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 making my kids sick?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running extra hard lately, but it doesn't seem to be cooling the space as well as it used to. Over the past few days, my kids have been complaining of runny noses and coughing more than usual, especially after they play in our living room. Could this be related to the indoor air quality? Any tips on how to improve it would be greatly appreciated.

Yep, it seems like the poor air quality could be linked to your kids' symptoms. The AC running extra hard and not cooling well might indicate that there's a build-up of dust, mold spores, or other particulates which can irritate respiratory passages especially in young ones.

In Dubai, indoor air quality is quite important due to the high temperatures during summer and the reliance on air conditioning systems. Dust mites, pet dander, pollen from outside (especially if you have open windows), and even VOCs from household products can all contribute to poor air quality.

First step would be to take a peek at your AC unit. Check for visible signs of mold or dust accumulation in the filters and evaporator coil. If it looks like there's a lot of dirt, consider replacing the filters and cleaning the coils thoroughly. This might help reduce allergens that could be contributing to your kids' discomfort.

Secondly, increase humidity control. High humidity can lead to mold growth, which is not uncommon here in Dubai. Make sure your AC dehumidifies properly or use a dedicated dehumidifier if necessary. Keeping relative humidity between 40-60% would be ideal for reducing mold and dust mite proliferation.

Regularly clean surfaces in the living room where your kids play. Dust can accumulate quickly on furniture, books, and toys. Using damp cloths to wipe down these areas can help reduce airborne particles.

Ventilation is key too. Even though ACs are efficient here, occasional cross-ventilation with windows or even opening doors for short periods can bring in fresh air and help reduce indoor pollutants. Just ensure you monitor the outdoor pollution levels before doing so as Dubai's AQI might not always be at its best.

It’s wise to consider a professional inspection if these steps don't improve conditions. Our company, Saniservice, offers comprehensive indoor air quality assessments that can pinpoint any hidden issues like mold or asbestos in older buildings. We're here to help and can guide you through the process of improving your home's air quality for healthier living.
