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 nearby construction cause this new powder?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a fine, almost invisible powder accumulating on surfaces like our kitchen countertops and dining room tables. It’s particularly noticeable in the afternoon when sunlight filters through the windows. We’ve lived here for two years, and this is the first time we’re seeing such an issue. Is it possible that construction dust from nearby projects could be causing this?

Could nearby construction cause this new powder?

Absolutely! In dubai and the UAE, it's quite plausible that the fine powder accumulating on your surfaces is due to dust from nearby construction projects. The weather patterns here often contribute to such issues; the recent rainfall can cause loose particles in the air to settle more heavily on surfaces.

Construction activities generate a lot of particulate matter, especially during dry spells and dusty conditions. Once the rains come, this suspended material gets moistened and settles down, creating that fine powder you’re noticing. It’s not uncommon for such dust to travel significant distances, depending on wind patterns, making it possible for your area to be affected.

In the UAE, there are stringent building regulations in place to manage construction waste and dust. However, even with these measures, some dust can still escape, particularly during windy conditions or when work is carried out without proper containment systems.

If this issue persists or if you notice any structural damage or health concerns related to it, I'd recommend having a professional environmental inspection done. You can call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on how we can assist with such assessments.

For now, you could try some simple steps at home to minimize the dust impact:
1. Use a damp cloth to wipe surfaces instead of dry ones.
2. Keep windows closed during windy days and times when you notice the powder settling heavily.
3. Install air purifiers or HEPA filters in your living areas to help remove small particles from the air.

Remember, keeping an eye on any new developments around your neighborhood can also be helpful as they may have specific dust management plans that could affect your area during work periods.

Stay aware and proactive – this will ensure you're not caught off guard by similar issues in the future!
