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 worsening indoor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms this spring, I noticed a persistent cough in both my daughter and me, especially when we spend time in our living room. The windows were open for a few days to air out the house after the storm, but now it feels like there’s more dust than usual even with regular cleaning. Could this be causing our respiratory issues? What steps should I take to improve the air quality in my home during these months?

Dust storms can indeed worsen indoor air quality and trigger respiratory issues like those you're experiencing. In the UAE, especially during spring, dust storms are common and can bring in a significant amount of particulate matter into homes. This might explain why you've noticed an increase in dust and coughing after opening your windows for airing out.

In Dubai/UAE, we often see high levels of PM10 (particles with a diameter less than 10 microns) and PM2.5 during these storms, which can easily enter your home even if the windows are partially closed. This fine particulate matter can irritate the respiratory system leading to coughing, sneezing, and other symptoms.

To address this situation, first, it's essential to ensure that the air quality in your living room is improved by sealing off entry points for dust. Use window coverings or temporary blinds to keep the storm out while allowing some ventilation when it passes. Another effective measure would be using a HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter on your air conditioning unit, if available. This can help capture those tiny particles and improve indoor air quality.

Considering how severe dust storms can impact health, I’d recommend having a professional inspection to assess the current state of your home’s indoor environment. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer professional environmental inspection services that can identify potential issues and provide remediation advice tailored for local conditions. Their contact number is 800-MOLDS or their email is hello@saniservice.com.

Regular cleaning should be intensified during these months to reduce dust accumulation. Use a damp cloth for surfaces, as it's more effective at capturing particles than dry cloths. Also, try to avoid activities that create dust, like vacuuming without a HEPA filter, until the storm has passed and air quality improves.

In conclusion, while it’s understandable that you want to keep your home well-ventilated during these times, ensuring that dust doesn't enter is crucial for maintaining good indoor air quality. Taking proactive steps like sealing entry points, using filtration systems, and regular cleaning can make a significant difference in reducing the negative effects of dust storms on your family's health.

Remember, if symptoms persist or worsen, it’s best to consult with a healthcare professional who may recommend additional measures or treatments tailored to your specific situation.
