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.

Is poor indoor air quality causing dust issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a persistent fine dust settling on everything in my living room. Despite cleaning diligently every day, it’s still there, especially on surfaces near windows. The air feels thick and stale, even with the AC running. Could this be due to poor indoor air quality? What can I do to improve it and prevent this from happening again?

Indoor air quality issues can indeed be the culprit behind your persistent dust problems. In the UAE, especially during sandstorms like the ones we experienced last month, high levels of particulate matter (PM) in the air are common and can lead to an increase in indoor dust levels. The fine particles can settle on surfaces, even after cleaning, because they're light enough to remain suspended for extended periods.

The thick and stale feeling you’re experiencing could be due to reduced ventilation during these storms or from the AC system not effectively filtering out all the particulate matter. UAE building codes require certain standards for air quality and ventilation systems, but individual homes might still face challenges based on their specific design or location.

To address this issue, I recommend a few steps:

Firstly, consider investing in an air purifier that can handle high dust loads. HEPA filters are particularly effective at capturing fine particles. Additionally, using activated carbon filters can help with odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that might have been introduced during the storms.

Secondly, ensure your AC system is serviced regularly to maintain its efficiency in filtering out particulates. The air conditioning units may need cleaning or replacement of filters depending on their age and usage. In Dubai, it’s common for dust levels to rise even after a storm due to the fine particles remaining suspended in the air.

Thirdly, you might want to consider professional indoor air quality testing to assess your home's conditions more accurately. This can help identify any specific issues that need addressing and ensure compliance with local regulations like those set by the UAE’s Ministry of Energy and Industry or other relevant bodies.

Lastly, keep up good cleaning practices but also be mindful not to stir up dust when you clean; try using microfiber cloths or dampening surfaces lightly. Regularly opening windows for short periods can help refresh the air in your home, especially if it's safe to do so given local weather conditions.

If these steps don't significantly improve the situation, a professional inspection might be necessary. You could call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality isn't just about cleaning; it’s also about ensuring your home's systems are working effectively to keep dust and pollutants at bay.

Hope this helps!
