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.

Can leaving windows open trigger asthma attacks?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that my daughter has been having more frequent asthma attacks. The bedroom window was left open to let some fresh air in, but now it seems like there’s this fine layer of dust everywhere, even on surfaces that hadn’t seen sunlight for months. Is there anything specific I can do to clean and keep the allergens at bay?

Leaving windows open can indeed trigger asthma attacks. In Dubai and the UAE, our climate often sees rapid changes that can lead to dust storms, as you experienced recently. Dust particles, pollen, mold spores, and other allergens can easily enter your home through an open window during such weather events.

In your case, it's understandable why your daughter has been having more frequent asthma attacks given the recent dust storm and the fine layer of dust accumulating in your bedroom. Open windows allow these irritants to infiltrate indoor spaces, which may exacerbate asthma symptoms for those sensitive to them.

To address this issue effectively, consider a multi-step approach:

Firstly, conduct a thorough cleaning of your home, focusing on removing as much dust as possible. Use a HEPA vacuum cleaner and damp cloths to minimize the redistribution of allergens into the air. Pay special attention to surfaces like carpets, curtains, and bedsheets where dust can accumulate.

Secondly, once you've cleaned, keep windows closed during high-risk times, especially when there are weather alerts for dust storms or sandstorms. This will help to reduce exposure to outdoor pollutants inside your home.

Thirdly, consider using an air purifier with a HEPA filter. These devices can significantly improve indoor air quality by capturing fine particles that might trigger asthma attacks. In the UAE, where indoor environments can sometimes be quite dry due to the climate, running a humidifier can also help maintain optimal moisture levels which is beneficial for respiratory health.

Lastly, if you find that your daughter's asthma symptoms persist despite these measures or if they worsen significantly, it would be wise to seek professional advice. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer services including air quality assessments and remediation techniques tailored to local conditions.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for managing asthma in the UAE climate. For assistance with professional inspections or further guidance, feel free to call 800-MOLDS or send an email to hello@saniservice.com.
