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.

Am I allergic to dust storm particles?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I’ve noticed a persistent dry cough and irritated eyes whenever I spend time outside. The air feels particularly thick with particles, especially in my open balcony where I often leave plants to dry. Is there anything specific I should be concerned about or steps I can take to prevent this from affecting me and my family further?

It sounds like the dust storm we experienced last month might have some lasting effects. In Dubai and the UAE generally, such storms can bring a mix of particulate matter that includes sand, soil, and other particles which could irritate your respiratory system and eyes. Whether you are allergic or just sensitive to these particles, it's important to take steps to protect yourself.

Firstly, you should consider conducting a professional inspection by calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com. They can help identify if there are any specific allergens in your environment and suggest the best course of action. In the meantime though, here are some practical tips that could help alleviate your symptoms:

1. Stay Indoors: When storms hit, try to stay indoors as much as possible. Keep windows closed and use air conditioning if available. This will filter out outdoor dust and pollutants.

2. Use Air Purifiers: Invest in HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters for your home. These can help remove fine particles from the indoor air, making it easier to breathe.

3. Wear Respiratory Masks: Consider wearing a mask when you have to go outside. Look for masks that are specifically designed for filtering particulates like N95 or FFP2/3 masks which offer better protection.

4. Wear Goggles and Use Eye Drops: The irritation in your eyes could be due to the particles in the air. Wearing goggles can help, especially if you plan on being outdoors a lot. If you find that your eyes are constantly irritated, using lubricating eye drops might provide some relief.

5. Keep Plants Indoors: While it's nice to let plants dry out on your balcony, during stormy periods, it’s best to bring them inside or cover them with a protective tarp.

6. Regular Cleaning: Dust and clean regularly to minimize indoor allergens. Use vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters and consider cleaning surfaces with a damp cloth to trap particles.

7. Consult a Doctor: If your symptoms persist despite these steps, it might be wise to consult an allergy specialist who can perform tests to determine if you have any specific allergies and suggest appropriate treatments.

Remember, Dubai's environmental regulations are stringent, but even so, it’s crucial to stay vigilant about indoor air quality during such events. By taking proactive measures, you can reduce the impact of these storms on your health.

If you feel that professional help is needed or symptoms worsen, don't hesitate to reach out for a consultation.
