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 quality affected by construction smoke?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy smoke from nearby construction hit our building last week, I’ve been noticing a strange smell in the living room. My daughter has had a persistent cough since then, and my husband complains of headaches when we stay indoors longer than usual. The air feels stuffy even with the fans running. Could this be related to the smoke? What can we do to improve the indoor air quality here?

Is indoor air quality affected by construction smoke?

Absolutely, it can be. In the UAE and Dubai specifically, the proximity to ongoing construction projects often brings in a lot of dust, particulate matter, and other pollutants that can definitely impact indoor air quality (IAQ). Smoke from nearby work sites can carry fine particles and volatile organic compounds that are harmful when inhaled over time.

In your case, you've noticed some unpleasant smells, coughing in your daughter, and headaches for your husband. These could be a result of the smoke affecting your home's air quality. The stuffiness felt even with fans on might indicate an increase in particulates or other irritants making it harder to circulate fresh air.

Given the situation, I'd recommend checking out the indoor air quality as soon as possible. You can call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a professional inspection and remediation service. They'll be able to assess your home's IAQ thoroughly and suggest any necessary actions.

In the meantime, here are some steps you can take:
1. Open windows if possible to allow fresh air in. But make sure it’s not windy or dusty outside.
2. Use an air purifier with a HEPA filter to help remove small particles from the air.
3. Keep your HVAC system clean and check for any filters that may need changing.
4. Limit activities that generate dust, like sweeping or vacuuming, until the situation improves.

Remember, maintaining good IAQ is crucial, especially during periods of poor outdoor air quality such as those caused by construction smoke. Regular checks can help ensure a healthier living environment for you and your family.
