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 the chemical smell from the warehouse harmful?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent warehouse cleaning at our new storage unit next door, we've noticed a persistent and strong chemical smell that lingers even after airing out our home. My husband has been experiencing headaches and my daughter’s cough seems to have gotten worse since the smell started. Is this normal? Could it be affecting our health in such a short timeframe?

The chemical smell from the warehouse can indeed be harmful and may have started to impact your family's health. In Dubai and the UAE, warehouses often store a variety of goods that might require special handling or treatment which could lead to the release of chemicals into the air. It's not uncommon for such smells to persist after cleaning operations.

Given the symptoms you've described - headaches in your husband and an increase in coughing for your daughter - it’s important to consider the possibility that these are related to exposure to harmful chemicals from the warehouse smell. Chemicals like volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in certain cleaning products, pesticides, or other industrial materials can cause respiratory issues and headaches.

In the UAE, there aren't specific regulations governing warehouse emissions directly; however, the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations (OHSR) under Federal Law No. 8 of 2003 do cover workplace environments, which may extend to some aspects of warehouses. For residential areas like yours, it's crucial to ensure that air quality is not compromised.

It would be wise to have your home inspected by a professional environmental inspector who can assess the situation and recommend appropriate actions such as using proper ventilation, decontamination techniques, or even relocation during the period when the smell persists. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer these services and could provide you with immediate relief if necessary.

In the meantime, ensure that windows are open to allow for better air circulation. If possible, avoid spending too much time in rooms where the smell is strongest. Using an air purifier can also help filter out some of the airborne particles causing your symptoms.

If the situation doesn't improve or worsens, don’t hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for professional assistance. Remember, your health and safety are paramount, so taking prompt action is crucial.

Always stay informed about local regulations and best practices in warehouse management to prevent such issues in the future.
