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 new AC causing my daughter's cough?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running non-stop since we replaced it last year, but lately, there’s a strange chemical smell that's lingering in the air, especially noticeable when we first turn it on. My daughter has been complaining of a persistent cough and I’m starting to wonder if it might be related to the indoor air quality here. Could this be causing her symptoms?

It sounds like the situation could be concerning. The continuous operation of your AC and the recent introduction of an unusual chemical smell upon startup are potential indicators that something might be amiss with your indoor air quality, especially given your daughter's symptoms.

In Dubai/UAE, it is crucial to adhere to local regulations on building and environmental standards. The UAE Ministry of Public Works' Building Control Department oversees these matters, ensuring that all structures comply with the necessary codes for indoor air quality and safety. While I can't pinpoint exact violations without a professional assessment, your concerns warrant a thorough inspection.

Several factors could contribute to this issue. For instance, the AC unit itself might be malfunctioning or improperly installed, leading to inadequate ventilation or the introduction of contaminants. Other possible culprits include poor indoor air quality due to the use of certain cleaning products, presence of mold, or even construction materials that outgas harmful chemicals.

Given your daughter's persistent cough and the recent change in her environment, it would be prudent to call upon a professional environmental inspection service like Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. They will have the expertise to assess your situation accurately and provide you with a detailed report on what might be causing these issues.

In the meantime, here are some steps you can take:
1. Ensure that your AC unit is properly maintained – clean filters regularly and ensure proper airflow.
2. Open windows for natural ventilation when possible.
3. Use air purifiers equipped with HEPA filters to help improve indoor air quality.
4. Monitor humidity levels; use dehumidifiers if necessary, as high humidity can promote mold growth.

Remember, your health and that of your family's is paramount. Taking action now could save you from potential long-term effects of poor indoor air quality.
