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 causing health issues at home?« Back to Previous Page

Since the dust storm last week, we’ve noticed a fine sand settling on everything in our living room, even though the windows were shut tightly. My 5-year-old has been complaining of a persistent cough and my husband’s asthma seems to be flaring up more than usual. Have anyone else experienced similar health issues during these dust storms?

Dust storms can indeed cause health issues at home. In Dubai and the UAE, we often experience such storms which can bring in large amounts of sand and dust into our living spaces. Even though you've shut your windows tightly, fine particles from these storms can still make their way inside. The fine sand you mentioned could be causing the persistent cough in your 5-year-old and exacerbating your husband’s asthma.

In Dubai specifically, the UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) has set guidelines for air quality during dust events. While our local authorities work to mitigate these storms, it's crucial for individuals to take proactive measures at home to protect their health.

Firstly, it is recommended that you have a professional indoor environmental inspection done after the storm. This will help identify any additional issues and suggest appropriate remediation steps. For instance, if there are any moisture or mold concerns due to dust accumulation, Saniservice can assist with inspections and clean-up services. You may want to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for more information.

In the meantime, here are a few practical steps you could take:
1. Use high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters in your home to trap fine particles.
2. Dust and vacuum regularly with microfiber cloths or HEPA vacuums to minimize dust spread.
3. Keep windows closed during storms and use air purifiers if necessary.
4. Monitor indoor humidity levels, as moisture can lead to mold growth when combined with dust.

Given the sensitivity of children’s and adults’ health issues you've described, it might be wise to consult a doctor or asthma specialist for advice tailored to your family's needs.

Remember, taking these measures can significantly improve indoor air quality and protect your family from potential health impacts during dust storms. If you need further assistance or have concerns about the air quality in your home, don't hesitate to reach out to Saniservice at hello@saniservice.com for professional guidance.
