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 urgent are ground-floor sandstorms?« Back to Previous Page

After the sandstorm last week, I noticed a layer of fine, yellow dust settling on everything inside my ground-floor apartment. The smell is almost overwhelming in the living room, and it’s making me and my family feel unwell. How urgent do you think this issue is, and what can we do to protect ourselves from these frequent sandstorms?

The urgency of dealing with sandstorms, especially for those living on ground floors like yourself, can't be understated. In the UAE and particularly Dubai, these storms are a common occurrence, but their impact can vary significantly based on factors such as intensity and duration. Given your situation where you noticed a fine yellow dust layer in your apartment, it’s imperative to take action.

Firstly, the sandstorms in this region can contain particulate matter that not only affects visibility but also poses respiratory health risks. The fine particles can irritate your airways, causing discomfort and potentially triggering asthma attacks or other respiratory issues. Given your description of an overwhelming smell and feeling unwell, it's quite possible these symptoms are related to the dust and its composition.

Given the situation, I would advise you to take immediate steps to protect yourself and your family:

1. Ventilation Management: Close all windows and doors tightly, as even ground floors can be affected by sandstorms due to their strength. Use air purifiers if available; they can help filter out some of the particulates.

2. Cleaning: Thoroughly clean surfaces using a damp cloth or mop to avoid spreading dust around. Focus on areas where dust tends to accumulate like window sills, door frames and corners.

3. Respiratory Protection: Consider wearing masks when you need to be outside during the storm. If you have any existing respiratory conditions, speak with your healthcare provider about additional protective measures.

4. Professional Inspection: Given that these storms can leave behind significant dust accumulation, it might be wise to schedule a professional inspection by Saniservice. They are experts in handling such situations and can provide you with a thorough assessment of the indoor air quality as well as recommendations for long-term solutions.

5. Stay Informed: Keep an eye on weather forecasts so you can plan ahead and take necessary precautions before another storm hits.

Remember, while you might be taking immediate steps to protect yourself, it's crucial to address any lingering issues that may arise from these storms. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations regarding sandstorms but following best practices will ensure your indoor environment remains as healthy as possible during such events.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you need further assistance or want to schedule a professional inspection.

Stay safe and healthy!
