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 sand particles from the dust storm harmful?« Back to Previous Page

After the dust storm that hit Dubai last week, we’ve noticed a layer of fine sand settling on everything in our bedroom. My kids started complaining about a persistent cough and my wife has mentioned her allergies acting up more than usual. Is there anything specific I should be looking out for or doing to protect them from these health effects?

Yes, sand particles from dust storms can be harmful. In the UAE, especially during dusty periods like we've been experiencing lately, these particles can contain more than just simple dirt. They may include fine particulate matter that can cause irritation to your respiratory system.

In Dubai, where air quality can be a concern, these dust particles might carry allergens, microorganisms, and even toxic substances depending on the source of the sand. Dust storms have been known to increase levels of PM10 (particulate matter with a diameter of 10 microns or less) which can exacerbate respiratory issues especially in children and individuals with pre-existing health conditions.

For your family's well-being, it’s important to take precautions. Ensure that everyone is staying indoors as much as possible during peak storm hours. Use air purifiers if you have them; some models are specifically designed for high-particle environments like dust storms. Also, keep windows shut and use window seals or curtains to block out the sand.

Regarding your kids' coughs and your wife's allergies acting up more than usual, it might be wise to get an indoor air quality inspection done by a professional. In the UAE, regulations require certain building standards for ventilation and air filtration systems, but household environments can vary greatly, so a specialized check-up could uncover any specific issues.

Additionally, regular cleaning of surfaces is crucial. Use microfiber cloths which are more effective at capturing fine particles than ordinary ones. Clean your HVAC system if you have one to prevent dust from circulating in the air. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical advice as soon as possible.

Lastly, don't hesitate to reach out for professional help. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive indoor environmental inspections and remediation services. You can call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com if you need further assistance. We're here to help ensure your family's health remains a priority during these challenging times.

Stay safe and healthy!
