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 constantly these days, even though it's not that hot outside. Lately, there's a strange dampness that lingers in the air, especially after the recent rains. My kids have been complaining of coughing and I can’t shake the feeling that something isn't right. Is this just a coincidence or could there be an issue with the indoor air quality?

It sounds like you might be experiencing issues related to indoor air quality which can indeed affect your family's health. In the UAE, especially in areas such as Dubai, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial due to the climate and the frequent use of air conditioning systems.

The constant running of AC despite mild outdoor temperatures could indicate an issue with either the cooling system or the surrounding environment. The dampness you're noticing might be a sign that there's excess moisture which can lead to mold growth, particularly after recent rains. Mold spores are known allergens and can trigger respiratory issues in children.

Your kids' coughing could very well be linked to poor indoor air quality. In Dubai, where the climate is typically dry but sudden changes can occur, it’s important to keep an eye on humidity levels. A dehumidifier might help reduce moisture in your home, but a more comprehensive solution would involve professional inspection.

The UAE does have regulations around indoor environments and health, including standards for air quality and mold control. However, the specific guidelines may not directly address every situation, which is why it's wise to seek expert advice.

I'd recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a thorough inspection of your apartment’s air quality and any potential mold issues. Professional services can provide you with accurate assessments and necessary remediation steps.

In the meantime, ensure that windows are opened occasionally (weather permitting) to allow some fresh air in. Also, check if there's any water leakage or condensation on walls which could be contributing to moisture levels. Keeping indoor plants away from areas where AC units are located can also help reduce humidity.

Remember, maintaining good air quality is key for everyone's health and especially important for children. Stay proactive about your home environment and don't hesitate to seek professional help if you're concerned.
