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.

Should we open windows despite dust concerns?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm that hit Dubai, I've noticed my son has been having more frequent coughing fits, especially in our bedroom at night. The windows in there are rarely opened due to sand concerns, but now I’m worried it might be a breeding ground for allergens and dust mites. Should we consider getting an air purifier or should we try to open the windows occasionally, even with all the dust?

Absolutely! In the UAE, specifically in Dubai, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial given our arid climate and occasional dust storms. Opening windows can indeed help alleviate issues like those your son has been experiencing. However, it's important to approach this with a bit of caution.

Dubai’s recent dust storm might have stirred up a lot of allergens and particulate matter, which could be contributing to the coughing fits you're noticing in your child's bedroom. While opening windows can certainly help circulate fresh air, especially during less severe conditions, it's not always practical due to environmental concerns like sand.

Considering the frequency of dust storms, an air purifier might be a smarter long-term solution for your home, particularly in rooms where windows rarely open. Air purifiers with HEPA filters are highly effective at capturing allergens and particulates as small as 0.3 microns, which can significantly reduce irritants in the air.

However, if you do decide to keep windows closed, there are still steps you can take:

1. Regular Cleaning: Dust mites and other allergens love cozy environments like those rarely opened rooms. Regularly clean your bedding, curtains, and carpets using vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters.
2. Humidity Control: High humidity can foster mold growth. Use dehumidifiers to keep the relative humidity in your home below 60%.
3. Professional Inspection: Even if you don't notice any visible signs of mold or dust mites, it's wise to get a professional inspection every few years to ensure there are no hidden issues.

Remember, keeping the air clean is key to managing allergies and asthma symptoms effectively. If your child’s condition worsens or doesn’t improve with these measures, consulting an allergist might be necessary.
