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.

How can I improve indoor air quality for my kids?« Back to Previous Page

My kids have been sneezing and coughing a lot lately, especially when they’re in the living room where we spend most of our time. I've noticed that the air feels a bit stale, and there's a faint odor that seems to linger, especially in the afternoons when the sun hits the windows. We live in an apartment near Dubai Marina, and I worry that it could be affecting their health. What are some steps I can take to improve the indoor air quality in our home?

Improving indoor air quality, especially for your children, is crucial for their health and well-being. Given your location near Dubai Marina, where humidity and dust can be significant factors, there are several steps you can take to enhance the air quality in your home.

1. Ventilation: Ensure that your living space is adequately ventilated. Open windows when possible, especially during cooler parts of the day, to allow fresh air to circulate. However, be mindful of outdoor air quality and avoid opening windows when dust storms or high pollution levels are present.

2. Air Purifiers: Invest in a high-quality air purifier equipped with HEPA filters. These devices can effectively capture particulate matter, allergens, and some pollutants. Look for purifiers that have activated carbon filters to help reduce odors.

3. Humidity Control: The UAE's humidity can contribute to mold growth. Maintain indoor humidity levels between 30-50%. Using dehumidifiers can help if you notice excessive moisture, particularly in areas like bathrooms and kitchens.

4. Regular Cleaning: Dust and allergens can accumulate quickly. Vacuum your home regularly with a vacuum that has a HEPA filter and consider using damp cloths for dusting surfaces to avoid stirring up particles. Pay special attention to areas with carpets or rugs, as they can trap allergens.

5. Houseplants: Incorporating indoor plants like peace lilies or snake plants can help improve air quality by absorbing certain pollutants. However, ensure that your children are not allergic to them and that they are maintained properly to avoid mold growth in the soil.

6. Monitor for Mold: Given your concerns about odors, it’s vital to check for any signs of mold, especially in damp areas. Mold can exacerbate respiratory issues and allergies. If you suspect a serious mold problem, I recommend seeking a professional inspection. In Dubai, you can contact specialists by calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a thorough assessment.

7. Limit Indoor Pollutants: Avoid smoking indoors, and be cautious with the use of cleaning products and air fresheners, which can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Opt for natural cleaning solutions or those labeled as low-VOC.

8. Regular HVAC Maintenance: Ensure your air conditioning system is regularly serviced, as dirty filters can circulate dust and allergens. Change filters according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, typically every 1-3 months.

9. Educate Your Family: Teach your children about the importance of good indoor air quality. Simple habits like removing shoes before entering the home can help minimize dust and allergens.

By taking these steps, you can significantly improve the indoor air quality in your apartment, making it a healthier environment for your kids. If symptoms persist, don’t hesitate to seek professional advice for tailored solutions.
