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.

Is AC cleaning linked to kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be causing some issues lately. For the past few weeks, I’ve noticed a strange, lingering smell coming from it, especially after they clean it. My kids have been coughing more frequently, and I can’t shake the feeling that there’s something off about how we’re cleaning their rooms. Could this be related? How do I ensure our childcare environment is safe and healthy for them? Could you recommend any specific steps or products to clean and maintain the AC and child's room to avoid these issues?

The smell from your AC unit and the increase in coughing among your kids could indeed be linked. In Dubai/UAE, it's common to have air conditioning units that filter out dust and other allergens but sometimes can harbor bacteria or mold if not cleaned properly. The lingering odour you're noticing may indicate a buildup of dirt or even mold within the system.

First off, ensure your AC is being serviced by professionals who adhere to local regulations. In the UAE, it's crucial to follow guidelines such as those provided by the Dubai Health Authority for maintaining indoor air quality and preventing respiratory issues among children. Regular maintenance should include thorough cleaning of the filters, evaporator coils, and condenser unit.

To address your specific issue, I recommend using products that are specifically designed for AC cleaning in the UAE market. Products like Micon Air Freshener or Aqua Guard UV-C Air Purifiers can help reduce odours and germs. However, always check the product labels to ensure they comply with local standards.

For the child's room, maintain good ventilation by opening windows when possible, especially after cleaning activities that could release dust particles into the air. Use HEPA filters in room air purifiers like Blueair or Honeywell models which are popular and effective for allergens and particulates.

If the issue persists despite these measures, consider having a professional inspection conducted by companies such as Saniservice. They can identify any underlying issues with your AC system that might not be visible to the naked eye.

In Dubai, it’s also wise to consult with local health authorities or pediatricians if you’re concerned about your kids' respiratory symptoms persisting. Regular check-ups and consultations can help rule out other factors contributing to their coughs.

Lastly, don’t hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS for a professional assessment of your AC system. We offer comprehensive services tailored to the UAE climate that can ensure both you and your family breathe easier in your home environment.
