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 non-stop these days, but even with it on, there's still a stale air feeling in the living room. My kids have been coughing more often, especially at night, and I’ve noticed some strange dust settling on surfaces that don’t usually accumulate much. Could this be due to poor indoor air quality? What steps should I take to improve the situation?

Yes, poor indoor air quality could be the culprit behind your kids' coughs. In Dubai and Abu Dhabi, we often experience high humidity levels that can lead to mold growth and dust mite proliferation – both of which are common triggers for respiratory issues among children.

Firstly, it’s important to recognize that AC systems alone might not be sufficient in tackling indoor air quality problems. While your unit may be running non-stop, it's possible that the air isn’t being properly filtered or circulated. This could lead to stale air and an accumulation of pollutants like dust mites, pet dander, pollen, and mold spores.

To address this issue effectively, consider these steps:

1. Air Quality Inspection: Engage a professional for an indoor air quality inspection. They can use tools to measure the levels of carbon dioxide, particulate matter, and other contaminants. In the UAE, companies like Saniservice can offer such services. You might want to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com.

2. HVAC Maintenance: Ensure your air conditioning system is well-maintained. Regular cleaning of filters and ductwork can significantly improve air quality. In Dubai, HVAC companies like GreenAir and EcoCooling are known for their reliable services.

3. Humidity Control: Use dehumidifiers or humidifiers to keep indoor humidity levels between 40-60%. This helps prevent mold growth and reduces dust mites. You can find suitable models at local electronics stores such as Al Muntaha Mall and Gold Souk.

4. Dust Management: Regularly clean your home using HEPA filters in vacuum cleaners or a high-quality air purifier like the Blueair Classic 301, which is popular in UAE homes. This can help reduce dust mites and other allergens.

5. Ventilation: Increase natural ventilation by opening windows when weather permits. However, keep an eye on outdoor pollution levels; during high PM2.5 days or extreme heat, it might be better to use your air conditioner with recirculation mode instead.

6. Planting Indoor Plants: Certain plants like snake plants and spider plants can help purify the air naturally. While not a replacement for proper HVAC maintenance, they can complement your efforts to improve indoor air quality.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for everyone’s health, but especially important for children who are more susceptible to respiratory issues. By addressing these points, you should see an improvement in both the air quality and your kids' overall comfort and health.

Take action now to ensure a healthier living environment for your family.
