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.

Can desert dust be prevented from entering my home?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent sandstorm, my bedroom windowsill is covered in a layer of fine, yellowish dust that won’t seem to budge no matter how many times I clean it. The air inside feels thicker, almost gritty, especially during the day when sunlight makes everything hazy. My husband and I have both been experiencing persistent coughs and sneezing fits lately. Is there any way to prevent this desert dust from getting into my home or at least reduce its impact?

Desert dust can be quite the nuisance especially after a sandstorm. Here in Dubai and the UAE, we often experience these storms, which bring in fine particulate matter that can settle on surfaces like your windowsill or even get into our living spaces.

To address your concerns regarding persistent coughs and sneezing fits, it's important to understand how desert dust affects indoor air quality. The dust particles are tiny – they're usually less than 10 micrometers in diameter (PM10) - making them easy to inhale deep into the lungs. This can trigger allergic reactions or exacerbate existing respiratory issues.

There are several steps you could take to reduce the impact of desert dust in your home:

Firstly, use a HEPA air purifier. These devices are specifically designed to capture fine particles like those found in desert dust. Make sure it's rated for your room size and position it strategically where the worst dust is likely to settle.

Secondly, seal off as many openings as possible. Deserts dust can enter through windows, doors, or even gaps around electrical outlets and switches. Consider using weather stripping on doors and applying silicone caulk to any visible cracks or gaps in walls.

Thirdly, use window shutters or blinds during storms. While they may not fully prevent entry, they will significantly reduce the amount of dust that gets inside when you open your windows for ventilation.

Lastly, regularly clean your home with a damp cloth or microfiber duster to trap and remove any settled dust before it becomes airborne again. For stubborn grime like what's on your windowsill, a gentle solution of water and mild detergent should do the trick.

Should these steps not be enough, or if you find that the dust is causing significant health issues for yourself or others in the home, I would recommend getting a professional indoor air quality inspection. In the UAE, such inspections can help identify sources of contamination and provide tailored solutions to improve your living environment. For assistance, contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (66537) or send an email to hello@saniservice.com.

By taking these measures, you can create a more comfortable and healthier indoor environment during sandstorms and beyond.
