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 their coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in my son’s bedroom. The windows are sealed shut most of the time due to the AC, which makes it hard for any fresh air to come in. Given that they’ve been coughing more frequently lately, could this be related to poor indoor air quality? What can I do to improve the air in their room and reduce these symptoms?

Indeed, the musty smell and increased coughing could be linked to poor indoor air quality. In the UAE, especially during heavy rain events like what you've experienced, moisture can build up inside sealed spaces, leading to mold growth and mustiness. This in turn can trigger respiratory issues such as coughs, particularly among children who are more susceptible.

To address this issue effectively, there are several steps you could take:

Firstly, inspect the area for signs of water damage or mold. You might find moisture on walls, ceilings, or around windows. If you notice any discoloration, fuzzy growth, or an unusual smell, it is highly recommended to call a professional for an inspection. In Dubai, you can reach out to us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a thorough assessment.

Secondly, try to increase ventilation in the room as much as possible, even if it means slightly adjusting your air conditioning settings. Opening windows when the weather permits can help exchange stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air, which is crucial for reducing mold spores and other allergens.

Thirdly, consider using a dehumidifier to manage humidity levels. Aim for an indoor relative humidity of 40-50%. This not only helps reduce mold but also alleviates symptoms related to allergies or asthma. Keeping the temperature at around 23°C (73°F) can be comfortable and conducive to better air quality.

Lastly, clean surfaces regularly with a solution of water and detergent to remove dust and potential allergens. Vacuuming carpets and furniture frequently is essential too.

If your son’s symptoms persist despite these measures, it might be wise to consult an indoor environmental professional for further guidance tailored specifically to the UAE standards and regulations.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality in Dubai, especially after weather events like heavy rains, can significantly improve overall health. Take action now to ensure a healthier living environment for your family!
