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 respiratory issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in my bedroom, even with the windows open. The AC in my apartment seems to cycle it through the whole house, and now both my kids have been coughing more than usual since we installed new carpet in that room about a week ago. Could this be causing respiratory issues?

Absolutely, new carpet can indeed cause respiratory issues. In dubai and the uae, we've seen cases where freshly installed carpets have led to similar concerns. The musty smell you're experiencing could be due to moisture retained within the carpet fibers or from beneath it, which might harbor mold spores, bacteria, or other allergens. This scenario is quite common especially after rainy seasons as your experience shows.

The combination of a musty smell and kids coughing upsets me. In dubai, we follow certain regulations set by the emirates to ensure indoor air quality meets standards for health. But sometimes, especially with new installations like carpets, things can go unnoticed or overlooked until they become problematic.

Firstly, i'd advise you to take a closer look at your carpet installation and check if there are any signs of moisture around it. Ensure that the area beneath is well-ventilated and dry. If you see any pooling water or dampness, it's crucial to address this quickly before mold growth sets in.

If the issue persists, i strongly recommend reaching out for a professional inspection. Here in dubai, companies like saniservice.com offer comprehensive air quality checks that can identify potential sources of indoor pollution. They have the tools and expertise to determine if there are any hidden allergens or contaminants contributing to your family's discomfort.

In the meantime, keep windows open where possible to improve ventilation but avoid direct drafts on the carpeted area as this could exacerbate moisture issues. Also, consider using a dehumidifier in that room to help control humidity levels.

Remember, it's important to take these symptoms seriously and seek professional advice. If you're still unsure or if anyone in your household experiences worsening symptoms, don't hesitate to consult with a healthcare provider who can offer guidance specific to your situation.

Call 800-MOLDS for an inspection or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule one. Your health is paramount, and addressing these issues early on will help prevent more serious problems in the future.
