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 linked to our children's coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm last month, we’ve noticed a persistent cough in both of our children. The air feels heavy and there's this strange odor that’s hard to pinpoint. We’re worried about any potential health risks in our home, especially since we live on the 5th floor with no direct access to outdoor spaces. How urgent is it to address these symptoms and what should we do first?

Dust storms can indeed be linked to your children's coughs. In the UAE and specifically in Dubai, dust storms are common, especially during certain times of the year. These events can kick up a lot of particulate matter that might contain allergens, pollutants, or even some microorganisms that could contribute to respiratory issues.

Given your situation, it’s important to first rule out whether the air quality inside your home has been compromised by these storms. The heavy sensation in the air and the strange odor suggest potential indoor air quality (IAQ) concerns. Here are a few steps you should consider:

1. Ventilation: Check if your home is properly ventilated. Dust storms can bring in airborne particles that might not be filtered out of your HVAC system or your home’s ventilation. Ensure that filters are clean and replace them if necessary.

2. Humidity Levels: High humidity after a dust storm can create an environment where mold spores thrive. Check for any signs of moisture damage, such as musty odors or visible dampness in areas like bathrooms or kitchens.

3. Professional Inspection: Given the persistent coughs and the unusual smell, it might be wise to call in professionals who specialize in indoor environmental quality. You can contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a thorough inspection of your home.

4. Air Quality Testing: We recommend testing the air quality inside your house to see if there are any pollutants present. This will help in understanding the exact nature of the problem and taking appropriate action.

5. Consultation with Healthcare Professionals: Since your children have persistent coughs, it’s also a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional. They can provide medical advice and recommend treatment options based on their assessment of your kids’ health.

Remember, dust storms are common in Dubai, but they shouldn't lead to long-term respiratory issues if you take the necessary precautions. Addressing these symptoms promptly is key to ensuring your family's well-being.

Do not hesitate to reach out for professional assistance to safeguard the air quality and overall health of your home environment.
