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.

Is dust from neighbors' construction harming my family?« Back to Previous Page

After the construction next door picked up pace a few weeks ago, I’ve noticed a persistent fine dust settling on all surfaces in my living room, especially near the windows. My kids have been complaining of scratchy throats and coughing more frequently, and I’m starting to worry it might be from this dust. Has anyone else experienced similar issues or know how to effectively address the problem?

Dust from construction work can indeed cause discomfort and potential health issues. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it's common to experience dust from neighbouring projects, especially during the peak building season. This dust can contain fine particles that might irritate your family’s respiratory system.

Firstly, it is important to note that according to the UAE Environmental Health Regulations, construction sites are required to implement measures to minimize dust and debris, including using water sprinklers, dust suppressants, and ensuring proper waste disposal. However, these regulations may not always be fully adhered to, especially during busy projects where time and cost pressures can take precedence.

Your kids complaining of scratchy throats and coughing more frequently could indeed be linked to the construction dust. Fine particles from dust can irritate the throat and lungs leading to such symptoms. It's crucial that you address this issue promptly to ensure their health isn't compromised.

To effectively deal with the situation, start by ensuring your home is well-sealed. Use air purifiers equipped with HEPA filters which are effective in capturing fine dust particles. Regularly clean surfaces and floors using a damp cloth or vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter.

If the issue persists, it would be wise to have your indoor environment inspected professionally. Saniservice, for instance, can offer an inspection where they will assess the air quality and provide recommendations based on UAE standards. Their contact details are 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or you can email them at hello@saniservice.com.

In the meantime, keep your windows shut when construction activity is high to minimize dust entry into your home. Also, encourage family members to avoid touching their faces and wash hands frequently especially after being outdoors where they may have been exposed to dust.

Remember, while temporary discomfort might be experienced during such periods, maintaining good indoor air quality can significantly reduce long-term health risks associated with construction dust exposure.
