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 symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms last month, I noticed a persistent cough and sneezing whenever we stay in our living room, which has been particularly bad since my partner started working from home. The air feels thick and itchy, especially in the mornings when we open the windows. Could this be due to poor indoor cleaning practices or is there something else I should look into?

Is poor indoor air quality causing your symptoms? It's quite plausible given the recent dust storms and the conditions you've described. In Dubai/UAE, we often experience harsh weather conditions that can impact our living spaces, especially when it comes to airborne particles.

Firstly, the thick feeling in the air could be due to a mix of factors including dust from the storm, which has settled on surfaces and is now circulating with your daily activities. Additionally, if you have pets or a lot of indoor plants, they can contribute to higher levels of particulate matter. Dust mites, mold spores, and pet dander are common culprits in exacerbating respiratory issues like coughing and sneezing.

In the UAE, it's important to adhere to local health guidelines and regulations. For instance, after a dust storm, thorough cleaning is recommended to minimize the presence of these irritants. Use HEPA filters in your air purifiers or consider investing in one if you haven't already. These can be particularly beneficial as they capture tiny particles that might otherwise go unnoticed.

It's also worth checking for signs of mold growth, especially considering how thick and itchy the air feels. Mold thrives in damp conditions and can produce spores that irritate your respiratory system. If you notice any discoloration on walls or ceilings, or if there's a musty smell, professional inspection might be necessary to address potential mold issues.

Given the severity of your symptoms, I'd recommend getting an indoor air quality test done by a professional company like ours. We can assess the levels of various pollutants and provide tailored cleaning recommendations. If you're in Dubai, give us a call at 800-MOLDS or email us at hello@saniservice.com for more information.

Remember, maintaining good indoor hygiene is crucial during such times. Regularly clean surfaces with a damp cloth to reduce dust accumulation. Ensure your home is well-ventilated but keep an eye on humidity levels as high moisture can promote mold growth.

By addressing these issues promptly and taking preventive measures, you should see an improvement in the air quality of your living room and hopefully relief from those persistent coughing spells and sneezes.
