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 new carpet causing our health issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent renovation of our office space a few months ago, we’ve noticed a persistent musty odor that seems to get worse every time someone uses the air conditioning. My colleagues have been complaining of headaches and feeling unwell since the new carpet was installed. We’re worried it might be causing these health issues. Is there anything specific we should look out for or steps we can take to ensure our office environment is safe?

Is the new carpet causing our health issues? That's a valid concern. The musty odor and headaches after installing new carpets are indeed worrisome signs that something might be amiss.

Firstly, it’s essential to understand that carpets can harbor allergens like dust mites, mold spores, and pollen if they aren't properly maintained. In the UAE, especially during our hot, humid summers, such conditions can lead to the growth of mold, which is notorious for causing respiratory issues and headaches. The air conditioning exacerbates this problem by creating a stagnant environment where moisture can accumulate.

Additionally, in Dubai, we often see regulations concerning indoor environmental quality that emphasize the need for proper ventilation and material safety. For instance, UAE’s Building Control Code requires regular inspection to ensure compliance with air quality standards. This means it's crucial to check if the carpet was installed using materials that comply with local building codes which mandate low volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions.

To address your concerns, I would recommend you take several steps:

1. Professional Inspection: Contact a professional environmental inspection company like Saniservice who can conduct a thorough assessment of the air quality and identify potential sources of mold or other allergens.
2. Ventilation Check: Ensure that your office has adequate ventilation to prevent moisture buildup. Open windows if possible, and use dehumidifiers during humid periods.
3. Regular Cleaning: Have the carpets professionally cleaned regularly to remove dust mites and other allergens. Use eco-friendly cleaning products which are less likely to cause irritation.
4. Air Purification: Consider installing air purifiers equipped with HEPA filters that can help reduce airborne contaminants.

If you continue experiencing symptoms, do not hesitate to consult a healthcare professional who specializes in occupational health or environmental medicine. They can provide specific advice based on your individual case.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you need assistance with an inspection or remediation plan. Remember, the key is proactive maintenance and regular checks to ensure a healthy indoor environment for all employees.
