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 my kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running more than usual lately, almost constantly, and I’ve started noticing a strange odor that’s been lingering even after I’ve turned it off. My kids have both been complaining of coughing fits at night, which didn’t happen before. Could this be due to poor indoor air quality? What steps should we take to improve the situation?

Yes, it sounds like poor indoor air quality might be causing your kids' coughs. In Dubai and the UAE, we frequently encounter issues such as this due to the climate and the way buildings are designed. The AC running constantly can indicate high levels of humidity or dust in your apartment, which could be triggering respiratory issues.

Firstly, you should consider calling a professional for an inspection. Here in the UAE, you can reach out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email them at hello@saniservice.com. They have experts who can assess your apartment's indoor air quality and recommend necessary steps.

In the meantime, here are a few practical actions you can take:

1. Air Purification: Invest in an air purifier with HEPA filters to help remove allergens, dust mites, and other pollutants from the air.
2. Humidity Control: Ensure your AC is set at the right humidity level (typically around 40-60%). High humidity can lead to mold growth which could be contributing to your kids' coughs.
3. Ventilation: Open windows or use exhaust fans when cooking and showering to reduce moisture in the air. Even a short burst of fresh air from time to time can help.
4. Regular Cleaning: Dust and clean surfaces regularly, especially those that are hard to reach as dust can build up quickly.
5. Duct Inspection: Check your HVAC system's ducts for any signs of damage or buildup which could be causing issues with the air flow.

Remember, in Dubai, we often see high levels of outdoor pollution affecting indoor air quality too, so it’s important to address both internal and external factors.

By taking these steps, you should start seeing improvements. But if symptoms persist, a professional inspection is essential to ensure your family's health and comfort.

Take care!
