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 construction dust harm our health?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we experienced a few weeks ago, I’ve noticed an odd, almost acrid smell lingering in my bedroom. The air feels thick and sometimes my throat gets sore and my eyes water up when I’m inside, especially during the night. Given our location right next to construction sites, I’m worried about what might be causing this. Could poor indoor air quality from dust or other particles be affecting my family’s health?

Could construction dust harm our health? Yes, it can definitely pose risks to your family's well-being. Dust from construction sites often contains tiny particles that can irritate the respiratory system and eyes, leading to discomfort like sore throats or watery eyes. In Dubai/UAE, where we face various climatic conditions including dust storms, these airborne particles can be particularly harmful.

In the UAE, our indoor environment quality is governed by certain guidelines and regulations. The Building Control Department of the municipality has specific codes addressing air quality in commercial and residential buildings. However, these mainly focus on permanent structures and may not fully cover issues arising from temporary sources like construction dust, which can significantly affect your home's air quality.

Given that you're experiencing an acrid smell and discomfort especially at night near construction sites, it would be wise to seek professional advice promptly. A thorough indoor air quality inspection could help identify the source of the issue and recommend suitable solutions. At Saniservice, we offer reliable environmental inspections and remediation services tailored for the UAE market.

Remember that prolonged exposure to such conditions can lead to more serious health issues like asthma or other respiratory problems. To avoid this, consider implementing some basic preventive measures in your home:

1. Use air purifiers with HEPA filters to capture fine particles.
2. Keep windows and doors closed during dust storms and periods of high construction activity.
3. Regularly clean surfaces using a damp cloth to prevent dust accumulation.

If the situation persists or worsens, please don't hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a professional assessment. Your family's health is our priority and we're here to help ensure you live in a safe environment.
