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 indoor air covered by insurance?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running a bit differently since last month. It’s more humid than usual, even though it hasn’t rained much lately. My kids have been complaining of headaches and coughing, especially after I turn on the air conditioner at night. Could there be something wrong with the indoor air quality here?

Indoor air quality can be a serious concern and it seems like your situation is more than just an inconvenience. The humidity increase you're experiencing could indicate issues such as mold growth or insufficient ventilation, both of which can affect the indoor air quality (IAQ) in your apartment.

In the UAE, specifically Dubai, regulations surrounding IAQ are not as stringent as those for outdoor air but they do exist. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), part of the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment, does have guidelines that indirectly pertain to indoor environments. These include recommendations on moisture control and ventilation which can be key factors in maintaining a healthy indoor atmosphere.

The headaches and coughing your kids are experiencing could indeed be related to poor air quality. When you turn on the AC at night, it might not be effectively removing humidity or allergens from the air, leading to these symptoms. It's important that you address this issue promptly because prolonged exposure to unhealthy indoor air can lead to more serious health problems.

To get a clear picture of what’s going on in your apartment, I would recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for an inspection. A professional can assess the situation and provide you with actionable recommendations based on their findings.

In the meantime, here are a few tips to help improve the air quality in your home:

1. Ensure proper ventilation: Open windows when possible, especially after using water-intensive appliances like showers or washing machines.
2. Use dehumidifiers: These can help reduce moisture levels which may be contributing to the humidity you're feeling.
3. Clean filters regularly: Check and clean the AC filters as per manufacturer instructions. Dirty filters can hinder airflow and affect air quality.
4. Monitor indoor plants: While they’re great for aesthetics, some indoor plants can produce higher levels of mold spores.

Remember, maintaining a healthy indoor environment is crucial not just for you but also for your family's well-being. If the problem persists or worsens, don't hesitate to seek professional help.
