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 harmful to kids?« Back to Previous Page

Since moving into our new home near the airport a few months ago, we’ve noticed dust storms much more frequently. Last night, there was another one, and it was particularly intense—thick clouds of sand filled the sky as we were trying to get dinner ready in the kitchen. The windows are sealed shut, but I can still feel particles settling on everything. My kids have been complaining about their sore throats and it’s making me really anxious. Are there any specific steps or precautions I should take to protect them during these dust storms?

Dust storms can indeed be harmful to kids and anyone else within the region. In the UAE, particularly in areas like Dubai, dust storms are a common occurrence due to the local climate and geography. The intense sand particles carried by these winds can pose several health risks.

Firstly, the fine particulate matter (PM10) present in the air during dust storms can irritate the respiratory system of children, leading to sore throats, coughing, and other respiratory issues. In the UAE, where many homes have sealed windows and limited ventilation systems, these particles are more likely to settle indoors, exacerbating the problem.

Secondly, exposure to high levels of dust and sand can trigger asthma attacks in vulnerable individuals, including children who may already suffer from this condition. The irritants can also cause allergic reactions or exacerbate existing conditions like eczema.

In light of the recent dust storm that affected your area, it's important to take some proactive measures:

1. Keep windows and doors closed as much as possible. Use air purifiers with HEPA filters if available to help clean indoor air.
2. Avoid outdoor activities during or just after a dust storm when particulate levels are highest.
3. Encourage children to stay indoors where the air is cleaner, especially during peak hours of the storm.
4. Monitor your kids' health closely and watch out for any signs of distress such as wheezing or coughing. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional.
5. Keep humidity levels in check with dehumidifiers to prevent moisture buildup which can promote mold growth.

If you are concerned about the indoor air quality or notice persistent issues despite your efforts, it might be wise to have a professional inspection conducted. Our team at Saniservice can provide comprehensive assessments and recommendations tailored to the UAE environment. Feel free to call us on 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information.

Taking these steps will help protect your family during dust storms, ensuring they remain as comfortable and healthy as possible.
