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 constant choking from dust storm residue normal?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, we've had this constant choking sensation in our living room, especially when I vacuum or someone opens a window. It's gotten so bad that my kids have been coughing more frequently, which is really worrying me. Has anyone else experienced something similar and what cleaning rules do you follow to address these kinds of issues?

Is constant choking from dust storm residue normal? Not really. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, we experience several dust storms throughout the year, but lingering symptoms post-storm are concerning and should be addressed.

Firstly, it's important to understand that excessive dust and particulate matter can indeed cause respiratory issues like coughing, especially in children. These particles can contain allergens, mold spores, and even dust mites which could exacerbate existing health conditions or trigger new ones.

In Dubai and the UAE, we follow some specific guidelines and regulations for indoor air quality. The Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi (EAD) has set standards to ensure that buildings maintain a clean environment free from harmful pollutants. However, after a severe storm like the one you experienced last month, it's prudent to conduct a thorough inspection of your home.

Professional cleaning might not be enough; sometimes, deeper issues such as mold growth in hidden areas or compromised HVAC systems can lead to long-term problems. If the choking sensation persists and your kids are coughing more frequently, it would be wise to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection.

To address this issue practically, start with basic steps like using high-efficiency air filters in your HVAC system, which can trap smaller particles. Vacuuming and dusting regularly are also essential but make sure you use HEPA filters to capture fine dust. Opening windows after the storm has passed might help, but try to avoid doing so during windy periods.

Also consider installing a dehumidifier if you haven't already; high humidity levels can foster mold growth, which is another common issue post-dust storms in this region.

Lastly, keeping your home well-ventilated when weather permits and ensuring that any damp areas are addressed promptly can prevent further issues. If the problem persists, it might be time to seek professional help as mentioned earlier.
