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 harming my daughter's health?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy sandstorms we had last week, I’ve noticed my daughter has been coughing more than usual, especially at night when we turn on the air purifier. The bedroom where she sleeps seems to be the worst affected area. How urgent is it to address this issue, and what can we do immediately to improve the air quality in her room?

Yes, poor air quality can definitely harm your daughter's health. After the recent sandstorms in Dubai, it’s no surprise that you're noticing increased coughing, especially at night when using an air purifier. The particulate matter and allergens from the storms could be exacerbating her asthma symptoms.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we often face issues with outdoor pollution and indoor contaminants. It's crucial to address this issue promptly as prolonged exposure can lead to respiratory problems worsening or even triggering attacks. In your case, given that the bedroom is the worst affected area, it’s important to take immediate action.

Firstly, ensure you are using a HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter in her room as these filters are specifically designed to capture fine particles like those from sandstorms and dust mites. Run the air purifier continuously during times of high pollution or when she's sleeping. Additionally, keep windows closed to prevent outdoor pollutants from entering.

To improve indoor air quality further, consider using an air humidifier with a HEPA filter if you don’t already have one. Dry air can irritate the respiratory system and increase the risk of infections, so maintaining proper humidity levels is key.

Vacuuming regularly with a HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaner will help reduce dust and allergens in her bedroom. Also, washing bedding and curtains frequently in hot water (above 50°C) can kill mites and remove other irritants.

Given the specific conditions in Dubai, it might be wise to have your home inspected by professionals who specialize in indoor environmental quality. They can assess the situation more thoroughly and provide tailored recommendations based on the unique challenges of living in the UAE.

If her symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical advice from a pediatrician familiar with asthma cases in the region. They may recommend additional treatments or adjustments to her existing plan.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you need professional assistance to clean and decontaminate your home environment. Remember, addressing this issue quickly can significantly improve your daughter's comfort and health.

Take care!
