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 air quality causing family health issues?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running constantly these days, but it doesn’t seem to be cooling the place as well as before. The air feels sticky and heavy, especially after the summer rainstorms we had last month. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits and sneezing, and I’m starting to wonder if there’s something off about the indoor air quality here. Could this be related? Any advice on what might be causing it and how to improve the situation?

Absolutely! The situation you're describing is very common during the summer months in Dubai and can indeed be linked to indoor air quality issues. The heavy humidity after rainstorms, combined with the constant operation of your AC system, could be contributing to a less-than-ideal environment inside your apartment.

In Dubai, especially post-rainfall, moisture levels can increase significantly, leading to dampness which is a prime breeding ground for mold and mildew. Mold thrives in warm and humid conditions like those you're experiencing, and it's known to cause respiratory issues and allergic reactions—exactly what your kids are complaining about.

Firstly, make sure the AC unit itself isn't the culprit by checking its filters; clogged or dirty filters can lead to poor air circulation. Also, ensure that there’s no leakage in your AC system which could be leading to excess moisture being released into the environment.

You should also look out for any signs of water damage or mold growth around windows, walls, and even inside cabinets or under floors. Mold spores are notorious allergens and can irritate the respiratory tract causing coughing fits and sneezing, especially in children.

Given that your kids have been experiencing these symptoms, it would be wise to have a professional indoor air quality inspection. In Dubai, regulations require all new buildings to undergo regular inspections, but existing ones like yours might benefit from an assessment too. Companies like Saniservice offer professional mold and indoor air quality testing which can pinpoint the exact cause of your concerns.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation. They will provide you with detailed reports on what’s causing the issue and recommend corrective actions such as dehumidifiers, better AC maintenance, or even mold remediation if necessary.

In the meantime, try to improve air circulation by opening windows (when it's not too humid) and using fans to help dry out your home. Keeping indoor plants can also be beneficial as they naturally absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, improving overall air quality.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key to a healthy living environment, especially for children. Don't hesitate to seek professional advice if you're concerned about the air in your home!
