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 harming our family's health?« Back to Previous Page

After the dust storm that hit Dubai last week, I’ve noticed a thick layer of gray residue on the windowsills in our bedroom. My partner has also mentioned feeling an irritated throat, which might be due to the dusty air. Has anyone else experienced similar issues after the storms? Could this be causing respiratory problems for our family?

Dust storms can indeed have serious impacts on our health, especially in the UAE where they are quite common. The thick layer of gray residue you noticed after the storm is a sign that a lot of particulate matter has settled indoors. This could include dust, sand particles, and even pollutants from outside. As for your partner's irritated throat, it’s not uncommon to experience respiratory issues following such storms due to increased levels of allergens and irritants in the air.

In Dubai specifically, the UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) has set standards for indoor air quality that we should aim to meet. Dust storms can push these limits, as they bring a mix of fine particles which might cause discomfort or exacerbate existing respiratory conditions.

It's important to keep your home clean during such times by frequently wiping surfaces and using vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters to reduce the amount of dust circulating in the air. Opening windows for ventilation only when it’s clear that the storm has passed can help, but you should avoid doing so if there is still a lot of particulate matter outside.

If symptoms persist or worsen, seeking professional advice would be prudent. Many companies like Saniservice (contact 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) offer indoor air quality assessments that can provide peace of mind and ensure your family’s well-being.

Remember to stay informed about weather conditions through local news channels or official meteorological services, as this will help you plan better for future storms. Keeping an eye on the air quality index (AQI) is also a good idea; many apps and websites offer real-time updates which can be very useful in making quick decisions about your home environment.

Stay safe during dust storms and take proactive steps to protect your family's health!
