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 fine sand particles harmful after dust storms?« Back to Previous Page

After the dust storm that hit Dubai this week, I’ve noticed a persistent dry cough and my little one has started sneezing non-stop. The windows in our second-floor apartment have been wide open since the storm passed, and now I’m worried about the fine sand particles lingering inside. Have anyone else experienced similar symptoms or know if there are any precautions we should be taking?

Hey there,

Fine sand particles from dust storms can indeed be quite harmful. In the UAE and especially Dubai, dust storms are more than just a nuisance; they carry fine particulate matter that can seriously affect indoor air quality and your health.

After a dust storm, it's not uncommon to experience symptoms like dry coughs or sneezing, as you've noticed. The persistent presence of sand particles inside can lead to respiratory issues, particularly for those with pre-existing conditions such as asthma or allergies. Children and the elderly are especially vulnerable due to their weaker immune systems.

The UAE doesn't have strict regulations specifically targeting dust storm aftermaths, but it is wise to take precautionary measures. Opening windows immediately after a storm can introduce these harmful particles into your home. It's recommended that you keep your windows and doors closed for at least 24-48 hours following the storm to allow any lingering particulates to settle outside.

You might consider using HEPA air purifiers, which are effective in capturing fine dust and other allergens. Regularly cleaning surfaces with a damp cloth can also help remove any settled particles. However, if you notice your symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to contact a professional for an indoor air quality assessment. At Saniservice, we offer expert inspections that can identify the extent of particulate matter in your home and recommend appropriate remediation steps.

If you're concerned about what to do next, give us a call at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information and support. We're here to help ensure your indoor environment is safe and healthy.

Hope this helps!
