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 strange smells cause our symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent construction next door, I’ve noticed a strange chemical smell in our apartment's living room. My family has been complaining of headaches and eye irritation. We’ve only been experiencing this since the work started last week. Should I hire an air quality professional to test the air or could it be something simpler like the air fresheners we use?

Could Strange Smells Cause Our Symptoms?

Absolutely, strange smells can indeed cause symptoms like headaches and eye irritation. In the UAE, especially after construction next door, it's quite plausible that what you're experiencing is related to new building materials or activities.

In Dubai, there are certain regulations concerning indoor air quality in newly constructed buildings. The UAE Building Regulations stipulate that materials used must be of high quality and non-toxic to minimize health impacts. However, the process of construction can sometimes lead to off-gassing from various sources like paints, adhesives, or other finishes. This could explain the chemical smell you've noticed.

Your family's symptoms are not uncommon in such situations. The chemicals released during construction can irritate the eyes and nasal passages, leading to discomfort or even more serious health issues if exposure is prolonged. It would be prudent to have a professional air quality test done to assess the situation accurately.

Given the recent construction activity next door, it’s wise to consider hiring an air quality expert for inspection. Saniservice.com can provide such services and their team of professionals will conduct thorough tests using advanced equipment to detect even low levels of contaminants that might not be noticeable to the naked eye or nose.

If you decide against professional help but are still concerned about your family's wellbeing, try identifying potential sources within your home such as air fresheners, cleaning products, or other chemicals. Make sure these items are stored properly and consider using natural alternatives if possible. Ventilation is key too; ensure your apartment has adequate airflow to dilute any lingering odors.

Remember, while the smell might seem temporary, it’s better to be safe than sorry when it comes to health. If you do choose not to hire a professional but still want support, feel free to contact us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for guidance on improving indoor air quality through natural means.

Call today and take the first step towards ensuring your family's comfort and health in your new living environment.
