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 poor indoor air quality cause my symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I’ve been noticing a persistent cough and my throat feels irritated every time I’m in the living room near the windows. The AC seems to cycle on and off more frequently too. Could this be due to poor indoor air quality? What steps should I take to improve it?

Yes, poor indoor air quality can indeed cause the symptoms you're experiencing. Heavy dust storms can introduce particulate matter and other irritants into your living space which may trigger respiratory issues. In Dubai, as we experience frequent sandstorms, it’s not uncommon for such events to affect residents' health.

The AC system running more frequently could also be a sign of poor indoor air quality; it might be trying to compensate for the influx of dust and other allergens. Considering your symptoms—coughing and throat irritation—it's wise to have an inspection done by professionals who can assess the situation thoroughly.

In Dubai, there are specific regulations concerning indoor air quality (IAQ) in residential buildings but adherence varies among owners. It’s advisable to engage a certified environmental inspector from a reputable company like Saniservice to conduct a detailed assessment of your home's IAQ. They will be able to pinpoint any issues and suggest remedial actions.

Here are some steps you can take while waiting for an inspection:
1. Use air purifiers with HEPA filters, especially in the living room.
2. Keep windows closed during sandstorms to prevent dust from entering.
3. Regularly clean your HVAC system to remove accumulated dust and debris.
4. Increase ventilation when possible by opening windows for short periods after storms.

If you decide to contact Saniservice, you can reach out via 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for your health, especially during such events as the recent dust storms in Dubai.
