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.

Could dust storm cause my son's asthma symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a persistent musty odor in my son's room, and he’s been complaining of chest tightness and coughing more than usual. The air conditioning seems to be circulating that smell throughout the house despite running it non-stop. Could this be causing his asthma symptoms?

Yes, the dust storm that hit last week could definitely be causing your son's asthma symptoms. The heavy winds and dry conditions associated with sandstorms can introduce a significant amount of particulate matter into the air, including dust, pollen, and even microscopic particles from construction sites or other sources. This influx of irritants can exacerbate existing asthma conditions.

In Dubai/UAE, during such events, it's not uncommon to experience an increase in respiratory issues, particularly among individuals with pre-existing conditions like asthma. The persistent musty odor you've noticed could be due to the accumulation of these particulates, mold spores, or even dust mites that thrive in damp environments.

Given your son's symptoms and the ongoing circulation of this smell throughout the house, it would be prudent to have a professional environmental inspection to assess the indoor air quality. This will help identify any hidden sources of irritation or contamination that could be contributing to his discomfort.

In Dubai, there are specific regulations concerning indoor air quality in residential buildings. It's recommended that you contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a thorough inspection and remediation plan if necessary. This includes testing the air for allergens, mold, and other irritants.

Until professional help arrives, here are some steps you can take to alleviate your son's symptoms:

1. Ensure that the air conditioning system is clean and properly maintained. Regular servicing can help prevent the circulation of particulates.
2. Use a HEPA filter in your home to capture fine particles that may not be removed by standard filters.
3. Keep windows closed during dust storms, even if it feels hot inside. This will reduce the intake of outdoor pollutants.
4. Encourage your son to stay indoors and limit physical activity when outside conditions are poor.

Remember, early intervention can prevent symptoms from worsening. If his condition doesn't improve or worsens, seek medical advice promptly.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for professional assistance if you need it!
