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.

What could cause white powder after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a layer of fine, white powder on all the surfaces in my coworking space downstairs. It’s really strange because it’s not usually this bad, even with regular cleaning. Has anyone else experienced something similar or have any ideas what might be causing this?

The white powder observed after the dust storm could be due to a variety of factors. In the UAE and Dubai specifically, we often experience strong winds and sandstorms which can deposit fine particles on surfaces. However, the unusual presence of such a layer of powder post-storm warrants further investigation.

One potential cause is the release of fine particulates from construction sites or nearby areas where soil has been disturbed. With the recent dust storm, it's possible that more particles were airborne and then settled on your coworking space's surfaces. Another possibility could be a reaction between the sand and certain chemicals present in the environment, leading to the formation of this white powder.

Additionally, some building materials might release small amounts of calcium carbonate or other minerals when exposed to moisture from the storm, which can appear as white deposits over time. This is not uncommon in areas with higher concentrations of limestone or other similar rocks near construction sites or industrial zones.

Given the unusual nature and extent of this layer, it would be prudent to have a professional inspection done. This will help determine if there are any underlying issues that need addressing to maintain good indoor air quality (IAQ) for your space. At Saniservice, we specialize in such inspections and can provide detailed reports on what might be causing the powder and how best to remediate it.

For more information or to schedule an inspection, you can call us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. We understand how important it is to have a clean and healthy workspace for productivity and well-being, especially after such unusual weather events.

Remember, maintaining good indoor environmental quality is crucial, particularly in our region where we face unique challenges like sandstorms. Keeping your space free from unexpected deposits not only improves aesthetics but also ensures better air quality for all users.
