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 from outside worsening my son's asthma?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed my son has been having trouble breathing at night. The bedroom where he sleeps is on the second floor of our apartment, right next to the main entrance, so it tends to collect a lot of dust and debris from outside. We've lived here for 2 years and just noticed that his asthma seems to be getting worse since then. Has anyone else experienced similar issues in Dubai? Are there specific cleaning products or methods recommended for asthma sufferers in this kind of environment?

Yes, it's very possible that the dust from outside is worsening your son’s asthma. In Dubai and especially during storms like the one we had last month, fine particles can infiltrate your home through open windows or even through small gaps around doors and windows. These particles can trigger asthmatic symptoms in those who are sensitive to them.

In a place like ours where high temperatures and humidity levels fluctuate greatly, dust mites and mold spores can also thrive, further exacerbating respiratory issues. The bedroom on the second floor of your apartment is more susceptible to collecting these particulates due to its proximity to the main entrance; it's common for dust and debris to settle here.

Dubai has specific regulations regarding indoor environmental quality but unfortunately, there isn't a strict control over outdoor dust levels. It’s important to keep your home as clean and free of allergens as possible. Here are some steps you can take:

Firstly, ensure that you have an air purifier that's designed for capturing fine particles. Models with HEPA filters are particularly effective in removing dust mites, pollen, and other small particulates.

Secondly, regular cleaning is crucial. Use microfiber cloths which trap dust better than cotton ones. Vacuum your carpets and floors thoroughly every day using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to remove allergens effectively.

Thirdly, consider installing door sweeps or weather stripping around doors to prevent more dust from entering the home during storms.

Fourthly, ensure good ventilation but keep windows closed when outdoor pollution levels are high. It’s also wise to have professional indoor air quality inspections done every now and then, especially if you notice a change in your son's asthma symptoms.

Lastly, keep the bedroom as clean and dry as possible, as moisture can promote mold growth which can worsen asthma. Use dehumidifiers where necessary and always ensure proper ventilation.

If you find that these measures are not enough or if your son’s condition continues to deteriorate, it might be a good idea to call in a professional for an inspection. Our company, Saniservice, offers comprehensive indoor air quality assessments and remediation services. You can reach us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or via email at hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, staying vigilant about your home's environment is key to managing asthma effectively in our region.
