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 coil cleaning linked to kitchen odor and health issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent renovation of our kitchen, which included replacing old wiring and adding new appliances, I’ve been experiencing a strange smell coming from the air vents. It’s not as strong as moldy bread but more like damp fabric or mustiness. My kids have started complaining about feeling dizzy and having headaches whenever they’re in certain rooms, especially near the kitchen area where we have the main AC unit. Could this be related to coil cleaning gone wrong during the renovation?

Coil cleaning can indeed be linked to kitchen odors and health issues. In the UAE, specifically Dubai, our climate's high humidity and summer heat create an environment where coils can accumulate dirt, bacteria, and mold. These factors combined with recent renovations like those in your kitchen could lead to such issues.

The smell you're describing - damp fabric or mustiness - sounds suspiciously similar to mold growth. Mold spores are common in AC systems due to the presence of moisture and organic matter on coils. Given that you've just had a renovation, it's possible that the cleaning process might have disrupted dormant mold colonies, releasing spores into your home.

Regarding health issues like dizziness and headaches, these can be attributed to various factors including poor air quality from mold or dust particles in the air. In Dubai, it’s important to keep indoor environments clean and well-ventilated to avoid such problems.

I recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. An expert can assess your AC system and determine if there are any issues with the coils that need cleaning or if there's an underlying mold problem in your home. Remember, regular maintenance of your HVAC system is crucial to maintaining good indoor air quality.

Taking proactive steps like ensuring proper ventilation during cooking, using exhaust fans, and keeping humidity levels down can also help prevent such odors from developing. Don’t forget to check for any water leaks or dampness around the AC unit as these could be fostering mold growth.

Stay vigilant and proactive about your home's environmental health – it’s important for you and your family’s well-being!
