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.

How can we protect kids from dust storms?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new apartment on the third floor of a building right next to the airport, dust storms seem more frequent. Just last week, during one particularly bad storm that lasted several hours, I could see the sand and dust swirling outside through my living room window. The kids have been coughing and sneezing non-stop since it happened. Is there anything specific we can do to protect them from the dust?

Hey there! Dust storms can indeed be quite troublesome, especially for the little ones. In Dubai and the UAE, we've got some unique climate conditions that make dust storms a bit more frequent than other parts of the world. When these storms hit, it's essential to take steps to protect your family, particularly the kids who might be more susceptible to respiratory issues.

First off, stay indoors as much as possible during a dust storm. Keep all windows and doors tightly closed to prevent any sand or dust from entering your home. It’s also a good idea to use air purifiers that can help filter out particles in the air. Make sure you have an air purifier with a HEPA filter; it's crucial for catching tiny particles like dust, pollen, and even some bacteria.

Another tip is to keep the humidity levels low inside your home. High humidity can exacerbate issues related to dust mites and mold growth, which could worsen any allergic reactions or asthma symptoms. Using a dehumidifier can help maintain a comfortable level of moisture in the air.

When it comes to cleaning up after the storm passes, be cautious! The dust that's been stirred up by the winds is often full of microorganisms, pollen, and other allergens. Wear a mask when cleaning to protect your lungs from inhaling these particles. A damp cloth or sponge can help you clean without stirring up too much dust.

If you notice any unusual odors or moisture issues in your home, it might be time for a professional inspection. Our company, Saniservice, offers professional indoor environmental inspections and remediation services to ensure that your living space is safe and healthy. We are here to help with any concerns related to mold, mildew, dust mites, and other allergens that could arise from the dust storms.

Remember, if you're concerned about the air quality in your home or if symptoms persist despite your efforts, don’t hesitate to reach out for a professional evaluation. Call 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com and we'll be happy to assist you.

Stay safe and healthy during these challenging times!
