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 when it’s not particularly hot. Yesterday, after coming home from a long day at work, I noticed a persistent coughing fit in both of my children. The air feels thick and heavy, and there's a faint odor that reminds me of old books. Could this be related to the indoor air quality? What should I do to improve it for my family’s health?

Absolutely could be related to the indoor air quality. In Dubai and the UAE, we often experience high humidity and temperature swings which can impact the air inside our homes. The AC running non-stop might just mean it's working overtime to keep up with these conditions, but there are a few other factors that could be causing those symptoms in your kids.

Firstly, the thick, heavy feeling of the air along with the smell reminiscent of old books sounds suspicious. This odor can hint at mold or mildew growth, which is more common in humid conditions. Mold and mildew release spores into the air that can irritate respiratory systems—especially affecting children who might be more sensitive to such irritants.

Additionally, poor ventilation could be a key factor here. In Dubai, we often have limited natural airflow due to our climate and building designs. This can lead to stagnant indoor air, where pollutants like dust mites, pet dander, or even volatile organic compounds from household cleaning products might accumulate, leading to respiratory issues.

What should you do? Start by improving your home's ventilation. If possible, open windows during cooler times of the day for a natural breeze. Also, consider using an air purifier with HEPA filters which can effectively remove tiny particles and allergens like dust mites and pollen from the air.

Next, inspect areas where mold could be more likely to grow – such as bathrooms or any damp spots in your apartment. Look out for any signs of moisture damage on walls or ceilings. If you notice anything suspicious, it's highly recommended that you call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection and remediation.

Lastly, keep an eye on the AC maintenance schedule to ensure it’s running efficiently. Regular cleaning and servicing can prevent further issues related to poor air circulation.

Remember, your family's health is paramount, so don't hesitate to take action if you suspect any indoor air quality problems.
