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.

Should we worry about indoor air quality after sandstorms?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent sandstorms, I’ve noticed a persistent dry cough and throat irritation in both me and my partner. The AC in our apartment seems to be circulating the same air, which feels a bit off. Given we’ve lived here for 2 years and just noticed this, should we be concerned about indoor air quality risks? What kind of professionals could help us assess if there are any health hazards in our home, and what can the typical costs range like for such services?

Indoor air quality (IAQ) is indeed a matter of concern especially after sandstorms. The particulate matter, dust, and irritants brought by the sand can accumulate indoors, leading to respiratory issues like coughing and throat irritation. Given your symptoms have persisted for some time now, it's prudent to be concerned.

In Dubai/UAE, regulations regarding IAQ are not as stringent compared to countries with more severe pollution issues, but maintaining good air quality in homes is still essential. The UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) doesn't mandate IAQ testing or standards for residential buildings, yet it's recommended to ensure a healthy environment.

Considering your symptoms, you should definitely look into professional inspection services. Companies like Saniservice can help assess the air quality in your home and identify potential hazards such as mold, allergens, and other irritants that might be lingering from the sandstorm. The typical cost for an IAQ inspection ranges between AED 500 to AED 2000, depending on the extent of the assessment.

To get started with a professional evaluation, you can call Saniservice's hotline at 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com. They offer comprehensive testing and remediation services tailored for residential properties.

In the meantime, some practical steps include:

• Regularly clean your air conditioning filters to prevent dust from circulating
• Use a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner to remove fine particulates
• Increase indoor humidity levels but avoid over-humidification which can lead to mold growth
• Open windows when possible to allow fresh air circulation

Remember, if you experience severe symptoms or they persist despite cleaning and maintenance efforts, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional as well. Indoor air quality assessments are crucial for maintaining a healthy living environment in the UAE, especially during periods of environmental stress like sandstorms.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you need help identifying a qualified service provider or want more detailed guidance on IAQ management in your home.
