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.

Who should address the dust from construction?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent fine dust settling on everything in my bedroom. It’s especially noticeable on my furniture near the windows, which face a construction site that started a few months ago. The dust is so bad it seems to coat my bedding when I change sheets. Who is responsible for this – should my landlord be addressing this with the developers?

The dust issue you're experiencing is indeed concerning and can be quite uncomfortable. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, construction activities are common and often lead to dust settling on nearby properties. Given your situation where a new construction site has started close to your residence, it's important to consider both the source of the dust as well as the regulations that govern such scenarios.

According to the Federal Institute of Water, Environment and Energy (FOWEE) in Dubai, developers and contractors are responsible for managing dust from their sites. This includes implementing measures like water sprinklers, barriers, and regular cleaning to minimize dust disturbance during construction phases. It’s essential to note that while these guidelines exist, enforcement can sometimes be inconsistent.

Given the persistent nature of the dust settling on your furniture and bedding, it's prudent to contact both your landlord and the developers involved in the nearby construction project. Your landlord might need to take steps to protect your property from further damage, especially if this is a result of negligence by the developer. However, since it’s a shared responsibility between all parties involved, you could also reach out directly to the construction site management to report the issue.

For serious cases or when initial communication doesn't yield results, I'd recommend scheduling an independent professional inspection. Companies like Saniservice (you can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation) specialize in indoor environmental quality assessments and can provide expert analysis on your dust issues.

In the meantime, there are some practical steps you can take to mitigate the effects of the dust:

1. Use HEPA filters in air purifiers to capture fine particles.
2. Regularly clean your furniture and bedding with damp cloths.
3. Close windows during peak hours when construction activity is highest.
4. Consider using a dehumidifier if humidity levels are high, as this can exacerbate the dust settling.

Remember, addressing such issues promptly ensures you maintain good indoor air quality and minimizes health risks for your family. Taking proactive steps now could prevent more significant problems later on.

Hope this helps!
