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

After the heavy dust storm we experienced last week, I’ve noticed a persistent cough in both of my children. The living room was particularly dusty, even though I cleaned it regularly before the storm hit. My wife and I are worried about triggering asthma attacks given our family history. Have any of you faced similar issues or do you have tips on how to clean more effectively to prevent asthma symptoms?

Dust storms can indeed be a trigger for respiratory issues especially in kids who have asthma. The heavy dust and sand particles they bring could irritate the airways and exacerbate coughing and other asthma symptoms. In Dubai, where we frequently experience such weather conditions, it's important to take extra precautions.

Firstly, ensure your home is thoroughly cleaned post-dust storm. Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter which can capture smaller particles that may be lingering in the air after the storm has passed. For areas like the living room, consider using microfiber cloths and damp mopping to trap dust rather than just dry sweeping which might spread it around.

UAE regulations don’t specifically mention cleaning post-dust storms but it's wise to follow general guidelines for indoor air quality set by local health authorities. Keeping windows closed during such times can help prevent outdoor pollutants from entering the home. Use air purifiers with activated carbon filters if possible, as they are effective in removing volatile organic compounds and fine particulate matter.

Given your family history of asthma, it would be wise to conduct a professional indoor environmental inspection. This will not only confirm if there's been an increase in dust or other allergens but also provide advice on how to improve your home’s air quality long-term. Our company, Saniservice, offers such services and can help you create a tailored plan for maintaining better indoor air.

If the cough persists despite these measures, it might be time to consult a doctor who can assess whether there's an underlying asthma issue that needs treatment or management.

Remember, keeping your home clean and free of allergens is key. Regular cleaning with proper tools and techniques will go a long way in protecting your children’s health during such weather events. Call us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on our services.

Take care and hope this helps!
