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.

How can I reduce dust and improve air quality?« Back to Previous Page

My living room has been feeling really dusty lately, especially since we started preparing for Ramadan. I’ve noticed a scratchy throat and some sneezing, and my husband is complaining about headaches. We opened the windows to let some fresh air in, but it seems like the dust just keeps coming back. I’ve tried cleaning the surfaces and vacuuming, but it doesn’t seem to help much. Could there be something specific I should be doing to keep the air cleaner during this time, or could it be something more serious?

Dust accumulation is a common issue in the UAE, especially during the preparation for Ramadan when many families engage in deep cleaning activities. The dry climate, combined with construction activities and natural desert dust, can exacerbate indoor air quality problems. Here are some practical steps to help reduce dust and improve air quality in your living space:

1. Regular Cleaning: While you mentioned that you've been cleaning surfaces, it's important to adopt a systematic approach. Use microfiber cloths for dusting, as they trap dust more effectively than traditional dusters. Also, consider using a vacuum with a HEPA filter to capture fine particles, including allergens. Vacuum carpets, upholstery, and even curtains regularly.

2. Air Filtration: Invest in a high-quality air purifier with HEPA filters. These devices can significantly reduce particulate matter, including dust, pollen, and other allergens. Make sure to select a model suitable for the size of your living room. Additionally, ensure that your HVAC system is equipped with proper filters and consider upgrading to MERV-rated filters (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) for enhanced filtration.

3. Humidity Control: The UAE's dry climate can lead to increased dust, but maintaining optimal humidity levels (between 30-50%) can help. Consider using a humidifier to keep the air from becoming too dry, which can aggravate respiratory issues. However, be cautious not to raise the humidity too high, as that can promote mold growth.

4. Minimize Clutter: Dust tends to accumulate on surfaces that are cluttered. Reduce the number of decorative items, books, and other objects that can trap dust. Regularly declutter and clean these areas.

5. Seal Cracks and Gaps: Inspect windows and doors for any gaps or cracks that may allow dust to enter your home. Sealing these openings can significantly reduce the amount of outdoor dust that infiltrates your living space.

6. Professional Inspection: If you continue to experience symptoms like a scratchy throat, sneezing, or headaches despite your cleaning efforts, it might be wise to seek a professional indoor air quality inspection. Issues such as mold growth, hidden dust accumulation, or HVAC-related problems may require expert attention. In the UAE, you can reach out to professional services like ours by calling 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or by emailing hello@saniservice.com for assistance.

7. Ventilation: While opening windows can provide fresh air, it can also bring in dust. Instead, consider using exhaust fans or an air exchange system to improve ventilation without compromising air quality.

By implementing these strategies, you should see an improvement in your indoor air quality and a reduction in dust-related symptoms. It’s essential to stay vigilant, especially during Ramadan when families spend more time at home preparing for the celebrations.
