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 storm last month, I’ve noticed a persistent dry cough and watery eyes whenever we spend time in my second-floor apartment. The air feels thick and stale, especially during the day when the windows are closed due to the heat. Could this be from the indoor air quality or could it be something else? Any advice on how to improve the air would be greatly appreciated. How can I test or clean the air in here effectively?

Is poor indoor air quality causing your symptoms? It's quite possible. In the UAE, especially during dust storms like the one you experienced last month, it’s common for pollutants to infiltrate our homes and cause discomfort. The thick, stale feeling of the air you described can be a sign that indoor air quality (IAQ) is compromised.

In Dubai, we often face challenges with high dust levels, heat, and humidity during certain times of the year. These factors can contribute to your symptoms such as dry coughs and watery eyes. Dust particles from outside, along with pollutants like volatile organic compounds (VOCs), can accumulate indoors when windows are closed, leading to a buildup of irritants in the air.

To test or clean the air effectively, you might want to start by improving ventilation. Opening windows for short periods during cooler times of the day can help flush out stale air and bring in fresh outdoor air. However, given that the heat is intense, it's better to use an air purifier with a HEPA filter which can capture fine particles down to 0.3 microns.

In your case, it’s advisable to have a professional indoor environmental inspection conducted by a company like ours at Saniservice. We can provide you with a detailed report and recommendations tailored specifically for the UAE conditions. Our team will use state-of-the-art equipment such as air quality monitors to assess the level of particulate matter, carbon dioxide levels, and other pollutants in your apartment.

Additionally, consider addressing sources of indoor pollution like mold or dampness, which can exacerbate respiratory issues. In Dubai, high humidity during summer months can lead to these problems, so using dehumidifiers and ensuring good ventilation is crucial.

Remember, maintaining a clean home environment by regularly cleaning carpets, curtains, and other surfaces where dust can accumulate will also help improve air quality.

If your symptoms persist despite these measures, it would be wise to consult with a healthcare professional. We are here to assist you in improving the indoor air quality of your apartment and ensuring that your health is not compromised due to poor IAQ. For more information or to schedule an inspection, feel free to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email us at hello@saniservice.com.

Let's get started on improving the air quality in your apartment and making it a healthier space for you!
