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.

Should I worry about odor causing family health issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms last month, I noticed a strange odor lingering in my living room. It’s not as bad as when we first moved in but it’s definitely there, especially during the evening. My family has been complaining about occasional headaches and eye irritation too. Do you think this is something I can manage on my own or should I consider professional help?

Absolutely, the odor and symptoms reported by your family could be concerning. In Dubai/UAE, indoor air quality is regulated under various guidelines and standards to ensure occupant health. The UAE Ministry of Energy and Public Works (MoEPW) oversees building codes that include provisions for air quality; however, post-dust storm conditions often see a rise in particulates and other contaminants which can impact air quality.

Firstly, it’s important to understand the possible sources of odour in your home. Dust storms can carry particles such as sand, dust mites, mold spores, and even chemical residues from construction or cleaning products. These factors combined could be causing the persistent smell you've noticed.

For now, here are some steps you can take on your own to mitigate the situation:
• Ensure proper ventilation: Open windows when possible and use exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens.
• Use air purifiers equipped with HEPA filters, which can help capture finer particles and allergens.
• Clean frequently used surfaces like furniture, curtains, and carpets. Microfiber cloths are effective for this purpose.

However, given that the odour persists and your family is experiencing health issues such as headaches and eye irritation, it would be wise to seek professional assistance. A certified environmental inspector can perform a thorough assessment of your home’s air quality and identify any hidden sources of contamination. In Dubai, you could contact companies like Saniservice for a professional inspection.

Remember that indoor air quality in the UAE is critical, especially after dust storms. If the situation doesn't improve or if symptoms worsen, don’t hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 for expert advice and remediation services. Email hello@saniservice.com too if you need further information.

Taking these steps can help ensure your family’s health is protected while the underlying issues are addressed.
