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 humidifier causing indoor air quality issues?« Back to Previous Page

Since we got the new humidifier last month, I’ve noticed a strange odor coming from my bedroom, especially at night. The smell is somewhat metallic and it’s making me feel light-headed. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits too, even though they don’t seem to have caught anything contagious. Could this be related to indoor air quality? What should I do?

The smell you're experiencing could indeed be related to indoor air quality. Given the metallic odor and its presence at night, it's possible that your humidifier might be causing issues. In Dubai and across UAE, there are specific guidelines regarding indoor air quality which you should consider.

Firstly, check if your humidifier needs maintenance or cleaning. Buildup of minerals, mold, or bacteria in a humidifier can lead to unpleasant odors and affect air quality. It's important to clean the reservoir, replace any filters, and ensure that the humidifier is properly disinfected before use. In UAE, it’s recommended to do this every week during operation.

Secondly, ensure that your home is well-ventilated. Even with a humidifier, proper ventilation can help reduce moisture levels which may be contributing to mold growth or other issues. Open windows when you can and consider using exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens where humidity tends to accumulate more easily.

If the problem persists despite maintenance of your equipment and good ventilation practices, it might be time for a professional inspection. In Dubai, regulations require that all buildings maintain indoor air quality that is safe and healthy for occupants. A professional environmental inspector can help identify the source of the odor and provide remediation solutions tailored to your specific situation.

Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com if you need assistance with this process. They have experience in Dubai and can help ensure that both your humidifier and overall indoor environment are clean and safe for you and your family.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial to prevent respiratory issues and other health problems. Take the necessary steps today to ensure a healthier home environment for yourself and your loved ones.
