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.

Are sandstorms harmful to our health?« Back to Previous Page

We've lived in Dubai for two years now, and recently we've started noticing sandstorms more frequently. The last one was particularly bad – it lasted for about three hours yesterday afternoon, with thick yellow dust coating everything inside our apartment. Even though I closed all the windows and doors, there's still a fine layer of sand on every surface in our living room, including the furniture and my husband’s work desk by the window. The kids have been coughing since it cleared up; is this normal after such storms?

Absolutely, sandstorms can be quite harmful to our health, especially in the UAE context. They're not just an inconvenience; they carry a host of potential risks.

Firstly, the fine particles from these storms are typically made up of dust, dirt, and sometimes even industrial pollutants. When you mentioned the thick yellow dust coating everything inside your apartment, those were indeed the airborne particulates that can cause discomfort and health issues. The small size of these particles means they can easily penetrate deep into our lungs, causing irritation to the respiratory system.

For someone like yourself who noticed coughing in the children after a sandstorm, this is quite common. The fine particulate matter can trigger asthma attacks, exacerbate existing respiratory conditions, or even cause new ones. It’s not uncommon for people living in areas prone to such storms to experience symptoms like throat irritation, runny nose, and persistent coughs.

In Dubai, where the environment is known for its arid climate and frequent sandstorms, it's crucial to take precautions during these events. While you did a good job of closing all windows and doors, sealing out some of the dust, it’s essential to know that some particulates can still seep inside. A professional inspection might be necessary if symptoms persist or worsen.

If you're concerned about the health impacts on your family, I’d recommend giving us a call at 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for an assessment of the indoor air quality in your home. Our team can help identify any lingering contaminants and provide recommendations to ensure better breathing conditions post-sandstorm.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is paramount in protecting the health of you and your family. Regular cleaning with a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner might also be beneficial, as these filters are designed to capture even the finest particles that can irritate lungs.

Stay safe and take care!
