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 paint fume affecting our health?« Back to Previous Page

Since we got a new neighbor who’s renovating their place next door, I’ve been noticing a stronger smell of paint in my apartment. It started about three weeks ago and it really lingers, especially at night when the windows are closed. My kids have been complaining of having sore throats and coughing more than usual. Could this be affecting our health? What can we do to clean the air better?

Absolutely, the paint fumes from your neighbor’s renovation can definitely have an impact on your health. In UAE, particularly in Dubai, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in paints and solvents are regulated under the Environment Protection Law to ensure minimal harm to public health. However, prolonged exposure even within permissible limits could still cause respiratory issues and other discomfort.

Firstly, you should consider calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. They can help assess the extent of contamination in your apartment and provide solutions tailored for Dubai's climate conditions.

In the meantime, there are some steps you can take to mitigate the situation:

1. Increase Ventilation: Whenever possible, keep windows open during the day to allow fresh air into your home. This helps dilute the concentration of paint fumes and improves indoor air quality.

2. Use Air Purifiers: Invest in an air purifier that can filter out VOCs. Models with HEPA filters are effective for this purpose. The local climate in Dubai might be warm, so consider one with a cool mist option to keep the air moist as dryness can irritate respiratory passages.

3. Humidify Your Home: Dry indoor air can exacerbate throat irritation and coughing. Using a humidifier can help maintain optimal humidity levels which are typically between 40% -60%.

4. Limit Time in Affected Areas: Try to stay away from the source of fumes, especially your children. If possible, have them sleep elsewhere.

5. Use Natural Remedies: Essential oils like lavender or tea tree oil can be used as natural air fresheners. Place a few drops on a diffuser or cotton balls around the house.

6. Monitor Your Health: Keep an eye on any persistent symptoms and if they worsen, consult a healthcare professional. The UAE has excellent medical facilities where you can get expert advice specific to your condition.

Remember, while these steps can provide relief, a professional inspection is crucial for peace of mind and effective treatment in case the situation doesn’t improve. Don't hesitate to reach out for help and ensure that you and your family remain healthy during this time.

Hope this helps!
