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 from AC causing kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be cycling on and off more frequently lately, especially during the evening. It’s like it’s struggling to maintain a consistent temperature. The other day, my kids came home from school coughing really badly, which made me wonder if there might be an issue with the indoor air quality here. Could this be related? If so, is it something I should address with the landlord or am I overthinking it?

It's not uncommon for AC units to cycle on and off more frequently during certain times of the day. This could be due to several factors like external temperatures, dust accumulation, or even humidity levels. However, if this is happening more often than usual, it might indicate an issue with your system that needs attention.

Regarding your concern about the air quality in your apartment and its relation to your kids' coughs, there are a few things you should consider. In Dubai, indoor air quality (IAQ) can be affected by various factors such as dust mites, mold growth, pet dander, and even pollen from outside, especially during windy or dry seasons.

The fact that your AC seems to struggle could lead to poor circulation of clean air throughout the apartment. It's also possible that an increase in indoor pollutants is causing respiratory issues, like those experienced by your kids. These symptoms can worsen when the air conditioning isn't functioning at its best due to a buildup of dust or other particles.

Given this situation, it would be prudent to have your air quality checked professionally. In Dubai, regulations require landlords to ensure that living spaces are safe and healthy environments for tenants, but it's always good to verify with them if they've had the system serviced recently. If you feel uncomfortable addressing the issue directly with your landlord or if you suspect a serious problem, contacting an environmental inspection company like ours could be beneficial.

Remember, maintaining proper air quality is crucial in preventing respiratory issues and other health problems. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive indoor air quality assessments that can help identify potential hazards and provide solutions to improve the air you breathe at home. Don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you need more information or assistance.

In the meantime, consider improving air circulation by opening windows when weather permits, using HEPA filters in your HVAC system, and keeping humidity levels between 30% and 50%. Regularly cleaning your air conditioning filters can also help maintain a healthier indoor environment.
