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 cleaning airborne dangerous in my home?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running extra loud lately, almost like there’s a constant hiss of air. Ever since we turned it on after the summer heat, I’ve been experiencing a persistent cough and my throat feels scratchy. My kids have also started sneezing more than usual. Could this be due to poor air quality or some kind of allergen? What should I do to clean the air better in our home?

Cleaning airborne contaminants in your home is definitely important and can be quite beneficial. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, our climate often involves high humidity levels during certain times of the year, which can lead to an increase in airborne allergens and mold spores. Your symptoms suggest that there might indeed be some issues with air quality in your apartment.

Firstly, it's important to recognize that the constant hiss from your AC unit could indicate a few things – it may just need maintenance or it could signal a more serious issue such as blocked filters, worn-out components, or even an underlying mold problem. Given the UAE's climate and the recent use of air conditioning after summer, these symptoms point towards the possibility that there are allergens in your indoor environment.

Before jumping into cleaning efforts, I would recommend scheduling a professional inspection with a company that specializes in environmental inspections and remediation like Saniservice. They can provide you with a thorough assessment of your home's air quality and identify any potential sources of contamination. This step is particularly crucial as it ensures that any issues are addressed properly.

In the meantime, here are some steps you can take to improve indoor air quality:

1. Air Filter Replacement: Change or clean the filters in your HVAC system regularly. In Dubai, given the dust and pollen, changing them every 30 days might be necessary.
2. Ventilation: Ensure that your apartment has proper ventilation by opening windows when weather permits. This can help reduce indoor humidity which is a breeding ground for mold and allergens.
3. Humidity Control: Use dehumidifiers to keep the relative humidity below 60%. High levels of moisture encourage the growth of mold, dust mites, and other irritants.
4. Cleaning Practices: Regularly clean your home with a vacuum cleaner that has HEPA filters. This helps capture tiny particles like pollen, dust mite debris, and pet dander which can cause allergic reactions.

Remember to keep an eye on your family's health and seek medical advice if symptoms persist or worsen. If you notice any musty smells or see signs of water damage, it’s crucial to address these immediately as they can signal mold growth. Keeping your home clean and well-maintained is key but for serious issues, a professional inspection will give you peace of mind.
