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 these dust particles harmful to our health?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm that hit Dubai last week, I’ve noticed a constant haze of fine particles even when it’s not windy outside. The living room windows are always covered in a layer of grit, and my son has been complaining about his throat every morning since the storm passed. How urgent is this issue, and what steps should we be taking to protect our health?

Are These Dust Particles Harmful To Our Health?

The dust storm that recently hit Dubai has left many of us wondering about the long-term effects and health implications. The fine particles you're noticing can indeed be harmful, especially if they contain pollutants such as silica or other particulate matter.

In the UAE, specifically in Dubai, our environment is often affected by regional dust storms which can lead to a layer of grit on windows and surfaces. These storms are not just a temporary inconvenience but can have serious health implications, particularly for individuals with respiratory issues or allergies. The constant haze you mentioned could be due to residual particles from the storm as well as ongoing local conditions.

The particulate matter (PM) in dust storms can range from PM10 (particles less than 10 microns in diameter) down to PM2.5, which are even smaller and can penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstream. These tiny particles can carry toxic substances that irritate the respiratory system and exacerbate conditions like asthma or bronchitis.

Given your son's symptoms of a sore throat every morning, it's important to address this issue promptly. The dust particles could be triggering an allergic reaction or worsening his condition. I'd recommend having a professional indoor air quality inspection done. We can provide you with a detailed report and recommendations on how to improve the air quality in your home.

In addition to calling us at 800-MOLDS for an inspection, there are some immediate steps you can take:

1. Use air purifiers equipped with HEPA filters that can capture fine particles.
2. Keep windows closed during dust storms and use an air conditioner if possible.
3. Clean surfaces frequently using a damp cloth to avoid stirring up settled dust.
4. Encourage your family to wash their hands more often, especially before meals.
5. Consider wearing masks when going out in very dusty conditions.

By taking these measures, you can reduce the exposure of fine particles and help mitigate any health risks associated with them. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for a healthy living environment, particularly during times like these.

Call us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection today.
