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 since the heat wave hit last week, but it's not feeling as cool inside as usual. There’s a musty odor that’s been building up, especially when the air conditioning is on high. My kids have been complaining of coughing and stuffiness, which has me worried about indoor air quality. Could this be causing their symptoms?

Yeah, it sounds like y'all might be dealing with some indoor air quality issues. With the heat wave hitting Dubai and the AC running non-stop, it's not surprising that things aren't as cool inside or that you're noticing a musty smell, especially when the AC is on high. This combination can create an environment where humidity levels rise, leading to mold growth which could be causing those coughs and stuffiness your kids are complaining about.

Mold spores in the air can irritate your respiratory system, potentially triggering or worsening allergies, asthma, and other respiratory conditions. It’s important to assess the indoor air quality as soon as possible because prolonged exposure to such conditions could have serious health implications for you and your family, especially if your kids are already sensitive.

According to UAE building regulations and guidelines, it's recommended that you get a professional inspection done. The guys from Saniservice, who can be reached at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or via email at hello@saniservice.com, have the expertise and tools needed to assess your apartment's environment properly.

In the meantime, there are some steps you can take to improve air quality. Make sure all windows in your home are closed tightly to keep out outdoor pollutants, but remember to still let in fresh air if possible. You might also want to invest in a good-quality air purifier to help remove allergens and other particles from the air.

Regularly check for signs of moisture or water damage around your apartment as these can be breeding grounds for mold. If you spot any issues, address them promptly by fixing leaks or addressing dampness.

Remember, keeping an eye on indoor humidity levels is key. A dehumidifier could help reduce excess moisture in the air, making it less hospitable for mold growth. You should aim to keep your apartment's relative humidity between 30% and 50%.

If you notice any changes in your family’s health or if things don’t improve with these steps, definitely give Saniservice a call. They can provide more specialized advice tailored to the unique conditions of your home.

Stay healthy!
