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 carpet odor making family sick?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy cleaning they did a few days ago in our new villa, I’ve noticed a strange lingering odor that’s making me and my family feel unwell. The smell is coming from the carpet in the living room, and it’s really bothering us. My kids have started to cough more than usual, and I’m worried about what could be causing this. Could this be due to poor cleaning practices or something else?

Yes, the smell from the carpet can indeed make family members sick. The odor could be due to poor cleaning practices, inadequate air ventilation during and after the cleaning process, or even residual chemicals that might have been left behind by the cleaners.

In the UAE, specifically in Dubai, we are required to follow certain environmental regulations when it comes to indoor spaces like your villa. Ensuring a clean environment is not only about removing dirt but also eliminating potential allergens and pollutants which can cause respiratory issues, especially among children.

When you had the cleaning done recently, it's important that thorough steps were taken to ensure all residues were removed. Sometimes, carpets can trap dust mites, pet dander, and other allergens which release unpleasant odors over time. These substances can also lead to coughing and respiratory discomfort, especially in kids whose immune systems are still developing.

Given the situation you're experiencing, it would be prudent to have a professional inspection done. This way, experts can assess whether there were any oversights during the cleaning process or if something else might be contributing to the smell. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer such services and they can help identify potential issues and provide appropriate solutions.

To avoid similar situations in the future, make sure that:
• The cleaners use eco-friendly products which are less likely to leave behind harmful residues.
• Proper ventilation is maintained during the cleaning process to allow fresh air flow.
• After cleaning, ensure the carpets are dried completely to prevent mold growth.
• Regular maintenance checks can also help keep your home environment healthy.

If you decide to seek professional assistance, feel free to contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com. They will be able to provide a detailed report and recommend the necessary actions to make your living room safe and comfortable once again.

Remember, your health is paramount, so don't hesitate to take action if you feel something isn’t right!
