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

After the recent dust storm that hit Dubai this week, I’ve noticed a persistent musty smell in my bedroom, even with the windows tightly shut. My kids have been complaining of sore throats and coughing more than usual, and I’m worried it might be from all the dust blowing around outside. Have anyone else experienced similar health issues during these storms?

Yes, dust storms can indeed cause health issues at home. In the UAE and specifically Dubai, we've seen an increase in respiratory problems during these events. The recent storm you mentioned isn't unusual for this time of year, and it often leads to a musty smell due to the accumulation of fine particulate matter inside homes.

The dust contains various particles including pollen, soil, sand, and even traces of pollutants from construction sites or industrial areas. These can irritate the respiratory system leading to sore throats, coughing, and other discomforts in children and adults alike. It's not uncommon for people to experience these symptoms after such storms.

Many folks have reported similar issues in their homes. Some may find that air conditioning filters get clogged quickly, worsening indoor air quality and making the environment less comfortable. It's important to be aware of these potential health impacts especially if you or your family members are sensitive to dust or allergens.

For those experiencing persistent musty odours and respiratory symptoms, a professional inspection could provide clarity on the situation. Our company offers services that can help identify any underlying issues with indoor air quality and recommend necessary steps for improvement. You can call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email us at hello@saniservice.com for further assistance.

In the meantime, here are some practical tips:
1. Keep windows closed during storms to prevent dust from entering.
2. Use a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter in your air conditioning system to trap fine particles.
3. Regularly clean and replace air filters as recommended by manufacturers.
4. Consider using dehumidifiers, especially if you have noticed mold growth or moisture issues.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for a healthy home environment. If the situation persists or worsens, don't hesitate to reach out for professional help.
