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 dusty smell harming my family's health?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new home a few months ago, I’ve noticed a persistent dusty smell in the living room, especially after rainy days. The condition seems to worsen when my children play there, as if it’s making their coughing and sneezing worse too. Could this be due to poor ventilation or some other indoor air quality issue? What steps should I take to improve the air quality for my family's health?

Is dusty smell harming my family's health?

The dusty smell and the coughing/sneezing your children have are serious concerns. It could be due to poor ventilation, dust mites, mold, or other allergens that thrive in high humidity conditions like those after rainy days. In Dubai/UAE, the climate can indeed contribute to these issues more than you might think.

Firstly, it's important to assess if there is a mold issue. Mold growth thrives in moist environments and can produce spores that irritate the respiratory system leading to coughing, sneezing, and other allergic reactions. In the UAE, we are subject to strict regulations regarding indoor air quality, including those from EN 13788:2009 which sets out requirements for mold growth in buildings.

You should inspect your living room carefully for signs of dampness or water damage, especially near windows or where pipes pass through walls. If you find any, take immediate action to dry it out and prevent further mold growth.

To improve indoor air quality, start by ensuring proper ventilation. Open windows when the weather allows but use exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens to remove moisture. You can also consider installing an HVAC system with a high-efficiency filter to capture airborne particles and allergens.

Using dehumidifiers or air purifiers can be very effective in reducing dust and mold spores. In Dubai, where humidity levels can spike, these devices are particularly beneficial. Regularly cleaning your home using HEPA filters for vacuum cleaners is also crucial.

Professional inspection might be necessary if the issue persists. At Saniservice, we offer professional indoor air quality assessments that follow UAE regulations and standards. Our team will identify any issues such as mold or excessive dust and provide tailored solutions to improve your family's health and comfort.

Remember, your health is a priority, so act promptly. Call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on how we can assist you.
