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 harmful to kids' breathing?« Back to Previous Page

After the sandstorm that hit Dubai a few days ago, I’ve noticed my kids have started to cough more frequently. The storm was so bad it made its way inside our apartment, even though all the windows were closed. Now they’re having trouble breathing at night and it’s really worrying me. Has anyone else experienced similar symptoms or know of any tips on how to protect ourselves from the health effects of sandstorms?

Yes, sandstorms can definitely be harmful to kids' breathing especially here in Dubai and the UAE. The particulate matter that gets carried by these storms can irritate respiratory tracts and lead to symptoms like coughing or difficulty breathing, which you're noticing now.

In the past few days, we've seen a significant increase in cases where families report similar issues with their kids. It's not uncommon for sandstorms to penetrate even well-sealed buildings due to the sheer intensity of these storms. The tiny particles can remain suspended and travel through small cracks or gaps in window seals, making it hard to keep them out.

To protect your children from the health effects of sandstorms, there are a few steps you can take:

1. Keep windows closed: Even though it might be tempting to open windows for some fresh air, keeping them shut is crucial during these times.
2. Use air purifiers: In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, air purifiers with HEPA filters can significantly reduce particulate matter in your home's air.
3. Stay indoors: When storms are hitting, try to keep your kids inside where the air quality is better controlled.

If you notice that these steps aren't helping or if symptoms persist, it might be a good idea to have your apartment inspected by a professional to ensure there isn't any hidden damage allowing particles into your living space. Our company, SanIService, offers comprehensive indoor environmental inspections and remediation services here in Dubai. You can call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information.

Remember, taking proactive steps now can help safeguard your family's health during the next sandstorm.
