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 storm grit harmful to kids' lungs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I’ve noticed a persistent fine layer of grit on all the blinds in my living room. My wife and I are really concerned about this getting into our children’s lungs, especially since their allergies have been acting up lately. Have you guys experienced anything similar after storms? How do you clean without making it worse for everyone’s health?

Is fine storm grit harmful to kids' lungs?

Yes, it can be. The fine particles that come from storms like the recent one we experienced here in Dubai can contain dust, pollen, and even small amounts of pollutants. For children, especially those prone to allergies or asthma, these particulates can irritate their airways leading to coughing, wheezing, or an exacerbation of their respiratory issues.

In the UAE, the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) does recommend regular monitoring of indoor air quality, particularly during times when there's an increase in environmental dust. The fine grit you've noticed on your blinds could be a mix of natural dust and other particulates that might have been kicked up by the storm.

To address this issue without worsening the situation for everyone’s health, here are some practical steps:

1. Vacuuming with HEPA Filters: Use a vacuum cleaner equipped with High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters to clean your blinds and other surfaces. HEPA filters can capture up to 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, which is great for reducing indoor dust.

2. Regular Cleaning: Dust the blinds gently using a damp cloth or microfiber dusters instead of sweeping or vacuuming them, as this can stir up more dust into the air.

3. Humidity Control: Keep your home’s humidity levels low to prevent dust mites and mold growth. Consider using dehumidifiers in areas where moisture is an issue.

4. Air Purification Systems: Invest in a good quality air purifier with a HEPA filter. This can help remove airborne particles from the indoor environment, providing cleaner air for your family.

5. Professional Inspection: If you're concerned or if your children's allergies persist despite these measures, consider getting a professional inspection by calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com. They can provide detailed assessments and recommendations tailored to your home.

Remember, the goal is to maintain a clean environment while ensuring that any cleaning activities don't create a dust storm of their own. With careful attention to these steps, you can help reduce the risk of respiratory issues for your children during such storms.
