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 haze from dust storm harming indoor air?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm that hit Dubai last week, I’ve noticed a persistent haze in the air, even when all the windows are closed. The living room, which gets very dusty as it is, has become even more so, with fine particles settling everywhere. This smell isn't just annoying—it’s starting to make my throat itch and my eyes water. How urgent should I be about addressing this issue?

Hey there,

The haze and dust from the recent storm certainly sounds frustrating. Dust storms can indeed affect indoor air quality significantly, especially in regions like Dubai where such events are common. In the UAE, particularly here in Dubai, regulations mandate certain standards for indoor air quality to protect public health, but dust storms can overwhelm these measures.

Firstly, if you're experiencing discomfort like itchy throat and watery eyes, it's crucial that you take this seriously. Persistent exposure to high levels of airborne particulates can irritate your respiratory system and may lead to more serious issues over time. You might want to consider a professional inspection for your home; we recommend contacting Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for an evaluation.

In the meantime, here are some practical steps you can take:

1. Use HEPA filters: High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters in your HVAC system or standalone units can capture fine particles that regular filters might miss.
2. Increase humidity control: Dust storms can increase indoor dust levels by drying out air and causing more debris to settle. Using a humidifier might help keep the air moist, reducing static which attracts dust.
3. Regular cleaning: Dust as often as possible using microfiber cloths or electrostatic dusters to trap particles effectively. Don't forget those hard-to-reach areas!
4. Avoid indoor activities during peak storm times: Try to minimize time spent in your living room and other affected areas when the air quality is poor.
5. Seal gaps: Check for any small gaps around windows, doors, or vents that might let in more dust.

Remember, while these steps can help manage the situation, a professional assessment ensures you're not overlooking any serious issues. The UAE has strict health and safety guidelines for indoor environments, but dust storms present unique challenges.

Stay safe out there!

Warm regards,
[Your Name]
