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.

Are dust storms and cleaning products causing our coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm that hit our area, I noticed a persistent cough in both of my kids and myself. The air feels thick and heavy, especially in the evening when we clean the living room after iftar. The windows are closed to keep out the sand, but the smell of cleaning products lingers even with the AC on. Have others experienced similar symptoms during this time? Could it be related to the dust or cleaning products we’re using?

Are dust storms and cleaning products causing our coughs? Well, it sounds like the thick air and lingering odors from your recent cleaning efforts might be taking a toll on your family's health. In the UAE, especially during the dusty months, indoor pollutants can indeed trigger respiratory issues.

Dust storms bring in a mix of fine particulate matter and allergens that can irritate your lungs. The closed windows may keep dust out but also trap these irritants inside. On top of that, strong cleaning products often contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which can emit unpleasant odors and even affect air quality if not properly ventilated.

Given the current situation in Dubai, it's understandable to be concerned about your family’s well-being. If symptoms persist or worsen despite your efforts to improve indoor conditions, a professional inspection might be necessary. Here are some steps you could take:

1. Ventilation: Try to open windows for short periods when dust storms aren't as severe, allowing fresh air to circulate.
2. Low-VOC Products: Switch to environmentally friendly cleaning agents that emit fewer harmful chemicals. Some brands specifically cater to this in the UAE and are less likely to cause respiratory issues.
3. Humidifiers & Air Purifiers: These can help reduce dryness and filter out allergens, making breathing easier.

If you find these measures aren't sufficient or if coughing continues, consider contacting a professional environmental inspection service like Saniservice. They can provide a thorough analysis of your home’s indoor air quality and offer remediation solutions that might be needed in such conditions. You can reach them at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial during periods of high external pollution like dust storms. Keep an eye on local weather reports and take proactive steps to safeguard your family's health.
