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 I clean indoor haze myself?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I’ve noticed a persistent haze inside my apartment, especially in the living room where the windows are still partially blocked. My kids have been complaining of itchy eyes and runny noses every time they come home from school, which is concerning because we just moved here two years ago and haven’t experienced this before. Do you think I can handle cleaning up the indoor air myself, or should I consider hiring a professional?

Indoor haze can be quite distressing especially after a dust storm. For the UAE, particularly Dubai, it's vital to maintain high indoor air quality due to our climate and frequent sandstorms.

Firstly, you can try cleaning up the haze yourself by using a damp cloth or a slightly wet sponge to wipe down surfaces like windowsills, tables, and shelves where dust might be settling. Opening doors and windows for short intervals (when outdoor air is relatively clean) can also help. However, if your kids are experiencing symptoms such as itchy eyes and runny noses, this may indicate that the situation is more serious than just a simple cleaning task.

In Dubai, there’s no specific regulation mandating indoor air quality standards in private homes after sandstorms, but the UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) does set guidelines for public buildings to ensure clean air. While your apartment might not be regulated under these guidelines, ensuring good air quality can greatly enhance your family's comfort and health.

Considering the symptoms reported by your children, I would recommend seeking a professional inspection. Professionals like those at Saniservice can provide a thorough assessment of your indoor environment and suggest effective solutions to improve air quality. They have experience in dealing with post-storm conditions and can give you peace of mind knowing that your family’s health is being taken care of.

Remember, maintaining good air quality isn't just about cleaning after a storm; it's also about regular maintenance. Using air purifiers specifically designed for dusty environments might be beneficial. Additionally, check if any HVAC filters need to be replaced and ensure they are cleaned regularly as per the manufacturer’s instructions.

If you decide to go ahead with professional help, feel free to contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com for a consultation. They can provide tailored advice on how best to manage your specific situation and keep your indoor air clean and healthy.

Cleaning the haze yourself is a good first step but given the symptoms, it might be wise to seek expert advice to ensure all bases are covered.
