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 old cleaning products be harming my health?« Back to Previous Page

My kitchen has been feeling really off lately, and I can't shake this nagging headache that comes and goes. I've noticed some weird cleaning products left behind by the previous tenant, and I'm worried they might be causing it. The cabinets are also kind of sticky, and I've had to clean them multiple times, but the smell just stays. Should I be concerned about any health effects from these old cleaning supplies?

Yes, old cleaning products can indeed pose health risks, especially if they contain harmful chemicals that may not have been properly stored or disposed of. In a region like the UAE, where the climate can exacerbate indoor air quality issues, it is crucial to take these concerns seriously.

Many cleaning supplies contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can lead to a range of health effects, including headaches, dizziness, and respiratory problems. The sticky residue and lingering smells you are experiencing may indicate that these products have left behind harmful residues that continue to off-gas into your indoor environment. This is especially concerning in kitchens, where food preparation occurs, and where the buildup of chemicals can lead to contamination.

The UAE has specific regulations regarding the safe use and disposal of hazardous materials, including cleaning products. It's essential to be aware of these regulations to ensure that you are not inadvertently exposing yourself or your family to harmful substances. The Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) provides guidelines on proper disposal and handling of hazardous materials.

Given your symptoms of headaches and the presence of old cleaning products, I strongly recommend seeking a professional inspection. An expert can assess the indoor air quality, identify any hazardous materials present, and provide tailored remediation solutions. Ensuring that your kitchen is safe and free from toxic residues is paramount for your health and wellbeing.

In the meantime, consider the following practical steps:

1. Ventilation: Open windows and use fans to improve air circulation in your kitchen.
2. Cleaning: Use a mixture of vinegar and water or other eco-friendly cleaning agents to remove residues, but ensure you are not mixing chemicals that could react negatively.
3. Storage: Safely dispose of any old cleaning products that you suspect may be harmful. Check with local waste management services for proper disposal methods.
4. Monitor Symptoms: Keep an eye on your headaches and other symptoms. If they persist, it’s crucial to consult a medical professional.

If the situation feels serious or if you have lingering concerns, do not hesitate to contact a professional environmental inspection service. You can reach out to us at 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or email hello@saniservice.com for further assistance. Your health is too important to ignore!
