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 linked to our asthma?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy sandstorms we had last month, I noticed a persistent cough in both my daughter and me. The bedroom window, which faces the desert, has this gritty dust that gets everywhere even with regular cleaning. Could these conditions be related to our asthma symptoms? What steps should we take to improve the air quality in our home?

Are sandstorms linked to our asthma? Yes, absolutely. The heavy sandstorms we've experienced here in Dubai and the UAE can indeed trigger asthma symptoms. These storms bring a high concentration of fine particulate matter (PM10) and PM2.5 which can irritate the respiratory system and exacerbate existing conditions like asthma.

In our region, the desert sands are often laden with dust particles that carry allergens such as pollen, mold spores, and even tiny fragments of plant material and animal dander. These can get into your home through open windows or via air conditioning systems, settling on surfaces and in the air. The gritty dust you mentioned from your bedroom window is likely a result of these storms.

To improve the air quality in your home and mitigate asthma symptoms, there are several steps you could take:

1. Keep Windows Closed: During sandstorms, it's crucial to keep windows and doors tightly closed. This prevents outdoor pollutants from entering your living spaces.

2. Use Air Purifiers: Consider investing in HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters that can remove up to 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, including allergens and irritants commonly found during sandstorms.

3. Regular Cleaning: Despite your regular cleaning efforts, the grit from sandstorms might still persist. Using a damp cloth or a HEPA vacuum cleaner can help reduce dust accumulation.

4. Air Conditioning Maintenance: Ensure that your air conditioning system is regularly maintained to prevent dust and other irritants from circulating in your home. Filters should be changed according to manufacturer recommendations.

5. Consult Professionals: If you're concerned about the air quality in your home or if symptoms persist, it's advisable to have a professional inspection by companies like Saniservice. They can provide tailored solutions based on your specific situation.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for managing asthma and other respiratory conditions. By taking these steps, you can create a healthier environment for both you and your family during and after sandstorms.
