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 bedroom air quality linked to coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I’ve noticed a persistent cough in both my son and daughter. The bedroom where they sleep seems to be the worst – there’s this weird musty smell that gets stronger at night. We’ve lived here for two years and just can’t figure out what could be causing it. Could it be related to cleaning asthma? What steps should we take to address this?

Yes, bedroom air quality can indeed be linked to coughs. In the UAE and specifically Dubai, we see many instances where indoor environmental factors contribute to respiratory issues like coughing, especially among children. The recent dust storm you mentioned could have left behind particles that are irritants for sensitive individuals.

In your case, the musty smell in the bedroom is a concern. This smell might be due to mold growth, which can thrive in damp conditions and release spores into the air. Mold can cause allergic reactions and exacerbate asthma symptoms. Given the persistent coughs in both your son and daughter, it's important to address this issue promptly.

Firstly, ensure proper ventilation in the bedroom. Open windows during the day when possible to allow fresh air circulation. Use exhaust fans or dehumidifiers if there are any areas that tend to get damp, especially near the floor level where mold spores can accumulate.

You should also consider professional inspection and remediation services. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer comprehensive mold testing and removal services. Their team can identify whether the musty smell is due to mold or other factors and help you develop a plan for addressing it.

Additionally, regular cleaning of your home is crucial. Dust mites, pet dander, and other allergens can trigger coughing episodes in sensitive individuals. Using microfiber cloths and HEPA filters during cleaning can help trap these particles more effectively than traditional methods.

If the smell persists or if symptoms worsen, it would be wise to consult a professional indoor air quality expert. They can provide further guidance tailored to your specific situation and ensure that all aspects of your home’s environment are suitable for breathing clean air.

Remember, your health is paramount. Addressing these issues now could prevent more serious respiratory problems in the future. So don't hesitate to reach out if you need assistance. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for professional help.

Keep an eye on the local weather and indoor conditions; staying proactive can make a big difference.
