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 indoor air quality affected by dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

Since the heavy smog from the recent dust storm settled into our building last week, we’ve noticed a strange haze in my apartment on the third floor. The air feels thick and makes it hard to breathe sometimes, especially when I’m trying to nap during the day. My kids have been complaining of persistent coughing and runny noses ever since. Has anyone else experienced similar issues? Could this be due to the dust storm or could there be a more serious indoor air quality problem that needs addressing?

Is Indoor Air Quality Affected By Dust Storm?

Yeah, indoor air quality can absolutely be affected by dust storms. Back here in the UAE and especially Dubai, we've seen some pretty severe ones this past week and they sure can bring about issues like haze and thick air.

The recent dust storm you're experiencing could very well be the cause of your symptoms. The fine particles of sand and dust that settle on surfaces inside buildings can lead to a weird haziness in the air and make it hard to breathe. For kids, this is a serious concern as their respiratory systems are still developing and they're more vulnerable to irritants.

However, it's important not to jump to conclusions just yet. There could be other factors at play too that we need to rule out. For instance, mold growth can occur after such storms if there's been any water damage or humidity increase. That might explain the runny noses and coughs your kids are having if it’s more than dust irritation.

If you're concerned about what's happening in your apartment, I recommend calling a professional inspection team. At Saniservice, we offer expert indoor air quality assessments that can help identify any issues related to this storm or anything else affecting the air inside your home.

Don't wait for symptoms to worsen before acting. We can run tests and provide remediation solutions if necessary. You don't want your family enduring poor air quality when there are steps you can take right now. Give us a call at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com, let's get that air cleaned up.

Just remember, while dust storms are common here in the UAE, they shouldn't compromise our indoor environments to this extent. Let's keep our homes and families healthy by addressing any issues quickly.
