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 poor AC causing my family's colds?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running non-stop these days, but the air still feels stuffy and smells odd. Lately, my kids have been complaining of sore throats and runny noses every morning, which makes me wonder if it’s due to the poor indoor air quality. Has anyone else noticed similar issues? Could regular cleaning routines need a tweak for better health outcomes?

The AC in your apartment running non-stop but still feeling stuffy and smelling odd could indeed be linked to poor indoor air quality. In the UAE, especially during these hot months, keeping a close eye on the air conditioning system is crucial for maintaining good health. The symptoms you're noticing - sore throats and runny noses in kids - can often be attributed to a combination of factors including indoor air quality.

In Dubai, we often see issues with mold growth, dust accumulation, and even bacteria thriving in poorly maintained AC systems. These elements can contribute significantly to respiratory problems and allergies. The stale smell you're noticing might be due to the build-up of these microorganisms or stagnant water inside the system which creates a perfect environment for them.

Given that your concerns are valid, it's highly recommended to have a professional inspection done by a company familiar with the local UAE regulations on indoor environmental quality. This will ensure that any underlying issues are identified and addressed promptly. Saniservice is one such company; their team can give you a thorough evaluation and suggest necessary steps.

In the meantime, there are some basic things you could do to improve air quality in your home:
1. Clean or replace your air filters regularly.
2. Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows when possible.
3. Use an air purifier with a HEPA filter to capture smaller particles.
4. Keep humidity levels low - around 40-60% to deter mold growth.
5. Regularly clean surfaces and areas prone to dust accumulation.

Remember, maintaining indoor air quality is key in preventing illnesses like the ones your kids are experiencing. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional for further advice.
