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.

Why is dust settling inside from windows?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a fine, gritty dust settling on everything inside my apartment near the windows. It’s especially noticeable on my books and furniture by the living room window. The dust seems to come in waves, more prevalent during sandstorms. Has anyone else experienced this or know how to deal with it?

Dust settling inside your apartment from windows is quite common, especially after rain events and sandstorms. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we frequently experience these phenomena due to our location near the Arabian Desert.

The fine grit you notice on your books and furniture is likely a mix of dust particles and sand that gets carried through the air during storms or high winds. This issue can be exacerbated by the design of buildings here; many constructions in this region are not fully sealed against the elements, allowing these airborne particles to infiltrate interiors.

It's important for residents to understand that while a certain amount of dust is normal, excessive amounts may indicate underlying issues with your building’s seal or ventilation systems. The UAE does have specific regulations regarding indoor air quality and construction standards (as per federal law 21/1995 on the Construction Industry), but regular maintenance and inspections can ensure compliance.

To deal with this issue effectively:

1. Regular Cleaning: Dusting regularly, especially after rain events or sandstorms, is crucial to keep your living space clean.

2. Sealing Gaps: Check for any gaps around windows and doors where dust may enter and consider sealing them if necessary. This can be a DIY project using weatherstripping materials.

3. Air Purifiers: Using high-quality air purifiers with HEPA filters can help reduce airborne particles inside your home, making the environment more pleasant and healthier.

4. Professional Inspection: For serious cases or if you’re concerned about long-term health effects, it’s advisable to call in professionals for an inspection. We at Saniservice offer comprehensive indoor environmental assessments that include dust analysis.

5. Consultation with Architects: If the problem persists despite your efforts, consulting with a local architect who specializes in climate adaptation might provide more tailored solutions for your specific building design and location.

Remember, it’s crucial to maintain a healthy living environment, especially as we experience fluctuations in weather patterns here in Dubai. Should you have any further concerns or require assistance, don’t hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for expert guidance.

Stay safe and healthy!
