like coughs. The smell you're experiencing is quite common and can be traced back to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in many synthetic carpets.

In the UAE, regulations around indoor air quality are stringent but not always fully enforced. Carpets off-gassing VOCs such as formaldehyde, benzene, and others can contribute to an unpleasant smell that persists even after vacuuming. These chemicals can irritate your child's respiratory system leading to coughs. Children are particularly sensitive due to their developing lungs.

It’s important to remember that while the odor might be a bit strong initially, it usually decreases over time as the carpet outgasses. However, if the smell is persistent or you and your family members experience symptoms like headaches, eye irritation, or breathing difficulties, it's wise to get an inspection done by a professional.

I would recommend contacting a company that specializes in environmental inspections here in Dubai such as Saniservice. Their team can conduct thorough testing and provide a detailed report on the quality of your indoor air. If necessary, they can also advise you on remediation steps or suggest alternatives for healthier flooring options.

Remember to keep good ventilation by opening windows when possible and using fans to help circulate fresh air. Avoid using strong perfumes or cleaning agents as these can exacerbate the situation. Also, regularly vacuuming with a HEPA filter can trap more particles but won't eliminate the off-gassing entirely.
