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.

Could dust storms cause our dry coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I’ve noticed a persistent dry cough in both my wife and our two young children. The air feels thick and stuffy, especially in the living room where we spend most of our time together. It’s concerning because they’ve been complaining about it for days now, and I’m worried it might be due to some kind of airborne allergen or dust. Could there be a way to clean the air more effectively without using harsh chemicals?

Dust storms can indeed cause discomfort like dry coughs and make the air feel thick. In our region, dust storms are not uncommon and they can carry a lot of particulate matter including fine dust, sand, pollen, and even some microscopic organisms that might irritate your respiratory system.

In dubai, uae, it's quite common to experience such conditions after the dust storms pass. The air quality can drop significantly during these events due to the influx of dust particles. This could potentially trigger coughing or exacerbate existing respiratory issues, especially in young children and individuals with allergies or asthma.

To address this concern, there are a few steps you should take:

1. Increase ventilation: Open windows and use exhaust fans when it’s safe to do so. However, be cautious of bringing more dust into the house. In Dubai, air purifiers can be quite effective in filtering out airborne particles.

2. Air Purification: Get an HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter for your home. These filters are designed to capture particles as small as 0.3 microns, which includes most dust and allergens. It might be a good idea to invest in one or more air purifiers, particularly if you have sensitive family members.

3. Clean surfaces: Dust can settle on furniture, floors, and other surfaces. Use microfiber cloths to avoid spreading the particles around as they clean. Regular cleaning with a vacuum cleaner that has a HEPA filter will also help keep your home’s indoor air quality better.

4. Humidifier: Running a humidifier in the living room might help moisten the air which can make breathing easier and alleviate coughing. Just ensure you clean it regularly to avoid mold growth.

5. Professional Inspection: If the coughs persist or worsen, consider calling for a professional inspection. Here in Dubai, companies like Saniservice can conduct thorough inspections and provide recommendations on how to improve indoor air quality.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, especially during times of poor outdoor air conditions. Regular cleaning and using appropriate equipment can go a long way in ensuring your family's health isn't compromised by the dust storms or any other environmental factors.

If you need further assistance or have specific concerns about your home’s air quality, don’t hesitate to reach out for professional help. You can contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information and support.

Hope these tips will help you in maintaining a healthier indoor environment for your family during the dust storms!
