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.

What can I do to clean up dusty air affecting my kids' asthma?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, my kids have been coughing and wheezing constantly, especially in the mornings. The bedroom where they sleep seems to be hit the hardest with this persistent cough. I suspect it might be related to the dusty air settling there but am not sure what steps to take to clean up their environment effectively. Any advice on how to improve their asthma symptoms?

Cleaning up dusty air to ease your kids' asthma symptoms can be a daunting task but is definitely manageable. Firstly, it's essential to understand that dust storms and their aftermaths can indeed exacerbate respiratory issues like asthma. In the UAE, especially during the hot months, such as the ones following sandstorms or dust events, indoor air quality can significantly deteriorate.

To start with, ensure you maintain a clean environment by doing regular vacuuming and dusting. Use a high-efficiency particulate arrestance (HEPA) filter vacuum to capture tiny particles that standard vacuums might miss. These filters are particularly effective in trapping allergens and irritants like pollen, mold spores, and dust mites. Clean surfaces with a damp cloth or mop; dry sweeping can release more dust into the air.

In Dubai, humidity levels can vary widely, which is why it's crucial to use dehumidifiers during humid seasons. This will help reduce moisture levels in your home and prevent mold growth, another common trigger for asthma symptoms. Additionally, keeping indoor plants at bay or using air purifiers that can remove allergens from the air can provide a much healthier environment.

Given the persistent coughing and wheezing you're experiencing, especially in your kids' bedroom, it might be wise to consider a professional inspection. A company like Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) can assess the indoor air quality and recommend specific remediation steps tailored to your home's needs.

Remember to keep windows closed during high dust periods as this will help prevent outdoor pollutants from entering your home. Also, avoid using harsh chemicals for cleaning; opt for natural products whenever possible.

Lastly, consider having an air conditioning filter replaced or cleaned, as it can collect a lot of dirt and allergens over time, affecting indoor air quality. Always ensure you use filters that are appropriate for your AC system to maintain efficiency and effectiveness.

Taking these steps should help improve the situation but if symptoms persist, always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and treatment options.
