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 lingering odor from dust storm harmful?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms last week, we've noticed a lingering odor that's really bothering me. The smell is strongest in our nursery where the toys are always strewn about. My daughter has been complaining of a stuffy nose and coughing more than usual since then. Have anyone else experienced similar issues or any tips on cleaning and preventing such smells?

Yes, the lingering odor from dust storms can be harmful especially for young children. The dust carried during such events often contains fine particles and allergens which can irritate the respiratory system leading to symptoms like stuffy nose or coughing. In Dubai & UAE, where we have seen similar conditions recently, it's crucial to address this situation promptly.

Firstly, it’s important to ensure that thorough cleaning takes place in your nursery area. Use a damp cloth and mild detergent to wipe down surfaces. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can release fumes which might exacerbate the situation. For the toys, give them a good wash under running water and allow them to air dry. Regular vacuuming with a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner is also recommended.

In addition to cleaning, make sure that you maintain good indoor air quality by opening windows when the air outside is clean. However, given the current conditions, it might be better to invest in an air purifier designed for fine particulates and allergens. These devices can help reduce airborne irritants and provide a more comfortable environment.

If symptoms persist or worsen despite these measures, I would highly recommend contacting professionals for inspection. Here at Saniservice, we offer comprehensive indoor environmental assessments specifically tailored to the UAE market. Our team can identify any hidden issues and provide remediation services ensuring your home remains safe and healthy.

Don't hesitate to give us a call on 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information and assistance. Remember, the health of our children is paramount, and proactive measures can make all the difference.
