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.

Should we address indoor haze ourselves?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a strange haze lingering in the living room despite running the air purifier. My kids have been complaining of coughs and runny noses lately too. We’ve lived here for two years and just noticed this, but now wonder if it’s something the landlord should be addressing or if there's something we can do ourselves to improve the indoor air quality?

Absolutely, addressing the indoor haze is crucial for your family's health and comfort. The dust storm you experienced last month could have left behind fine particles that are still affecting the air quality in your living room. Given the UAE regulations which prioritize public health, it’s important to take steps now.

Firstly, it’s vital to understand that while an air purifier can help filter out some of the smaller particles, they may not be sufficient on their own for a thorough clean up. The persistent haze and your kids' symptoms suggest there might be more at play than just dust. It could include mold spores, pollen, or even volatile organic compounds from building materials.

Given that you've only noticed this issue recently after two years of living in the property, it’s worth considering whether the environment has changed or if the initial construction standards were compromised over time. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, there are strict regulations regarding indoor air quality (IAQ) as outlined in the Building Control Regulations 2017. These ensure that new and existing buildings meet certain IAQ standards to protect occupants from harmful pollutants.

However, with the symptoms your kids are experiencing, it would be wise to seek a professional inspection to assess the extent of the issue. Many reputable companies in Dubai offer comprehensive air quality tests which can identify not just dust or mold but also other irritants like formaldehyde emissions from furniture or chemicals from cleaning products.

If you decide to go this route, call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation and inspection. They can provide detailed reports on the air quality in your home and recommend appropriate remediation steps.

In the meantime, you can take some immediate actions:
1. Increase ventilation by opening windows when it’s safe to do so (make sure there's no risk of bringing more outdoor pollutants inside).
2. Use a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner regularly to remove dust from carpets and furniture.
3. Keep indoor plants as they help in improving air quality naturally through the release of oxygen and absorption of carbon dioxide.
4. Ensure that your HVAC system is serviced regularly to maintain its efficiency.

Remember, while these steps can improve the situation significantly, a professional assessment will give you a clearer picture and ensure that any underlying issues are properly addressed.
