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.

Should I worry about lingering dust storm smell?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a peculiar smell in the living room that won’t go away. Even with the air purifier running non-stop, it still feels like there’s something off. My kids have been coughing more than usual and I’m worried about their health. Should I call an HVAC specialist or can I try to fix this myself?

Absolutely, you should worry about the lingering dust storm smell. In Dubai and the UAE, such conditions can lead to some serious indoor air quality issues that may affect your family's health, especially if they are already coughing more than usual.

Firstly, it’s wise to consider a professional inspection by an HVAC specialist or environmental consultant who is well-versed in local regulations like those set out in the Federal Law No. 21 of 1984 on Public Health and Safety (as amended). This ensures that any issues are identified properly and addressed effectively.

The dust storms can introduce particulates, allergens, and other irritants into your home’s air supply. These particles can travel through your HVAC system and get distributed throughout the house, explaining why you're still feeling the effects even with an air purifier running non-stop.

To tackle this issue yourself, start by checking the filters in your HVAC system; they might be clogged or need to be replaced. Clean them thoroughly and replace if necessary. Additionally, consider installing a high-efficiency particulate arrestance (HEPA) filter which can capture tiny particles that regular filters often miss.

You should also inspect all air vents for any dust or debris blockages and clean them out meticulously. This will help in improving airflow and reducing the concentration of airborne pollutants.

For more persistent odors, you might want to look into using activated charcoal or baking soda as natural odor absorbers. Placing these in different rooms could help alleviate some of the smell temporarily.

However, if your situation continues or worsens, it’s crucial to call for professional services. At Saniservice, we can provide a thorough inspection and remediation plan tailored specifically for the UAE environment. Our team is equipped with knowledge on local standards and can ensure that your indoor air quality meets safety guidelines.

Remember, your health and that of your family members comes first. If you’re concerned about any symptoms or if the smell persists despite your efforts, don’t hesitate to reach out for expert assistance. Call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation.

Take care and stay healthy!
