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 sandstorms causing indoor air issues?« Back to Previous Page

Since the sandstorms started a couple of weeks ago, the constant dust has really taken a toll on my family. My son has been having terrible coughing fits, especially in the evenings when we stay indoors, and my wife complains about her sore throat too. The windows in our first-floor apartment are always closed due to the sand outside, but it still seems to get inside. Have anyone experienced similar issues or have any tips on how to manage this?

Yes, sandstorms definitely can cause indoor air issues. In the UAE and Dubai specifically, we've seen an increase in dust levels since those first few weeks of strong storms. The constant influx of fine particles into your home can indeed affect your family's health. In my experience, it's common for folks to report similar symptoms like coughing fits and sore throats during these times.

To start with, I would recommend keeping all windows and doors tightly closed as you are doing. Using air purifiers that have HEPA filters can be really effective in trapping those tiny particles. The environment here is quite dry which means the sand and dust tend to settle quickly, but they still manage to get inside through gaps.

Given your situation, I'd suggest calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a professional indoor air quality inspection. They can help identify areas of concern that might not be immediately obvious and offer customized solutions tailored to Dubai's climate.

In addition to these measures, regularly cleaning surfaces with microfiber cloths can help reduce the dust levels. You may also want to consider using humidifiers which can keep the air moisture level up slightly - this can prevent your nasal passages from drying out and irritate them further.

Lastly, try to limit outdoor activities during peak storm periods, and if you must go outside, wear a mask to protect against inhaling excessive dust.

Remember, staying informed about local weather forecasts is key. Many apps and websites provide sandstorm alerts which can help you plan your day accordingly. By taking these steps, you should be able to minimize the impact of sandstorms on your family's health and comfort.

Hope this helps!
