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 really affecting indoor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

Since the last dust storm hit Dubai a few days ago, I’ve noticed an unusual amount of dust settling on everything in my bedroom window area. My children have started complaining of sore throats and coughing, especially at night when we keep the windows closed for better air conditioning. Have anyone else experienced similar symptoms after dust storms? Could this be due to the fine particles getting inside our home despite the AC filters?

Dust storms can indeed have a significant impact on indoor air quality. In the UAE, especially during dust storm seasons, the fine particles and pollutants that get kicked up into the atmosphere can easily penetrate your home despite your best efforts to keep it sealed. The recent dust storms in Dubai are no exception, with many reporting similar experiences of increased dust settling inside their homes.

The particles from a dust storm aren't just visible; they also include harmful substances like silica, pollen, and even tiny pieces of metal and glass. These can cause respiratory issues, especially for children and those with pre-existing conditions. The complaints your kids are having about sore throats and coughing could very well be due to these fine particles making their way inside despite the air conditioning filters.

It's important to note that UAE regulations do emphasize the need for maintaining indoor air quality. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of Dubai has guidelines on how to manage dust and other environmental pollutants, but they can only go so far when storms are in full swing. In such cases, it’s crucial to take proactive steps to safeguard your home.

Firstly, consider using HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters as an additional layer of protection. These filters are more effective at capturing fine particles than standard AC filters and can significantly reduce the amount of dust in your indoor environment.

Secondly, it’s a good idea to keep windows closed during storms, but when you do open them for ventilation, consider using air purifiers or vacuums with HEPA filters to help clean the air. Regular cleaning of surfaces like window sills, furniture, and floors can also reduce dust accumulation.

If your family members continue to experience symptoms, it might be wise to have a professional environmental inspection done. At SaniService, we offer comprehensive indoor air quality assessments that can identify any lingering pollutants and provide recommendations for remediation. You can contact us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information.

Remember, while dust storms are a natural occurrence, they don't have to compromise the health of your family. Stay proactive and take steps to maintain good indoor air quality.
