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 specific air filters effective against dust storms?« Back to Previous Page

After the dust storm that rolled through Dubai last week, I’ve noticed a significant increase in sneezes and coughs from my family, especially when we’re inside our third-floor apartment without the windows closed. The air feels gritty even with the AC on, and I can see a fine layer of dust on everything after we clean. Are there any specific measures or filters I should use to keep the air quality better for everyone’s health?

Yes, specific air filters can be quite effective against the dust storms we experience here in the UAE. The recent storm certainly brought an awful lot of grit and particulates into our homes, making indoor air quality a real concern.

Firstly, it’s important to know that in Dubai and the rest of the UAE, there are no strict regulations specifically for air filtration during dust storms. However, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for everyone's health, especially during these times.

To combat the issue, you should consider investing in high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters or ultra-low penetration aerosol (ULPA) filters. HEPA filters are designed to capture 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, which includes dust, pollen, mold spores, and other allergens that can irritate your family's respiratory system.

For the best results, it’s recommended you install these in key areas like living rooms, bedrooms, or even kitchen spaces where people spend a lot of time. Some advanced models have pre-filters to trap larger particles first before hitting the HEPA filter, extending its lifespan and efficiency.

Additionally, using an air purifier with activated carbon filters can help remove odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that may be present in the dust. This combination will provide you with cleaner, fresher indoor air during the stormy season.

Do keep your windows closed tightly to prevent outside particles from entering your home. When cleaning after a dust storm, use a damp cloth or microfiber duster to avoid spreading dust around. And don’t forget to change or clean your air filters regularly – it’s recommended at least once every month depending on the usage and conditions.

It's also a good idea to call in a professional for an environmental inspection if you notice persistent issues with indoor air quality after a storm. They can provide expert advice and solutions tailored to your specific living space, ensuring peace of mind during such times.

Remember, maintaining proper indoor air quality is not just about dust storms. It’s part of creating a healthy environment year-round. So, keep these tips in mind and take action for your family's well-being. For more information or assistance, feel free to contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.
