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 the odor post-dust-storm harmful?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a couple of weeks ago, I’ve noticed this strange odor lingering in our living room. It’s not too bad when we first open windows to air it out, but it builds up again quickly. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits, and I’m worried about what might be causing it. Could it be something related to the storm or is there a bigger issue with cleaning that I’m overlooking? Any advice on how to clean and prevent this would really help.

The odor you're experiencing after the dust storm could indeed be harmful. Dust storms can carry particles that are hard to see but full of allergens and pollutants which might have settled in your living room. In dubai, there are specific regulations regarding indoor air quality that should be taken into consideration.

Firstly, it's important to determine if the odor is coming from sources such as mold growth or chemical residues from the storm. Mold can thrive on damp conditions, and the lingering dust may create a perfect breeding ground for them. Mold spores can cause respiratory issues, especially in children like yours. In the UAE, health authorities recommend that anyone experiencing persistent coughing or other symptoms after an event such as this call 800-MOLDS for professional inspection and remediation.

To clean up effectively, start by removing any visible dust with a damp cloth to avoid spreading it further. Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to capture fine particles. However, if you notice any water damage or increased humidity in the area, that might be an indicator of mold growth which requires immediate attention and professional handling.

Next, consider opening windows for ventilation when weather permits. This can help reduce odors and improve indoor air quality. If the smell persists, it may indicate a more serious issue that needs to be addressed by professionals.

Lastly, ensure you maintain good indoor hygiene practices such as regular cleaning of surfaces, using air purifiers with activated carbon filters (which can also remove unpleasant smells), and keeping humidity levels in check by using dehumidifiers.

Don't hesitate to reach out to companies like Saniservice for a professional assessment and remediation if the issue seems beyond your control. Call 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance.

Remember, it's crucial to address any potential health risks promptly to ensure the well-being of you and your family in the UAE climate conditions.
