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.

Am I allergic to dust storm residue?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I’ve been experiencing a persistent cough and some shortness of breath whenever I’m inside my apartment. The air feels thick, especially in the evening when it gets really still. Should I be concerned about indoor air quality or are these just allergies?

Hey there! I'm glad to hear from you. It's understandable that after the heavy dust storm last week, you might be experiencing some respiratory issues. While it could very well be allergies due to dust and other particulates, it’s important to consider your indoor air quality as well.

In Dubai and the UAE, we often see high levels of PM10 (particulate matter) during sandstorms which can irritate the lungs and cause coughing and shortness of breath. These particles can be quite heavy and may settle on surfaces in your apartment over time. The thick feeling you're experiencing could very well be related to this. However, it's not uncommon for people to confuse dust-related irritation with allergies.

To get a better understanding if the air quality inside your apartment is compromised or if there are allergens present, I'd recommend having an indoor air quality inspection. The regulations in Dubai, including those set by the Environmental Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) and the Municipality of Dubai, emphasize maintaining good IAQ to ensure public health.

If you do decide to proceed with a professional inspection, it’s best to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. They can conduct tests for indoor air pollutants, allergens, and provide recommendations on how to improve your living environment. This will help in determining whether the dust storm residue is causing these symptoms.

In the meantime, try using an air purifier with a HEPA filter to help remove larger particulates from the air. Make sure to keep windows closed during sandstorms and clean your apartment regularly by vacuuming carpets and washing curtains to reduce the amount of dust settling in your home.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for everyone’s health, especially those who are more susceptible like children or people with respiratory conditions. Don’t hesitate to seek further advice from a professional if symptoms persist!

Hope this helps!
Warm regards,
[Your Name]
