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 affecting my family's health?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy smoke from a building renovation next door last week, I’ve noticed a persistent acrid smell lingering in my living room. My 6-year-old has been complaining of a cough and runny nose since then. Could this be due to poor indoor air quality? What steps should we take to improve it for my family’s health?

Indoor air quality can indeed have significant impacts on your family's health. The acrid smell and symptoms that you're experiencing could very well be linked to poor indoor air quality. Smoke particles, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other irritants from the building renovation next door are common culprits.

In Dubai/UAE, we adhere closely to the laws set by the UAE Environment Agency which require buildings to maintain certain standards for indoor air quality. However, the immediate concern is whether these regulations have been impacted or compromised due to the recent smoke event.

First steps:
1. Open windows and doors if weather permits but ensure that no additional pollutants can enter.
2. Use a HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter in your central air conditioning or portable air purifiers. These filters are designed to capture fine particles such as smoke, dust, and allergens.

It's prudent to have your indoor air quality professionally inspected. In Dubai, we recommend calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a comprehensive assessment. They can provide you with accurate readings of the levels of contaminants in your home and offer tailored solutions.

In the meantime, here are some practical tips:
• Use air fresheners that do not contain harsh chemicals
• Keep indoor plants as they naturally filter the air
• Avoid using scented candles or incense sticks which might introduce more pollutants

Remember to keep an eye on the outdoor pollution levels; if it's high, try to limit your family’s time spent outdoors and use air purifiers indoors.

Lastly, if symptoms persist or worsen, consult with a healthcare provider. Your 6-year-old child is particularly vulnerable and their health should be prioritized.

Taking these steps can help improve indoor air quality and reduce potential health risks for you and your family in Dubai/UAE.
