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 causing respiratory issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense sandstorm two days ago, we've noticed a persistent cough and runny nose in everyone in the house, especially my young daughter who likes to play outside. The dust seems to settle even inside our closed apartment windows and doors, making it hard for her to breathe comfortably. Have any of you experienced similar issues or know how to better protect ourselves during these storms?

Dust storms can indeed cause respiratory issues. The intense sandstorms we experienced recently in the UAE have brought an influx of particulate matter into our homes and environments, which can irritate the lungs and trigger allergic reactions. In Dubai particularly, we're often hit by these storms that carry a lot more than just dust - they also contain pollen, mold spores, and even small insects.

In your case with the young daughter, it's understandable to be concerned about her breathing difficulties especially since children are more susceptible to respiratory problems due to their smaller airways. The persistent cough and runny nose you're noticing could be linked to the sandstorm dust settling inside your apartment despite closed windows and doors.

To protect against such issues, I'd recommend a few steps:

Firstly, use HEPA filters in your HVAC system or portable units if you have them. These can help filter out fine particles that make their way into your home during storms. Secondly, keeping the air humidified might ease breathing, but ensure it’s not too moist to avoid mold growth. Thirdly, limiting outdoor activities for young children and pets during sandstorms is wise.

For thorough cleaning after a storm, vacuuming with a HEPA filter equipped cleaner can help remove dust from carpets and upholstery. But remember that some particles may still remain airborne, so it's crucial to keep the home well-ventilated when safe weather returns.

Lastly, if your family members experience persistent symptoms or worsening conditions, consider having an indoor air quality inspection done by professionals like Saniservice. They can help identify sources of contamination and recommend solutions tailored for your specific situation in Dubai.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule a consultation. Taking these steps can significantly improve the indoor air quality and reduce the discomfort caused by sandstorms.

Remember, protecting respiratory health during storms is key, so stay vigilant!
