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 odor from dust storm harm family health?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a strange odor lingering in our living room. It’s not unpleasant, but it lingers even after we’ve vacuumed and opened all the windows. My family hasn’t shown any immediate signs of illness, but I’m worried about the long-term effects on their health. Could this be something simple to handle myself, or should I consider professional help?

Yeah, it's understandable to be concerned about the odor that lingers even after cleaning and airing out your living room. After all those dust storms we've had here in Dubai recently, it can definitely bring some strange smells into our homes.

First off, let me share a bit of info on UAE regulations: Our local health and safety standards do recommend regular indoor air quality checks, especially post-disasters like the recent dust storm. But that doesn't mean you have to wait for an inspection if you're feeling uneasy about your home's air.

Now, regarding those odors from the dust storms – they can indeed carry various particulates and even some pollutants that might not be immediately obvious. If these remnants find their way into your home’s ventilation or settle on surfaces, they could potentially cause issues over time.

But before you start worrying too much, there are a few steps you can take to investigate and possibly resolve the situation yourself:

1. Ventilate: Keep windows open whenever possible to let fresh air in.
2. Clean: Deep clean your home focusing especially on areas that may have trapped dust or particles. Use HEPA filters if you have them as they’re great at catching tiny particles.
3. Check for moisture: Sometimes, after storms and heavy rains, dampness can lead to mold growth which could be the source of lingering odors. Inspect corners and hidden spots where moisture might accumulate.

If these steps don’t clear up the smell or if you notice any health concerns among your family members like sneezing, coughing, or irritated eyes, it would be wise to seek professional help. In Dubai, companies specializing in environmental inspections can perform a thorough assessment of your home’s indoor air quality and advise on necessary actions.

Remember, your family's health is priority number one. If you're still unsure or if the smell persists, give us a call at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance. We’re here to help ensure that your home environment remains safe and healthy.

Take care, and stay safe!
