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.

Can dust storms cause indoor coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, my kids and I have been experiencing persistent coughing, especially in the evenings when we stay indoors. The windows in our second-floor apartment are tightly shut, but the air still feels thick and seems to irritate their lungs. Have anyone else experienced similar symptoms or know if dust storms can cause such issues?

Absolutely, dust storms can indeed cause indoor coughing, especially during times of high particulate matter in the air. In the UAE, particularly during our frequent sand and dust events, the fine particles that are stirred up from the ground can easily find their way into your home, even when windows are tightly shut.

In Dubai and the surrounding regions, these storms can carry a mix of sand, silt, and other pollutants which might be allergens or irritants. The tiny particulates can penetrate deep into the respiratory system, leading to irritation and coughing, especially in children who have more sensitive airways.

Have you checked your indoor air quality recently? It's not uncommon for these particles to accumulate inside homes during dust storms, even with windows shut tight. Regular testing of the air quality could help identify any particulate matter that might be causing those annoying evening coughs.

It’s also worth noting that UAE regulations mandate certain standards for workplace and residential environments regarding indoor air quality but do not specifically address dust storms in such detail. However, it's important to monitor your environment closely during these events.

If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be wise to call us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection and advice tailored to your specific living conditions. We can help determine if there are any hidden issues or sources of irritation within your home that might need attention.

Remember, keeping air filters in your HVAC system clean during dust storms is crucial as they play a significant role in trapping these particles before they circulate throughout the house. Also, using HEPA air purifiers can be beneficial for capturing smaller particulates that regular filters may miss.

Taking proactive steps like these could help reduce your family’s exposure to irritants and alleviate those pesky evening coughs.
