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 AC causing dust and health issues?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be causing issues lately. After the recent sandstorm, I noticed a strong dust cloud when we first turned it on. My kids have been coughing more than usual since then, and I'm worried about allergies or worse. Have anyone else experienced this with their cleaning services at the coworking space?

Absolutely, the AC can indeed be a significant source of dust and other particulates that could affect indoor air quality. In Dubai and the UAE, sandstorms are notorious for kicking up large amounts of dust, and these particles can easily find their way into your system when you turn on your AC post-sandstorm. This situation is not unique to your coworking space; many residents experience similar issues during such weather events.

In your case, it's quite possible that the strong dust cloud you noticed might be a result of the AC pulling in sand and dirt from outside. Since you've seen an increase in coughing amongst your kids, this could indeed point towards potential allergy or respiratory concerns.

Given the situation, I would recommend having a professional indoor air quality inspection done as soon as possible. In Dubai, there are specific regulations concerning indoor environments that must be adhered to, and ensuring that your air system is clean and functioning properly can help mitigate health risks.

You could consider contacting Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a thorough inspection and cleaning of your AC unit. They are experts in the UAE market and can provide you with detailed reports on the state of your air system and offer remediation if necessary.

Moreover, ensuring regular maintenance of your AC is crucial. It's recommended to have it serviced every 6 months at minimum to keep the filters clean and free from dust build-up. This simple step can significantly reduce the amount of particulates in your indoor environment.

Lastly, using HEPA filters can be a great addition as they are specifically designed to capture very small particles that might pass through standard AC filters. If you decide on such an upgrade, make sure it's done by a professional who understands local regulations and standards for air filtration systems.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key to avoiding health issues like allergies or respiratory problems, especially in a place with frequent sandstorms. Don't hesitate to take proactive steps now to ensure the well-being of your family.
