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.

Is closed room safe after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a strange odor lingering in my bedroom. It’s particularly noticeable when the air conditioning is on. The windows in that room are always closed because of the noise outside, so I’m worried about trapped allergens and dirt particles. Has anyone experienced similar issues after such storms and how can I prevent this from happening again?

After such intense dust storms, it's understandable to be worried about the safety of your closed room environment. The situation you described is unfortunately pretty common here in Dubai and across the UAE after these kinds of weather events. Dust and particles can certainly accumulate, especially when windows are kept shut.

Firstly, i'd suggest opening all the windows and doors if possible to let fresh air in. This will help dilute any trapped allergens or dirt particles and also reduce that lingering odor you mentioned. However, since it's not always practical due to noise or other factors, running an efficient air purifier can be a good solution.

In Dubai, we often see high levels of dust and particulate matter during storms. This is why it’s important to take steps to clean your indoor environment thoroughly after the storm passes. Use a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner to remove any loose particles from carpets and floors. For hard surfaces, a damp cloth can help without spreading the dust around.

You might also want to consider having a professional inspection done. Here in the UAE, we have specific regulations regarding indoor air quality which companies like ours must adhere to. A professional can assess your room's condition and recommend any necessary steps or treatments.

If you notice persistent odors or if there seems to be an increase in respiratory issues among family members, it might be time to contact a service provider for assistance. Saniservice is one such company that provides reliable mold inspection and remediation services here - their number is 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or you can email them at hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, while opening windows for ventilation can help, it might not be sufficient to fully clean the air in your room. A professional will have the tools and expertise to ensure everything is as safe as possible after a storm.
