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 desert dust be causing my kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the sandstorm last week, I noticed a fine dust settling on everything in our living room. Even with the windows and doors tightly closed, there’s still a layer of it on the coffee table and my son’s toys. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately, and I’m worried it might be because of all this desert dust. Could this really be causing their symptoms?

Certainly! Desert dust can indeed be causing your kids' coughs. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we often experience periods of high sand and dust levels due to regional weather patterns like sandstorms or even just strong winds blowing across desert areas.

The fine particles in desert dust can irritate respiratory passages and trigger coughing. These particles might contain allergens, microorganisms, and other pollutants that could be exacerbating your children's symptoms. The situation is particularly concerning given their increased susceptibility to respiratory issues.

Given the recent sandstorm you mentioned, it's not surprising to find a layer of desert dust on surfaces in your living room despite having tightly closed windows and doors. Dust particles can enter through small gaps or even via air conditioning systems if they aren't properly filtered.

To address this issue effectively, I recommend scheduling a professional indoor environmental inspection. In the UAE, companies like Saniservice can provide detailed assessments of air quality and identify potential sources of irritation in your home. They might also suggest ways to improve filtration systems or other measures to reduce dust levels.

In addition to professional help, here are some practical steps you can take:
1. Increase indoor humidity using a humidifier; this can help keep the air moisture level at about 40-50% which reduces dust mites and allergens.
2. Use HEPA filters in your air conditioning units or install standalone portable ones to capture fine particles.
3. Regularly clean surfaces with damp cloths, which help trap more dust than dry sweeping.
4. Ensure that outdoor activities are limited during high dust periods if possible.

Remember, if symptoms persist despite these measures, it might be wise to consult a healthcare professional for further advice tailored to your family's needs.
