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.

Is indoor air quality worsening after dust storms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I’ve noticed a layer of fine dust collecting on all the surfaces in my living room window sill, even though no one has touched anything. It's been almost two weeks since it stopped, and the air feels surprisingly stagnant inside despite having the AC running constantly. Has anyone else experienced this, or could there be an issue with the air quality that I should be concerned about?

Absolutely, indoor air quality can get affected post-dust storms. In the UAE and Dubai specifically, dust storms are quite common and their aftermath often leaves a layer of fine particulate matter (PM) on surfaces. This is due to the sand particles being lifted by strong winds and then settling down when conditions calm.

In your case, it's not unusual at all to see such deposits after a storm. However, the fact that you're experiencing stagnant air even with the AC running constantly could be indicative of an issue. It’s possible that the air filters in your system might have clogged up due to the dust and sand, which is affecting the airflow.

Given the specific conditions in Dubai where dust can accumulate rapidly, it's recommended to have a professional indoor environmental inspection done. This will help ensure that not only are there no health risks from lingering particulates but also that your HVAC system is functioning optimally without any blockages.

If you're concerned or if you observe symptoms like persistent coughing, sneezing, or difficulty breathing, it's time to contact a professional. Saniservice can assist with these services and their number is 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email them at hello@saniservice.com.

Regular maintenance of your HVAC system, especially after such events, is crucial for maintaining good indoor air quality. It’s not just about the dust either; pollutants like mould can also thrive in humid conditions that might follow such storms if proper ventilation isn’t maintained.

Remember, keeping your living environment clean and well-ventilated post-dust storm is key to avoiding long-term health issues. If you haven't already done so, clean all surfaces thoroughly with a damp cloth or sponge and ensure good air circulation within the premises.

Hope this helps! Stay safe and healthy!
