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.

How can we prevent dust from settling during sandstorms?« Back to Previous Page

After the sandstorm last week, I noticed a thick layer of dust settling on everything in my living room—especially on the window sills and furniture. The air also feels heavier and less breathable lately. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits too. What can we do to prevent this from happening again?

Well, it's certainly frustrating to deal with such an issue during sandstorms. In the UAE and especially in Dubai, sandstorms are a common occurrence, bringing with them a lot of dust that can settle on surfaces and affect air quality. Here’s what you can do to prevent further issues:

Firstly, understanding the local regulations is crucial. The UAE has strict standards for indoor environmental quality, but during sandstorms, it's essential to ensure your home or office meets these conditions. You could consider getting a professional inspection from companies like Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) to assess the air quality and identify any potential issues.

Secondly, keeping windows closed is key during sandstorms. Dust and sand particles can enter through open windows, making things worse inside your home. Use heavy curtains if you don't have window shutters available as these can help reduce dust entry.

Thirdly, using HEPA filters in air purifiers or vacuum cleaners with HEPA filtration systems can make a huge difference. These systems are designed to capture fine particles including dust and allergens, improving the overall indoor air quality during sandstorms.

Fourthly, regular cleaning is essential. During and after sandstorms, it's important to clean surfaces such as furniture, window sills, and floors more frequently. Use a damp cloth or microfiber dusters which can trap more dust than dry ones. For carpets, consider vacuuming with attachments that can reach under furniture.

Moreover, maintaining good indoor humidity levels is also beneficial. High humidity can help keep dust particles from floating in the air. A dehumidifier might be useful to keep your space comfortable and clean.

Lastly, try using natural repellents like neem oil or essential oils which are known for their dust-repelling properties. Spraying these lightly around your home could provide an additional layer of protection against dust settling.

Remember, during severe sandstorms or if you notice any health concerns among family members, it's always best to consult with a professional. They can offer tailored advice based on the specific conditions in your area and recommend the best course of action.
