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 storms causing indoor air quality issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm a few weeks ago, I noticed an awful sneeze-inducing dust cloud when I opened my bedroom window. The air in there is so thick with dust that it feels like I can't breathe properly. My kids have been coughing and wheezing every night, which has me worried. Has anyone else experienced similar issues after storms or do you have any tips on how to clean up the worst offender in your home?

Yes, storms can definitely cause indoor air quality issues. The dust storm that hit the UAE a few weeks ago is likely to have left behind an awful amount of dust and particulates inside your home. This can be particularly problematic for individuals who suffer from allergies or asthma.

In Dubai/UAE, there are specific regulations regarding indoor air quality (IAQ) and how it affects public health. The Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA), along with the Dubai Health Authority, have guidelines on managing IAQ to protect residents' health.

For your situation, here’s what you can do:

Firstly, ensure that all windows are tightly sealed before opening them again. This will prevent a fresh influx of dust from entering your home. Once it's safe to open windows, consider using air purifiers equipped with HEPA filters. These can help remove fine particles and allergens from the air.

Cleaning is crucial in tackling this issue. Start by removing heavy furniture from your bedroom to access all corners. Use a damp cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to capture dust effectively. Pay special attention to areas like under beds, behind curtains, and around window sills where dust tends to accumulate.

If you have carpeted areas, consider professional steam cleaning as carpets can trap significant amounts of allergens. For hard surfaces, use products designed for allergy sufferers which are less likely to spread allergens back into the air during cleaning.

Given your family’s symptoms, it might be wise to get a professional indoor air quality inspection. Here in the UAE, companies like Saniservice (you can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) offer comprehensive IAQ assessments and remediation services.

Lastly, maintain good ventilation by using exhaust fans when cooking or showering and consider installing an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) to improve air circulation without letting in too much outdoor dust. Regularly checking your HVAC filters and replacing them as needed can also help manage indoor pollutants.

Remember, keeping your home clean and well-ventilated is key to reducing allergens and improving overall IAQ.
