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 I be concerned about ash in my living room?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last week, I noticed a thick layer of fine gray powder settling on everything in my living room windowsill. It’s not just dust; it feels almost like ash or some kind of fine grit that won’t come off with regular cleaning. My family has been coughing more than usual lately and I’m worried it might be related to this stuff in the air. Can someone tell me if this is a normal concern or if I should call in an expert for help?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about the ash in your living room. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, we've seen several instances where heavy dust storms can result in unusual particles like ash settling indoors. This could potentially affect indoor air quality and lead to respiratory issues.

Given that you're noticing a thick layer of fine gray powder that doesn't come off with regular cleaning, it's likely more than just common household dust. Ash or fine grit can be a serious concern as it may contain harmful substances such as silica, which is known for its potential adverse health effects when inhaled.

In the UAE, regulations surrounding indoor air quality are relatively stringent but it’s still important to ensure that your living environment remains safe and healthy. The Ministry of Community Development (MoCD) and other relevant bodies enforce guidelines to maintain public health standards, but they rely on regular checks from individuals like you to report any unusual occurrences.

Considering the symptoms reported by your family—more frequent coughing—it could be a sign that these particles are affecting respiratory health. It's advisable to contact an expert for a professional inspection as soon as possible. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule a visit from our team of environmental inspectors.

Our experts will assess the situation, identify the source of the ash and provide remediation solutions to ensure your indoor environment is safe once again. Remember, maintaining good air quality in your home is crucial for everyone's health, especially during periods when unusual dust particles are present.

Stay proactive about your family’s well-being and don't hesitate to take action if you have any concerns.
