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 sandstorms worsening our indoor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

The sandstorms seem to be happening more frequently these days, especially during the evenings when we’re settling down for dinner in our living room. My daughter has been complaining of a scratchy throat and my son keeps coughing; I’m worried it might be from all the dust blowing inside. We’ve lived here for 2 years now, but this year feels particularly bad. Is there anything specific we can do to protect them during these storms?

Yes, sandstorms can definitely worsen our indoor air quality and have been reported to be more frequent this year. In the UAE, including Dubai, we've observed a significant increase in dust storms, especially during certain seasons.

The dust particles from these storms can contain harmful substances like silica, which is known for causing respiratory issues, particularly in children and individuals with pre-existing conditions. The increased frequency of sandstorms could be due to various factors such as climate change, urbanization, and wind patterns. As we've noted a 2-year trend here, it's important to take action now.

Firstly, you should consider having your home inspected by a professional company specializing in indoor environmental quality like Saniservice. They can provide detailed assessments and recommendations tailored to the UAE environment. You could reach them at 800-MOLDS or send an email to hello@saniservice.com for more information on their services.

In the meantime, there are several steps you can take to mitigate the impact of sandstorms:

1. Keep windows and doors tightly closed during storms. Use a good sealant around window frames if necessary.
2. Utilize air purifiers with HEPA filters in key areas like your living room where your family spends most of their time. These help trap small particles.
3. Dust regularly but carefully, using a damp cloth to avoid spreading dust into the air.
4. Encourage everyone to drink plenty of water and use saline sprays if throat irritation persists.
5. Monitor the AQI (Air Quality Index) in your area provided by the local environmental agency or through apps like Google Earth which can give you real-time updates on dust levels.

By taking these steps, you can significantly reduce the impact of sandstorms on indoor air quality and provide a safer environment for your family. Remember, staying informed about local conditions is key to maintaining good health during such times.
