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.

Can indoor dust cause respiratory issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent sandstorm, I've noticed a layer of fine dust settling on everything in my living room, including the furniture and electronics. It's been about two weeks since it settled, but even after cleaning, it keeps coming back. My family is starting to feel some respiratory issues, which has me worried. Do you think this dust can be managed at home or should we consider professional help?

Indoor dust can indeed cause respiratory issues. In the UAE and Dubai specifically, desert dust is a common culprit that can affect air quality indoors. After those sandstorms you've experienced, it's quite normal to see fine particles settling on surfaces. But yeah, they can get into your home and cause some problems.

First off, let’s talk about what we're dealing with. In the UAE, the desert dust (or khamaseen) consists of tiny particles that can be as small as 10 microns or less – that's pretty microscopic! These particles are loaded with allergens like pollen, spores, and even dust mite waste. They also carry pollutants, metals, and other irritants which can agitate your respiratory system.

Now, regarding the situation in your living room - it seems you've already taken initial steps by cleaning but the dust is persisting. This could be due to several factors: the particles might have settled deeply within your furniture or electronics; the windows or doors might not be fully sealed against outside entry; and if there's poor ventilation, dust can circulate and settle back on surfaces.

To address this, I'd recommend a few steps:

1. Regular Cleaning: Dust and vacuum with HEPA filters regularly to capture those fine particles.
2. Use Humidifiers: Keeping the air slightly humid (30-40% RH) can help keep dust from becoming airborne so easily.
3. Seal Gaps: Ensure all windows, doors, and gaps are properly sealed against sandstorms.
4. Professional Assessment: Given that your family is experiencing respiratory issues, it might be wise to have a professional environmental inspection done. Our company, Saniservice, offers such services in the UAE region and can provide a comprehensive evaluation of indoor air quality.

Call us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on how we can help manage your indoor environment better. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key to keeping everyone healthy during such sandstorms!

Hope this helps!
