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 responsible for cleaning after sandstorms?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent sandstorms, I’ve noticed a persistent musty odor coming from the living room carpet, especially when we open the windows. My son has been complaining of shortness of breath and coughing, which happens more frequently since the storm. Given that this is a rental property, am I responsible for cleaning and addressing these issues to ensure better air quality for my family’s asthma?

Absolutely, you're responsible for maintaining a clean and healthy living environment, especially after sandstorms. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, these storms can introduce significant amounts of dust, allergens, and pollutants into your home. The musty odor from your carpet might be due to moisture trapped there by the storm, which could be conducive to mold growth.

Given the recent sandstorm and the symptoms your son is experiencing, it's important to address this situation promptly. Asthma can indeed be triggered or worsened by exposure to dust, allergens, and mold spores. It’s crucial to act quickly to prevent any potential health issues for your family.

Firstly, it’s highly recommended that you conduct a professional inspection of your home. This will help identify the source of the musty odor and ensure there's no hidden mold growth. You can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection with Saniservice—a leading company in environmental remediation and indoor air quality management.

In the meantime, here are some steps you can take:

1. Ventilate: Open windows when possible but use fans to circulate clean air through your home. Avoid opening windows during high dust periods.
2. Clean Carpets and Furniture: Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to remove dust and allergens from carpets, curtains, and furniture. Regular cleaning can significantly reduce the presence of irritants.
3. Control Humidity: High humidity can promote mold growth. Use dehumidifiers to maintain an optimal indoor humidity level between 30% - 50%. Ensure good airflow by opening windows or using fans.
4. Inspect for Mold: Look out for signs of water damage, such as discoloration on walls and ceilings, which could indicate hidden mold growth. If you find any, consult with a professional.
5. Consult Your Son’s Doctor: Inform his healthcare provider about the recent sandstorm and the symptoms he's experiencing. They might recommend specific treatments or adjustments to his asthma management plan.

Remember, your rental agreement likely requires you to maintain a clean and safe living environment. Taking these steps will not only improve air quality but also protect the health of your family while respecting local regulations.

Taking charge now can prevent more serious issues down the line, ensuring a healthier home for everyone.
