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 harming my children?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new apartment on the third floor near the highway, the dust storms seem more frequent. The other day, after a particularly intense one that lasted well into the evening, I noticed my children had been coughing and sneezing more than usual. Their rooms are in the back of the apartment, far from the entrance but still right next to an open window. Is there anything specific I should be doing to protect them during these storms?

Dust storms can indeed pose a threat to the health of your children, especially those who may already be sensitive. In the UAE, dust storms are quite common, particularly during the winter months. They bring with them particulate matter that can irritate respiratory systems and potentially worsen conditions for individuals with asthma or allergies.

The intense one you experienced was likely filled with fine particles, including pollen, dust mites, mold spores, and even pollutants from nearby sources like highways. These elements can easily enter your home through open windows, as you mentioned about the ones in your children's rooms. Given that their rooms are at the back of the apartment but still close to an opening, it’s important to take proactive measures.

First off, I recommend closing all windows and doors tightly to prevent dust from entering. In Dubai, many homes have air conditioning systems which can help filter out some of these particles, so make sure yours is running. However, during severe storms, turning on the AC may not be enough. An alternative could be using portable HEPA filters in your children's rooms.

Another thing you should consider is the frequency and duration of dust storms. If they are becoming more common or intense, it might be time to call in an environmental inspection service like Saniservice. They can provide a professional assessment of your home’s air quality and recommend appropriate remediation steps if needed.

Lastly, keep an eye on your children's health. If their symptoms persist or worsen despite your efforts, consult with a healthcare provider. They may be able to prescribe medication or suggest other interventions that could help manage any respiratory issues.

In the meantime, staying informed about dust storm forecasts can also help you plan ahead and protect your family’s wellbeing. Keep an eye on local news channels or weather apps for updates.

Remember, prevention is key in minimizing the effects of dust storms on your household. With a few simple steps, you can significantly reduce exposure to harmful particles.
