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.

Can we clean indoor air after a sandstorm?« Back to Previous Page

After the sandstorm that hit our area a few days ago, I’ve noticed my children have started coughing up lots of phlegm in the mornings. The windows and doors were tightly shut to keep out the sand, but it’s hard not to worry about all that fine dust lingering indoors. Is there anything specific we can do to clean or purify the air in our home to make things safer for them?

Cleaning indoor air post-sandstorm can be quite a challenge esp. in areas like Dubai where such storms are frequent. The fine dust and particles that enter your home during these events can indeed lead to respiratory issues, particularly for children. Here's what you need to know & do:

Firstly, it is advisable to schedule a professional inspection by a company like ours to assess the extent of the contamination and ensure your indoor air quality meets the UAE standards. Regulatory bodies in the UAE have set guidelines for air quality that are crucial to maintain, especially after such events.

To start with, cleaning your home thoroughly is key. Begin by opening windows briefly when the storm has passed to flush out some of the dust. However, if you're still experiencing high levels of particulates inside, keep them shut tight and use a HEPA filter air purifier. These devices are effective in trapping tiny particles that regular filters might miss.

HEPA stands for High-Efficiency Particulate Air and these purifiers can remove up to 99.97% of dust, pollen, mold, smoke, and other allergens from the air. Make sure your air purifier is UL certified as it indicates compliance with strict standards set by Underwriters Laboratories.

Additionally, use a damp cloth or a microfiber duster to wipe down surfaces like furniture, windowsills, and floors. This will help remove any dust that has settled during the storm. Regularly vacuuming carpets and rugs can also help but ensure your vacuum cleaner comes with a HEPA filter for best results.

Another useful tip is to increase indoor humidity levels slightly by using a humidifier. This helps keep mucous membranes moist, which can help prevent coughing and other respiratory issues caused by dryness from the sandstorm.

Lastly, consider planting some indoor air-purifying plants like spider plants or peace lilies. They not only add a touch of greenery but also naturally filter out toxins from your home's air.

Remember, if symptoms persist or worsen despite these measures, it may be time to seek further assistance from a professional. Don't hesitate to call us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for expert advice and services tailored specifically to your needs.

Stay safe & healthy!
