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.

Where is this white dust coming from?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a fine white dust settling on everything in our bedroom. It’s particularly noticeable on the windowsills and furniture near the construction site next door. We’ve lived here for two years and just can’t figure out where it’s coming from or how to stop it. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

The white dust you're noticing might be due to construction activity near your residence. In the UAE, building sites can produce significant amounts of particulate matter that can travel through the air and settle on nearby surfaces. This phenomenon is common during rainy weather as moisture helps particles adhere more easily to surfaces.

In Dubai specifically, there are regulations in place for construction dust management under the UAE Federal Law No. 12 of 2008 concerning Environmentally Harmful Activities. Construction sites must implement measures such as covering materials, using water suppression systems, and maintaining proper site security to control dust emissions. However, it's not uncommon for dust from nearby projects to spread beyond the immediate construction zone.

To identify the source precisely, a professional inspection by an environmental consultancy or building sciences expert would be beneficial. They can use specialized equipment like particle counters or air samplers to pinpoint the exact cause and extent of the dust problem.

In the meantime, you could take some preventive steps:
• Use HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters in your home’s ventilation system.
• Keep windows closed during windy or rainy weather to minimize dust entry.
• Regularly clean surfaces with a damp cloth to reduce accumulation.
• Consider using air purifiers which can help filter out fine particles.

If the issue persists, it might be wise to contact a professional service. You could reach out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com for a consultation and remediation plan tailored to your situation.

Remember that maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, especially in areas with frequent construction activity. Regular checks and prompt action can help mitigate the effects of dust on your living space.
