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 dust storms trigger asthma attacks?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last week, I noticed a significant increase in my son's asthma symptoms. The dust had settled all over our living room carpet, and it seems to be causing him more trouble than usual. Given that we’ve lived here for 2 years and just noticed this pattern, is there anything specific I can do to prevent the dust from triggering his asthma attacks?

Dust storms can indeed trigger asthma attacks. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we experience regular sand and dust storms which carry a mix of fine particles, pollen, and other allergens into our homes. These particles can settle on surfaces like carpets, furniture, and even accumulate in corners or behind fixtures. When disturbed, they can become airborne again, leading to respiratory issues for those with asthma.

For your situation, it's crucial to take immediate steps to reduce dust levels in the living room where your son is experiencing more trouble than usual. Here are some practical tips:

1. Regular Cleaning: Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to clean carpets and upholstery. This helps trap small particles that might otherwise trigger an asthma attack.

2. Dust Settlers: Place dust-settling mats or rugs at the entrance of your home, especially if you have visitors who may bring in additional dust from outside.

3. Humidity Control: Maintain a relative humidity level between 40-50% to reduce the growth of mold and other allergens that can exacerbate asthma symptoms. Consider using dehumidifiers or air conditioners to control indoor humidity levels.

4. Ventilation: Proper ventilation is key, but avoid opening windows during high dust periods as this could bring more particles indoors. Instead, use air purifiers with HEPA filters which can help clean the air inside your home.

5. Professional Inspection: Given that you've noticed a pattern over 2 years and the recent increase in symptoms following a dust storm, it might be wise to have a professional environmental inspection done. This could identify any hidden issues and provide tailored solutions for your specific case.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is essential, especially when dealing with asthma. If your son’s condition worsens or if you are unsure about how to proceed, don’t hesitate to seek advice from healthcare professionals who specialize in respiratory conditions.
