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 making my kids sick?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running non-stop these days, even though it’s not that hot outside. The air feels thick and stuffy, especially in the living room where we spend most of our time. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits every evening, which is unusual since they don’t get sick often. Could this be due to poor indoor air quality? What can I do to improve it?

Yes, it's quite possible that poor indoor air quality could be making your kids sick. In the UAE, particularly during these hot summer months, the AC running non-stop can indeed create a stuffy and thick environment, especially when spent mostly in the living room. This might contribute to respiratory issues or exacerbate existing conditions.

Firstly, it's important to ensure that your air conditioning system is properly maintained. Dirty filters can restrict airflow and harbor bacteria and mold spores. Regular cleaning and replacement of filters should be a priority. In Dubai, the high humidity combined with temperature fluctuations can make conditions ideal for microbial growth. This could explain why your kids are having coughing fits.

To improve indoor air quality in your apartment:

1. Ventilation: Ensure that you have proper ventilation to circulate fresh air. Opening windows during cooler periods or using a fan can help. In the UAE, it's crucial to balance temperature and humidity for optimal health.

2. Humidity Control: High humidity levels can promote mold growth. Use dehumidifiers to maintain an ideal indoor relative humidity of 40-60%. This is particularly important in Dubai where outdoor humidity can be quite high even during the summer months.

3. Air Purifiers: Consider installing air purifiers, especially for areas like the living room where you spend a lot of time. These can help filter out pollutants and allergens that might be contributing to your kids' coughing.

4. Regular Cleaning: Dust and other particulates can accumulate in your home. Regular cleaning with a HEPA vacuum cleaner can help reduce these irritants.

5. Professional Inspection: If the issue persists, it would be wise to consult professionals for an indoor air quality inspection. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can offer expert evaluations and remediation services if needed. Their contact is 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com.

Remember that maintaining a healthy indoor environment in Dubai requires attention to both temperature regulation and humidity control, as well as regular maintenance of your HVAC systems. If you notice any changes in the air quality or health issues persist, it might be best to seek professional advice to ensure the safety and wellbeing of your family.
