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 my son's coughing?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running non-stop since we got a new unit last month, but there's still this odd misty feeling in the air that doesn't seem to go away. It’s especially noticeable when I enter the living room where my son has been coughing more frequently lately. Could it be something wrong with the air quality or is it just humidity?

It sounds like you're experiencing some concerning symptoms and it's definitely worth looking into the air quality of your apartment. The continuous operation of your AC unit could be a sign that there are issues, possibly related to humidity or even other factors like mold growth. In Dubai and the UAE in general, we often face challenges with indoor air quality due to high levels of dust, pollen, and sometimes poor ventilation which can exacerbate respiratory issues.

The misty feeling you're experiencing might not just be due to humidity but could indicate a higher moisture level that AC alone isn't managing properly. This is particularly important given the recent change in your AC unit. In Dubai, it's advised to maintain a relative humidity of around 40-60% for optimal comfort and health.

The coughing from your son could indeed be linked to poor air quality. Dust mites, mold spores, pollen, and even volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by furniture or cleaning products can irritate the respiratory system. These factors are more common in closed spaces like living rooms and bedrooms where people spend a lot of time.

First steps you could take include checking for signs of mold growth around your AC unit and other areas of your apartment. Mold thrives in damp conditions, which might explain why it's not being controlled by the AC alone. You can also invest in an air quality monitor to get a better understanding of what’s happening inside your home.

If you're still unsure or if things don't improve after some basic troubleshooting, I'd recommend contacting a professional for an inspection. Here at Saniservice, we offer comprehensive indoor air quality assessments that can help identify and address the root causes of issues like yours. We can provide solutions from air purifiers to ventilation systems tailored specifically for Dubai's climate.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial in protecting your family’s health, especially during these changing times when indoor spaces are more critical than ever. So don't hesitate to reach out if you need further advice or assistance.
