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 extra hard these past few days, but the air still feels stuffy and heavy. It's particularly noticeable right after we open the windows to let some fresh air in; there’s a strange odor that lingers for hours. My kids have been complaining of a persistent cough and I’m worried it might be related to the indoor air quality. Could this be due to mold or dust mites, or is it just me being overly concerned?

It sounds like the air quality in your apartment might indeed be affecting your kids' health. With temperatures soaring and humidity levels high in Dubai during certain times of the year, it's no surprise that you're noticing issues with your AC system and indoor air quality.

First off, the heavy feeling and strange odour after opening windows can indicate a few things. Mold growth or dust mites might be to blame, especially if there’s an unpleasant smell lingering for hours post-ventilation. Mold thrives in damp environments and can produce spores that irritate respiratory systems, while dust mites are common allergens found in fabrics and carpets.

Given the symptoms your kids are experiencing—persistent coughs—it would be wise to have a professional inspection done. The UAE, including Dubai, has regulations on indoor air quality but it's always good to ensure compliance. A certified environmental expert can identify potential issues like mold or dust mite infestations and suggest remediation methods.

If you decide to act now, contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a thorough inspection and guidance on improving your home's air quality. We offer services tailored to the local climate conditions and can help create a healthier environment for you and your family.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial in preventing health issues like allergies, asthma, and even respiratory infections. Taking proactive steps now could save you from bigger problems later.

Stay healthy!
