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.

Are dust storms harmful to kids' health?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm that hit Dubai, I’ve noticed a lot of fine dust settling on every surface in our living room, even with the windows tightly shut. My kids have been coughing more frequently since we’ve been home from school, and it’s hard not to worry about them breathing all this grit. Have anyone else experienced similar issues or know if there are specific steps we should take to protect our family during these storms?

Dust storms can indeed be harmful to kids' health. The fine particulate matter they bring from the desert sands can irritate lungs and cause respiratory issues, especially for children who are still developing their immune systems.

In the UAE, dust storms are a common occurrence, particularly during the winter months when the weather transitions. These storms can introduce high levels of dust into indoor environments, even with windows tightly shut. It's not uncommon to see fine dust settle on every surface in your home following one of these events.

From an environmental and health perspective, it’s important to take precautions. Firstly, ensure that you have a good air filtration system installed; HEPA filters can be very effective at removing particulate matter from the air. Check if your current system is up to standard or consider upgrading to one with better efficiency ratings.

It's also advisable to keep indoor areas as dust-free as possible by using microfiber cloths and damp cleaning methods which help prevent particles from becoming airborne again. Regularly washing bedding, curtains, and other fabrics can also reduce the amount of dust in your living space.

If you notice persistent symptoms like coughing or sneezing among family members during these storms, it might be time to call for a professional inspection. Many companies in Dubai offer indoor air quality testing which can help identify any hidden issues that may not be immediately obvious.

Remember to keep an eye on weather forecasts and take additional steps when a storm is expected. Closing windows tightly and using air purifiers can significantly reduce the amount of dust entering your home.

In Dubai, regulations concerning indoor environmental quality are in place but often it’s up to individual homeowners or businesses to ensure compliance. If you're concerned about long-term health impacts or if symptoms persist, do not hesitate to seek professional advice. Contact 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information and support.

Stay safe during these storms!
