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 indoor symptoms from sandstorm dust avoidable?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent sandstorm that lasted for days, I’ve noticed a persistent dry cough and a bit of wheezing whenever I’m indoors. The windows are usually closed to keep the sand out, but it still feels like the air is not very clean. Could these symptoms be related to the dust and sand from the storm? What steps should I take to improve the air quality in my home?

Yeah, indoor symptoms from sandstorm dust can be managed and mitigated to some extent. In the UAE, particulate matter (PM) levels soar during a sandstorm which can lead to respiratory issues like coughing and wheezing. The PM10 particles are particularly concerning as they're small enough to enter your lungs.

In dubai, there's no specific regulation that directly addresses sandstorms but the air quality index (AQI) is monitored closely by the federal authority for combating desertification and dust storms, known as NADMA. However, it’s always wise to keep an eye on their alerts especially during a prolonged sandstorm.

First off, try to increase indoor humidity levels with a humidifier, this can help reduce respiratory irritants in the air. Avoid using fans or air conditioners that recirculate outdoor air, instead opt for an air purifier with HEPA filters if your unit is old or not equipped adequately.

Ensure you close windows and doors tightly to prevent sand from entering your home as it's a common cause of irritation. Regularly clean surfaces and carpets to remove dust and debris. You can also use microfiber cloths which are better at trapping fine particles than cotton ones.

It’s important to keep an eye on local air quality reports, if they suggest that conditions are particularly bad, consider reducing outdoor activities or staying indoors as much as possible. Also, try to limit the amount of time you spend in areas with high dust levels such as near windowsills where sand may settle.

For more serious cases or persistent symptoms, it's advisable to have a professional inspection done by a company like ours at Saniservice. We can assess your home’s air quality and provide recommendations tailored for your specific situation. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you'd like to schedule an appointment. Call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key during sandstorms in dubai and the uae. Stay informed, take preventive measures, and don't hesitate to seek professional help when needed.
