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 right to be concerned about health risks from dust?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm that lasted several days, I’ve noticed a layer of fine, gritty particles on my window sills and in the corners of the living room. It’s been particularly noticeable since we’ve only recently moved into our new apartment, and I’m not sure if it’s something the landlord is responsible for cleaning or if this is expected with the weather conditions here. Should I be concerned about the health effects from this dust, and what should I do next?

Absolutely, you're right to be concerned about the health risks associated with dust storms. In the UAE, particularly during periods of high dust activity like what you've experienced, fine particles can contain a variety of substances that might pose respiratory and other health hazards.

In Dubai, the environmental conditions are often characterized by frequent dust storms due to its geographical location and climate. The particulate matter can include sand, dust, pollen, and even pollutants from nearby industrial areas or construction sites. These particles can irritate your eyes, nose, and throat, and in some cases, they might exacerbate asthma and other respiratory issues.

Given the recent prolonged dust storm that you mentioned, it’s essential to take precautions. First off, keep an eye on local air quality reports which can give you a good indication of particulate matter levels (PM10, PM2.5) in your area. The UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment provides regular updates on these conditions.

When dealing with indoor dust from such storms, it's crucial to clean thoroughly but safely. Wear a mask when cleaning to prevent inhaling the dust particles. Use a damp cloth or mop to capture as many fine particles as possible without stirring up more dust into the air. Regularly opening windows for ventilation can help remove some of the particulates, but during high-storm periods, it’s better to keep them shut.

If you're still concerned about health effects, particularly if you experience symptoms like coughing, wheezing, or shortness of breath, it might be wise to consult a healthcare professional. They could provide guidance based on your specific health condition and the severity of local air quality during the storm.

Regarding your apartment, while landlords have responsibilities to maintain cleanliness, the frequency and thoroughness of cleaning can vary. If you're unhappy with the current state of cleanliness, consider having an independent environmental inspection done by a professional company like ours at Saniservice. We can provide detailed reports on indoor air quality and recommend remediation actions if necessary.

Remember, your health is paramount. Don't hesitate to take action to ensure it's protected during these challenging weather conditions.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information or assistance with professional inspections and remediation services.

Take care of yourself and your family during these times!
