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.

How can we protect our children during sandstorms?« Back to Previous Page

Since moving into our new home near the outskirts of Dubai a year ago, we’ve been dealing with frequent sandstorms. Just yesterday, during one particularly intense storm, my children were inside playing in the living room when I could see the fine sand particles swirling through the air around them. It’s so thick that it feels like there’s a layer on everything within an hour of the storm passing. How can we protect our family from these harmful effects and ensure they stay safe during these storms?

Protecting your children during sandstorms is crucial to ensure their health and safety. In the UAE, specifically Dubai, sandstorms are a common occurrence due to its geographical location near the desert. As an expert in indoor environmental quality and building sciences, I can provide you with some practical tips to safeguard your family.

Firstly, it's important to understand that sandstorms pose several risks to health, including respiratory issues from inhaling fine particulate matter. In the UAE, there are no specific regulations for indoor air quality during such events, but maintaining a clean and safe environment in your home is key. Regularly check weather forecasts to anticipate upcoming storms and take necessary precautions.

During a sandstorm, keep all windows and doors tightly shut. Use heavy curtains or blinds if needed to block out the fine particles from entering. This will help reduce the amount of sand that can infiltrate your living spaces.

Filtering the air is essential. Invest in high-quality HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters for your air conditioning and ventilation systems. These filters are designed to capture tiny particulates, including sand particles, ensuring cleaner air for you and your family. Regularly clean or replace these filters as per the manufacturer's guidelines.

Additionally, you can use portable air purifiers with HEPA filters in areas where your children spend most of their time, such as the living room or bedrooms. This will help maintain a safer breathing environment when storms strike unexpectedly.

For added protection, consider using masks designed for dust and sand particles when venturing outside during severe storms. These are available at pharmacies and specialized stores.

Regularly clean surfaces in your home to remove accumulated sand. Use microfiber cloths which can trap more particles than regular ones. Mop the floors with water to wash away visible particles, but ensure you dry them thoroughly afterward to prevent moisture buildup that could attract other allergens or mold.

Lastly, it's recommended to have a professional inspection of your home’s sealing and air quality systems every few years. This will help identify any potential issues before they become problematic during sandstorms. If you notice persistent indoor air quality issues, don't hesitate to contact professionals for advice.
