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 linked to kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a strange odor lingering in my living room. Despite cleaning every surface and airing out the space, the smell persists, and it’s really starting to bother me. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately too, and I’m worried it might be linked to this indoor air issue. Can anyone advise on whether I should try to fix this myself or if I need professional help?

Absolutely you should worry about the odor and its potential impact on your family's health. In Dubai, indoor air quality (IAQ) can be significantly affected by external factors such as dust storms. The UAE doesn't have a specific law mandating regular IAQ checks for homes but it is wise to stay alert especially during dusty seasons.

The odor you're experiencing and the increase in kids' coughing could be linked. Dust and debris from the recent storm might contain microorganisms, dust mites, or even mold spores that can trigger respiratory issues, particularly in children. These particles can linger in your home's air after a storm and may not be removed by simple cleaning methods.

Firstly, ensure you've thoroughly cleaned surfaces, carpets, and upholstery. Use a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner to capture small particles. Open windows for at least 20 minutes daily to ventilate the space and allow fresh air in. But if your home is still reeking after trying these steps, it's advisable to seek professional help.

A professional inspection by an expert like those at Saniservice can pinpoint any hidden issues such as mold growth that might not be visible but certainly contribute to poor IAQ. Their team will also advise on preventive measures tailored for Dubai’s climate and dust conditions.

Remember, your family's health is paramount. If you decide to go the professional route, contact 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a detailed inspection and remediation plan. Don't wait; addressing this now can prevent further health complications down the line.
