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 kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm last month, I noticed a persistent dry cough in both my kids when we’re in the living room. The air feels thick with dust, especially during evening hours. It’s really concerning because this is the first time it’s happened since we moved into our new apartment two years ago. Has anyone experienced similar issues and how did you address it?

Dust storms can indeed be the culprit for respiratory issues like persistent coughs. The recent dust storm you experienced could have brought about a significant increase in airborne particulates that might not only be visible but also include allergens and irritants, which are particularly harmful to children. In Dubai, we've seen instances where such storms exacerbate indoor air quality, especially in homes with limited ventilation.

Given the severity of your situation, it's crucial to assess the indoor environment for potential issues. Persistent dry coughs can be indicative of an underlying problem that needs professional attention. I recommend contacting a reputable environmental inspection and remediation service like Saniservice to conduct a thorough assessment of your living room area. They can provide you with a detailed report on the current air quality, identifying any allergens or irritants present.

In the meantime, here are some steps you could take:
• Ensure that all windows are tightly sealed during dusty weather.
• Consider using an air purifier equipped to filter out small particles and allergens.
• Regularly clean surfaces in your living room where dust can accumulate.
• Clean your HVAC system, including your ducts. Although the dust storm might have contributed, regular maintenance is essential.

Remember, regulations in Dubai require building owners to maintain a certain level of indoor air quality. If issues persist despite these measures, it may be necessary to seek further advice from local authorities or environmental health experts.

If you need assistance with this matter or want to schedule an inspection, you can reach out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. We're here to help ensure the air your family breathes is as clean and healthy as possible.

Taking these actions should help alleviate some concerns, but it's important to address any lingering issues seriously.
