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 fine grit from dust storms damage furniture?« Back to Previous Page

After the severe dust storm that hit Dubai a few days ago, I noticed a thick layer of fine grit settling on everything in my living room. It’s covering the furniture, books, and even the curtains. The storm seemed to have lasted for about 3 hours around midday yesterday, but now there's this persistent dusty smell. Has anyone else experienced similar issues after such storms, and what can I do to clean it up effectively?

Absolutely, the fine grit from dust storms can indeed cause some damage to furniture. In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, where we experience such severe storms, it's important to understand how these particles can impact your belongings.

Firstly, the abrasiveness of the dust can lead to scratches on surfaces like leather or finishings on wood furniture. Over time, this grit could cause wear and tear leading to a less appealing appearance. Moreover, the grit can hold moisture which, when coupled with Dubai's high humidity in some months, might contribute to mold growth and even corrosion if your furniture includes metal parts.

To address the issues you're experiencing, I recommend taking action as soon as possible after a storm passes. Begin by gently vacuuming all surfaces of your furniture using a soft brush attachment. This will help remove most of the dust without causing any damage. For particularly stubborn particles, use a microfiber cloth to wipe down each piece.

In terms of specific care for different materials:
• Leather: Use a leather cleaner and conditioner following the product instructions.
• Wood: Apply a gentle wood polish that can help protect against further damage from grit.
• Metal: Ensure you clean it thoroughly but avoid any harsh chemicals which might corrode or damage the finish.

It's also worth noting that in the UAE, we have local building codes and regulations regarding indoor air quality. While dust storms are an occasional event, maintaining good practices such as regular cleaning can help mitigate their impact on your home environment. If you find persistent issues after thorough cleaning, it might be wise to consult with a professional who specializes in indoor environmental quality for a comprehensive inspection.

If you need any further assistance or have concerns about the state of your home's air quality post-storm, feel free to reach out. You can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more advice and support.

Remember, staying proactive with cleaning and maintenance is key in keeping your home environment healthy and comfortable, especially after such severe weather events.
