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 health issues indoors?« Back to Previous Page

After the dust storm that hit Dubai last week, I noticed a thick layer of sand settling on the books in our living room bookshelf. The windows were closed, but it’s still evident that some dust has found its way inside. My kids have been complaining of sore throats and coughing ever since. Has anyone else experienced similar issues during these storms?

Dust storms can indeed cause health issues indoors. In the UAE and particularly Dubai, these storms bring a substantial amount of dust, sand, and even fine particles from outside into your home. Even though you kept your windows closed, some dust did manage to get inside, as evidenced by the layer on your bookshelves.

The thick layer of sand and particulates can affect indoor air quality significantly. These tiny particles can irritate respiratory systems leading to symptoms like sore throats and coughing - exactly what your kids have been experiencing. In addition to these visible effects, there are also smaller particulate matter that might not be so obvious but still pose health risks when inhaled.

According to local regulations, it's important to maintain the indoor air quality as much as possible, especially during such events. The UAE does not have specific dust storm related laws or guidelines, however, staying aware of environmental conditions and taking necessary precautions is encouraged by health authorities.

To ensure your family’s well-being, consider having a professional inspection done. At Saniservice, we offer thorough indoor air quality assessments that can help identify any hidden risks from the recent dust storm. Our team uses advanced equipment to measure particulate levels and assess overall air quality in your home.

If you decide not to go for an inspection or if symptoms persist despite cleaning, it is advised to speak with a healthcare professional. Persistent coughing and sore throat could be signs of something more serious than just irritation from dust.

Remember, after such storms, thorough cleaning is essential. Use a damp cloth to wipe down surfaces; this helps in trapping the fine particles that dry cloths might miss. Also, consider running an air purifier for a few days to help filter out any lingering particulates.

Lastly, don’t forget about your HVAC systems. They can be a significant source of dust and allergens if not properly maintained. Saniservice offers maintenance services as well which can keep your system in top condition.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on our indoor air quality assessment and cleaning services. We're here to help ensure the best possible environment for you and your family during these challenging times.
