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 this white powder harmful to breathe?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a lot of fine, white powder settling on everything in our living room. It’s everywhere – on the furniture, windowsills, even my kids’ toys. I’m really worried it might be harmful for them to breathe this stuff. Should I start deep cleaning right away or is there something else I should do first?

Is this white powder harmful to breathe?

The fine, white powder you're seeing could be a variety of things from the recent dust storm. It might just be common dust but it's definitely concerning as well as potentially harmful if it contains anything like silica or certain types of dust that are associated with construction sites or industrial areas.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we do experience these kinds of weather events that can stir up a lot of fine particulate matter. However, without knowing what exactly caused this powder, it's hard to definitively say if it is harmful to breathe.

To be on the safe side and ensure your family’s health isn’t at risk, I would recommend calling in a professional for an inspection first. Local regulations such as those set by Dubai Municipality may require certain standards of indoor air quality that can help guide us on what to look out for during our assessment.

Saniservice is one company you could reach out to - their number is 800-MOLDS or they offer email support at hello@saniservice.com. They have experience in analyzing such situations and will be able to provide a thorough inspection that can give us peace of mind about the air quality in your home.

If after consulting with an expert, it's determined that the powder is indeed harmful, deep cleaning should definitely be part of the process. Focus on areas like the living room where you've noticed the most accumulation and try to use HEPA filters during cleaning sessions as they can trap tiny particles effectively.

In the meantime, keep windows and doors closed to prevent more dust from entering your home. And remember, if you notice any unusual symptoms in yourself or your kids after exposure, it's always wise to seek medical advice promptly.

Do not panic but take this situation seriously - your family’s health is paramount!
