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 indoor air issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had a few weeks ago, I've noticed an unusual amount of dust on every surface in my apartment. Even with the air conditioning running constantly, there's still a fine layer on everything, including my children’s toys in their room. My husband and I have been experiencing headaches and mild coughs that seem to worsen when we're inside more than usual. Have anyone else experienced similar issues or know of effective ways to combat this?

Dust storms sure can cause indoor air quality issues. In the UAE, especially during the dust storm season which often peaks in March to May, it's quite common for dust particles and fine particulates to get inside our homes despite our best efforts to keep them out. The recent dust storms have certainly left their mark on many apartments across Dubai and the Emirates.

In my experience, after such weather events, there’s an increase in visible dust, like what you've noticed covering everything from your children's toys to surfaces in other rooms. This isn't just unsightly but can also affect air quality. The fine particles aren’t only annoying; they can contain pollutants that could exacerbate health issues, especially for those with respiratory concerns.

It’s not uncommon for people to experience symptoms like headaches or mild coughs when the air quality drops during and after dust storms. These symptoms might seem to worsen indoors due to poor ventilation and recirculation of these particles.

To combat this issue, it's wise to take a multi-pronged approach:

1. Regular Cleaning: Dusting and cleaning surfaces thoroughly can help remove accumulated dust. Using microfiber cloths or damp cloths is effective as they capture more dust without leaving streaks.

2. Air Purifiers: Investing in air purifiers designed for high particulate matter might be beneficial, especially if you have sensitive family members. Models with HEPA filters are particularly effective.

3. Ventilation Checks: Ensure your home’s ventilation system isn't drawing in outdoor pollutants. Regularly checking and cleaning HVAC filters can make a big difference.

4. Professional Inspection: If the dust levels persist or if you're concerned about potential health impacts, it might be wise to call in professionals for an inspection. In Dubai, you could contact companies like Saniservice by dialing 800-MOLDS (66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com.

Remember that maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, and with the right strategies, you can mitigate the effects of dust storms on your living space. Stay proactive to keep both your home and family healthy!
