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 this odor related to poor indoor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy smoke from the recent construction next door settled a few days ago, I’ve been noticing a weird odor in my living room, especially when the air conditioning is on. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits and my throat feels scratchy too. Is this something to worry about, or could it be related to indoor air quality?

The odor and coughing fits that you're experiencing could indeed be linked to poor indoor air quality. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, construction activities can introduce a range of irritants into your home's environment such as particulate matter from dust, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from new materials, and even some smoke residues. This can have an impact on the air you breathe indoors.

In the UAE, like many places around the world, there aren't specific regulations that directly address indoor air quality in residential settings. However, following local building codes and guidelines helps ensure a safer environment for residents. For instance, the presence of smoke and its after-effects may indicate the need to reassess your home's ventilation system.

The symptoms you're describing - coughing fits in kids and a scratchy throat - can be signs of irritation from these airborne particles or chemicals. These are not uncommon when there is an influx of contaminants into a space, especially if the air conditioning system is running. The AC can circulate these irritants throughout your living spaces, worsening their effects.

Given this situation, I recommend contacting a professional environmental inspection and remediation company to conduct a thorough assessment of your home's air quality. In Dubai, you could reach out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com for expert advice and services tailored to your specific needs.

Until the issue is properly addressed, it would be wise to keep windows partially open when possible to allow fresh outdoor air into your home. Additionally, using an air purifier that can filter out particulates and chemicals might provide temporary relief while you await professional help. Ensure that any such device meets local standards or recommendations for effective filtration.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for health, particularly in urban environments like Dubai where construction activities are common.
