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 indoor air quality causing kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense sandstorm a few weeks ago, I noticed a strange odor lingering in my living room. The air feels heavy and stuffy, even with the AC running non-stop. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits and I’m worried it might be due to poor indoor air quality. Should I consider hiring an air quality specialist or is there something basic I can do myself?

Indoor air quality can indeed be a serious concern especially after an intense sandstorm. The UAE, including Dubai, has its own set of environmental regulations and guidelines for indoor air but the aftermath of such storms can certainly introduce particulates that may affect air quality.

The symptoms your kids are experiencing could very well be linked to poor indoor air quality. Sand particles, dust, pollen, mold spores, and even volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from household products might all contribute to a heavy, stuffy feeling and coughing fits in the living room environment you described.

Firstly, ensure the HVAC system is functioning properly after the sandstorm. Filter replacements or cleaning may be necessary as dust and other particulates can accumulate. Make sure that the air filters are clean and check if there’s any dirt or debris blocking the vents.

Additionally, increasing indoor humidity levels might help alleviate some of the issues, especially for your children. Aim to keep it between 40-60% relative humidity using dehumidifiers. This helps prevent mold growth which can exacerbate respiratory issues.

Ventilation is key in maintaining healthy indoor air quality. Try to open windows when the air outside is clean and dry. If you’re concerned about dust or particulates, consider purchasing a HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter for your AC system or a standalone unit that can circulate cleaner air through the house.

If the issues persist despite these measures, it would be wise to seek professional assistance. The UAE and Dubai have standards for indoor air quality, but identifying specific issues often requires expertise. A professional inspection could help pinpoint any hidden problems such as mold growth or asbestos (though not common in modern buildings). Contacting a company like Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com can provide you with an assessment and recommendations tailored to your home.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for everyone’s health but especially important for children. Taking proactive steps now might prevent more serious issues down the line.
