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 renovation cause persistent coughs?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new apartment a few months ago, I’ve noticed a persistent cough in both myself and my partner. The symptoms started after we renovated part of the living room about three weeks back. We’re trying to figure out if it’s something we can handle on our own or if we need professional help to ensure everything is safe. Have you experienced similar issues after renovations, and how did you address them?

Could renovation cause persistent coughs?

Renovation can indeed lead to health issues such as persistent coughing. After all the dust and potential contaminants from paint, adhesives, and other materials settle, it's common for residents to experience respiratory symptoms like coughing, especially if they are sensitive or have pre-existing conditions.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, the climate can exacerbate these symptoms due to high humidity levels during summer. Additionally, renovations often expose you to allergens and irritants that may not be present before the work starts. For instance, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from paints, varnishes, and adhesives, as well as particulate matter from sanding or cutting, can linger in your living space.

From my experience with similar cases, it's crucial to monitor yourself closely. If you're experiencing a persistent cough after renovation, it might be wise to get the air quality checked by professionals who specialize in this area. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice provide comprehensive indoor environmental assessments that include testing for mold, VOCs, and other contaminants.

The Emirati laws regarding indoor air quality are stringent, especially when it comes to building regulations (Federal Law No. 14 of 2008). However, once a property is occupied, the onus shifts towards ensuring ongoing safety and health compliance. It's essential to ensure that the renovation work adheres to local standards and guidelines.

If you decide not to seek professional assistance, there are steps you can take at home:
• Increase ventilation by opening windows when possible.
• Use air purifiers with HEPA filters to capture tiny particles.
• Keep pets out of areas being renovated.
• Wear masks during activities that generate dust or fumes.

But given the potential for serious health issues, I recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com. They can help you navigate through this process and ensure your home is safe for everyone to live in comfortably.

Remember, early intervention often leads to better outcomes when it comes to indoor air quality and health concerns.
