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 harming my family's health?« Back to Previous Page

Since we got the new carpet installed in our living room a few weeks ago, I’ve noticed a strange chemical smell that lingers even after vacuuming. My daughter has been complaining of a cough every morning since then. Is there anything I can do to improve the air quality and make sure it’s safe for my family?

Indeed, the smell from your newly installed carpet can be concerning and might affect indoor air quality. In Dubai/UAE, there are certain regulations regarding materials used for carpets to ensure they meet health and safety standards. However, it's not uncommon for new carpets to emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which could cause unpleasant odors or even respiratory issues.

The chemical smell you're noticing might be due to off-gassing from the carpet's backing, adhesive, or fibers. This is more common with cheaper quality carpets and can take weeks or months to dissipate completely. The cough your daughter has been experiencing every morning could potentially be linked to this issue, especially if she spends a lot of time in that room.

To improve indoor air quality and ensure it’s safe for your family here are some steps you should consider:

Firstly, open windows as much as possible to increase ventilation and reduce the concentration of VOCs. This is particularly effective when the weather permits.

Secondly, use an air purifier equipped with a HEPA filter which can capture fine particles and odors in the air. Many high-quality models also include activated carbon filters that are specifically designed for eliminating odors from carpets and other materials.

Thirdly, regularly clean your carpet using steam cleaning or vacuuming to remove dust and allergens. However, if you find that the smell persists despite these measures, it might be time to call in a professional environmental inspection company.

In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer comprehensive indoor air quality assessments which can identify sources of contamination and provide remediation advice tailored for the region. Their team is knowledgeable about local regulations and can help ensure your home’s air remains safe and healthy.

If you're still unsure or if symptoms persist, consider scheduling a professional inspection. For more information or to get in touch with Saniservice, you can call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for your family's health and well-being, especially in a warm climate like Dubai.
