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 my family's symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

Since the last heavy dust storm two weeks ago, I’ve noticed a persistent dry cough and itchy eyes every time I open my windows in the evenings, especially when the wind is blowing from the desert direction. My kids have also been complaining of sore throats and runny noses, which they didn’t have before. Is this common for people living in Dubai during dust storms, or could there be something else at play?

Yes, dust storms can indeed cause your family's symptoms. In the UAE and specifically in Dubai, desert dust storms are common occurrences during certain seasons and conditions, often bringing with them a mix of sand, dust, and other particulate matter that can irritate respiratory systems and eyes.

In your case, the persistent dry cough and itchy eyes when opening windows especially when the wind is blowing from the desert direction sounds like classic symptoms caused by airborne particles. These storms can kick up high levels of suspended particles in the air, which can exacerbate existing conditions or trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Children are more prone to such effects as their respiratory systems are still developing.

The UAE has strict regulations regarding indoor air quality and health standards for dust control, but it's always a good idea to have your home inspected after severe storms to ensure that no significant issues arise from the influx of particulates into your living space. Professional inspection can help identify any potential allergens or contaminants that might not be visible.

If the symptoms persist even with closed windows and doors, it could indicate that there are other factors at play as well. Consider checking for signs of mold growth, which is a common issue post-storms due to increased humidity levels in the air.

For those experiencing persistent symptoms, I highly recommend reaching out for professional assistance. You can contact Saniservice by dialing 800-MOLDS or email us at hello@saniservice.com. Our experts are well-versed with UAE-specific regulations and can provide tailored recommendations to improve your indoor environment.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, especially during periods of increased dust activity. Regular maintenance and professional inspections can go a long way in ensuring that you and your family remain healthy amidst the challenges posed by desert dust storms.
