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 dust storm linked to persistent cough and fatigue?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm we had, my living room has this persistent dry cough that won’t go away. Even though we’ve cleaned every corner, there’s still a fine layer of dust on everything. My wife and I are both feeling fatigued, and I’m worried it might be related to the cleaning process during Ramadan. Have anyone else experienced similar symptoms or could suggest a way to clean without causing more health issues?

Dust storms can indeed be linked to persistent coughs and fatigue. In the UAE, particularly during the recent sandstorm, dust particles can carry pollutants like silica and other fine particulates which are known to irritate respiratory systems. This is especially true when these particles settle on surfaces and get re-dispersed into the air with regular activities.

In your case, the dry cough and fatigue could be due to exposure to high levels of dust during the sandstorm or from cleaning efforts post-storm. The fine layer of dust you mentioned can contain microorganisms, allergens, and other irritants which might have been stirred up when cleaning. This is not uncommon in areas like Dubai where we experience such weather events.

It's important to ensure that your indoor environment remains clean but also consider the health impacts during this period. Here are some steps you could take:

Firstly, avoid cleaning immediately after a dust storm. Wait for at least 24-48 hours for the dust levels to stabilize before starting any thorough cleaning routine. This allows time for settled particles to settle further and reduces immediate exposure.

When you do clean, use damp cloths or microfiber dusters which can trap more particles than dry methods. Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows if weather permits but avoid using air conditioning as it can circulate dust around the room.

Regularly checking on the indoor air quality is also advisable. If symptoms persist despite your efforts, it's best to seek professional advice. An environmental inspection could help identify any specific allergens or pollutants present in your home and suggest remediation steps.

Remember, maintaining good hygiene practices like washing hands frequently can aid in preventing the spread of potential contaminants too.

If you're still experiencing issues after trying these tips, don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional evaluation. Our team is here to ensure your indoor environment remains safe and healthy during such challenging times.

Stay well!
