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 dry air from storm causing children's coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a persistent cough in both of my children, especially when we come back from school. The air feels unusually dry even with the humidifier running, and there seems to be an invisible cloud lingering around our living room near the windows. Could this be related to the storm or is there something else I should look into to prevent their coughs from recurring?

Hello there,

Dry air from the storm could indeed be contributing to your children's coughs. The heavy dust storm might have brought in fine particles and allergens which can irritate respiratory passages, especially in kids. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, post-storm conditions are often dry and dusty, making it vital to keep an eye on indoor air quality.

Firstly, the persistent cough could be a sign of irritation from dust or other particulates. The dry air might exacerbate this issue as moisture levels drop below comfortable ranges for most people. Humidifiers can help but if you've noticed that even with one running, the air still feels unusually dry and there's an "invisible cloud" lingering near windows, it could point to something more.

It’s important to assess your home for potential issues like mold or dust mites which can thrive in a post-storm environment. Mold spores are common in dusty conditions and can contribute significantly to respiratory issues. In the UAE, where we often see high temperatures with low humidity, mold growth is less common but not unheard of.

I would recommend scheduling a professional inspection by calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com. They will be able to assess your home's air quality and identify any potential sources of irritation for your children. Furthermore, they can offer advice on maintaining healthy indoor conditions post-storm.

In the meantime, ensure that you maintain good ventilation by opening windows when possible but keeping them closed during peak dust times. Use HEPA filters in your air conditioning units to capture fine particles effectively. Also, encourage regular hand washing and keep surfaces clean to reduce exposure to dust.

Remember, it’s always better to be proactive about indoor environmental health. By taking these steps now, you can help prevent future issues for your family.

Best regards,
[Your Name]
