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

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the air of our living room. Even though we keep the windows closed to prevent dust from getting inside, the smell lingers, especially when it’s humid outside. My kids have been coughing and sneezing more frequently lately, and I’m worried it might be due to poor indoor air quality. Is there anything specific I can do to improve the air in our home?

Yes, poor indoor air quality could indeed be making your kids sick. In the UAE, particularly during periods of high humidity like you experienced after the rain last month, moisture can lead to the growth of mold and other allergens which might irritate your children’s respiratory systems causing coughing and sneezing.

Firstly, it's important to identify if there are any visible signs of dampness or mold in your living room. If you see any signs like discoloration on walls or ceilings, musty odors, or water stains, this could indicate a potential problem that needs immediate attention. However, sometimes even without these obvious signs, indoor air quality can still be compromised.

To improve the air quality in your home, start by enhancing ventilation. Keep windows partially open when weather permits to allow fresh air into the space and reduce humidity levels. You may also consider investing in an air purifier that has a HEPA filter which can help remove small particles from the air such as dust mites, pollen, and even some viruses.

In addition, you should check your home’s dehumidification system, if you have one, to ensure it's functioning properly. In Dubai, due to the high humidity levels, using a dehumidifier might be beneficial. This can significantly reduce moisture in the air and prevent mold growth.

Regular cleaning of carpets, curtains, and other fabrics that collect dust and debris is also crucial. Use vacuums with HEPA filters for better cleaning effectiveness. Don’t forget to clean or replace your HVAC system’s filter at least every three months; a clogged filter can increase indoor humidity levels.

If the issue persists despite these measures, it might be wise to call in professionals who specialize in environmental inspections and remediation. At Saniservice, we can conduct thorough assessments of your home's air quality and provide specific recommendations tailored to your living conditions. Our number is 800-MOLDS or you can email us at hello@saniservice.com for more details.

Remember, maintaining a clean and healthy indoor environment is key in protecting the well-being of your family.
