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 indoor air quality harming family health?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a persistent dry cough and irritated eyes whenever we spend time in the living room. The air feels thick and stale, especially during the day when everyone is home and the windows are sealed shut to keep out more dust. Is this something urgent that needs immediate attention, or should I just wait for it to clear up on its own?

Indoor air quality can indeed affect your family’s health and well-being. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, we frequently experience environmental challenges like dust storms which can lead to poor indoor air quality (IAQ). The symptoms you're experiencing – persistent dry cough and irritated eyes – are common signs that the IAQ is not up to par.

Firstly, it's important to understand that while some discomfort might clear on its own over time, certain IAQ issues can persist and worsen if left unaddressed. In Dubai, we often deal with high levels of particulate matter from dust storms, which can irritate respiratory systems and eyes. The thick, stale feeling you're describing when everyone is home during the day suggests that there may be a buildup of pollutants inside your living space.

Given the specific conditions in the UAE, it might be wise to have your indoor air quality professionally inspected. Local regulations like those set by the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) do not specifically mandate regular IAQ checks for residential buildings, but adhering to best practices can ensure a healthier home environment. Professional inspections can help identify sources of pollution and recommend effective remediation strategies.

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

1. Ventilation: Even though it's dusty outside, try to open windows during less windy times to allow fresh air in. Use exhaust fans or dehumidifiers to reduce moisture levels indoors.
2. Air Purifiers: Consider installing an air purifier with a HEPA filter that can capture fine particles and allergens.
3. Regular Cleaning: Dust and vacuum regularly, focusing on areas where dust tends to accumulate such as corners and behind furniture.
4. Filtering: Use electrostatic filters in your HVAC system if you don’t already have them.

If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s crucial to seek professional advice. Don’t hesitate to contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a thorough inspection and tailored recommendations.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key not just during dust storms but year-round in Dubai.
