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 our respiratory issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, my family has been experiencing persistent coughs and runny noses. The air in our first-floor apartment seems unusually dry lately, and there's a noticeable layer of dust on every surface, even though I've been cleaning regularly. Has anyone else noticed similar issues post-storm or could this be causing these symptoms?

Dust storms can indeed be a significant trigger for respiratory issues. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we often see an increase in dust-related problems post-storms due to high levels of particulate matter and allergens that get deposited on surfaces and in the air. The persistent coughs and runny noses you're experiencing might be linked to this influx of dust.

Firstly, it's important to note that in the UAE, especially considering the recent dust storms, maintaining indoor air quality is crucial for health. Regulations such as those outlined by the UAE’s Environment Agency-Abu Dhabi (EAD) emphasize the importance of regular cleaning and proper filtration systems to mitigate the effects of external pollutants.

Given your observations, it would be wise to implement a thorough cleaning routine that focuses not only on visible dust but also on areas where particles tend to accumulate. Use a damp cloth instead of dry sweeping as it can stir up more dust into the air. Additionally, consider using a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner which is more effective at capturing smaller particulates.

The noticeable layer of dust in your apartment could be contributing significantly to your family’s symptoms. It's also worth considering that the unusual dryness of the air might exacerbate these issues by making nasal passages drier and more prone to irritation.

If you're finding it challenging to manage or if symptoms persist, a professional inspection is recommended. Our company, for instance, can conduct an indoor environmental quality assessment which includes evaluating the impact of recent storms on your living space and providing tailored solutions.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality in Dubai during dusty periods requires proactive measures. Regular cleaning, use of proper filtration systems, and seeking professional advice when needed are key steps to ensuring a healthier environment for you and your family.
