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 our symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy fog we had last week, I noticed a strange haze settling on our living room furniture. My daughter has been complaining of a stuffy nose and my husband’s asthma seems to be acting up more than usual. Has anyone else experienced similar symptoms? Could this be due to the air quality in Dubai recently?

Is poor air quality causing our symptoms? It's quite possible. The recent foggy weather can indeed lead to some serious health issues, especially for those who are more susceptible like children and individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we often experience unusual weather patterns that can affect indoor air quality. Fog can bring about a variety of particulate matter from outside into our homes, including dust, pollen, and even microscopic pollutants that can irritate your nose and exacerbate asthma symptoms. This could explain why you're noticing strange haze on the furniture and why both your daughter's stuffy nose and your husband's asthma are acting up.

In such conditions, it’s important to be aware of the air quality in your home. The UAE has its own guidelines for indoor air quality (IAQ), though they may not always cover all potential pollutants that can arise during unusual weather events like fog.

For a comprehensive evaluation of the air quality and to address any concerns you might have, I would recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com. They offer professional inspection services which can help identify any issues and provide recommendations for improvement.

In the meantime, here are some practical steps you could take:
• Increase ventilation by opening windows when possible, but ensure it’s done in a controlled manner to avoid bringing in more external pollutants.
• Use air purifiers that have HEPA filters to trap small particles. These can be particularly beneficial during such times.
• Keep indoor surfaces clean and dust-free. Regular cleaning can help reduce the amount of allergens and irritants.
• Monitor the outdoor air quality through local reports, which are often available on various news channels or websites.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for everyone's health, especially when external conditions aren’t ideal. If your symptoms persist or worsen, seeking medical advice from a healthcare professional is also advisable.
