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 fine dust from sandstorms harming our respiratory health?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent sandstorm, I’ve noticed a persistent fine dust settling on everything in the living room, even after constant cleaning. My son has been complaining of a dry cough since we returned from visiting my parents out of town last week. Given our location right by the sea, is this normal? Could it be causing respiratory issues for my family and what can I do to reduce the dust inside the house?

Yes, fine dust from sandstorms can indeed affect your respiratory health. In the UAE and specifically in Dubai, desert dust events are common occurrences, especially during certain times of the year. These storms can carry particulate matter that may include sand particles, pollen, microorganisms, and even small bits of metal or glass. When these settle indoors, they can pose a risk to your family’s health.

In terms of UAE regulations, you should be aware that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets standards for air quality. While indoor dust is not specifically regulated, excessive levels may indicate poor indoor environmental quality which could harm health. The recent sandstorm would likely have introduced higher than usual particulate matter into your home.

The fine dust you're noticing might be causing your son's dry cough as it can irritate the respiratory tract. Dust particles inhaled can cause irritation and inflammation, leading to symptoms like coughing, sneezing, or even more severe issues such as asthma attacks.

To reduce indoor dust levels and improve air quality, consider implementing these steps:
• Use high-efficiency filters on your HVAC systems to capture fine particulates.
• Regularly clean surfaces with a damp cloth to avoid dry sweeping which can stir up dust particles.
• Encourage the use of HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) vacuums for thorough cleaning.
• Keep windows and doors closed during sandstorms if possible, to prevent outside air from entering your home.

Given the ongoing situation, it might be wise to have a professional indoor environmental inspection. At SanIService, we can help assess the current state of your home’s air quality and provide recommendations tailored to your specific environment. Our team is equipped with the latest tools and techniques to ensure a safe and healthy living space for you and your family.

Should you decide to take action, feel free to contact us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on our services. We’re here to help you breathe easier in your home.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key during sandstorm events and beyond. Regular maintenance can go a long way towards protecting the health of your family.
