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 persistent smell be causing family health issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy smoke from a nearby construction site settled last month, I’ve noticed a persistent acrid smell lingering in our living room. My kids have been complaining of sore throats, and my partner has started to wheeze more frequently than usual. Given how long it’s been and the severity of their symptoms, is this something we should address urgently or could it just be temporary?

The persistent smell from the nearby construction site could indeed be causing health issues for your family. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, there are strict regulations regarding air quality and pollutants, especially after major construction activities. The lingering smoke you're experiencing might contain particulate matter (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), or other irritants that can cause respiratory discomfort.

Firstly, it's essential to understand that indoor air quality is critical for health, particularly in a region like Dubai where outdoor pollution levels can sometimes be high due to sandstorms and vehicular emissions. The symptoms you've observed – sore throats and increased wheezing – could suggest an allergic reaction or irritation from the smoke particles.

Given the severity of your family’s reactions, I'd recommend getting a professional indoor air quality inspection conducted as soon as possible. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice provide expert services to assess air quality and identify potential pollutants. Their team can take samples and conduct tests to determine if the smoke is causing issues in your home.

Meanwhile, there are several steps you can take temporarily:
1. Increase ventilation: Open windows when the air outside seems relatively clean to allow fresh air into your home.
2. Use an air purifier: Air purifiers with HEPA filters can help remove fine particles and odors from the air.
3. Keep your family hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help soothe sore throats and maintain moisture in the respiratory tract.

It’s also wise to monitor weather conditions, as dust storms or sandstorms might exacerbate the situation. If possible, avoid going outside during such times unless necessary.

If you notice any worsening symptoms or if your kids experience difficulty breathing, seek medical advice immediately. Remember, health should always be a top priority over convenience or cost.

In case of urgent need for assistance, you can call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection and receive professional guidance on how to improve your indoor air quality.
