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 handle haze and AC issues on my own?« Back to Previous Page

After the dust storm that hit Dubai a few days ago, I’ve noticed an unusual haze settling in my living room, even with the windows tightly shut. The AC seems to struggle more than usual to keep up, and it’s making breathing a bit harder for everyone in the house. Do you think I can manage this on my own or should I call in a professional?

Hi there,

First off, it's good that you're looking into this matter. Dust storms can indeed bring in a lot of particulate matter and make your indoor environment less than ideal. In the UAE, especially during dust storm seasons, we often see an increase in air pollutants due to these events.

In general, managing dust storms and their aftermath on your own is possible but might require some effort depending on the severity. You've already noticed that the AC seems to struggle more which indicates a higher concentration of particulate matter. This can indeed affect breathing as well, especially for those with respiratory issues or young children.

To start off, here are few things you can do:

1. Use HEPA filters in your air conditioning system if possible. These can help capture fine particles and improve indoor air quality.
2. Keep windows tightly shut and use an air purifier to filter the air inside your home. Make sure it's a model with high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters for best results.
3. Use wet mops or cloths to clean floors and surfaces as dry sweeping can actually spread dust around.

However, if you find that these measures don't significantly improve conditions, it might be time to consider professional assistance. In the UAE, we have specific regulations regarding indoor air quality which a professional can help assess and address. They will also ensure that your HVAC system is functioning optimally during such times.

If things get too uncomfortable or if anyone in your household experiences worsening symptoms, don't hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection and remediation service.

Remember, while you can manage the immediate effects of dust storms on your own, ensuring that your indoor environment remains clean and healthy is crucial. Stay safe!

Best regards,
[Your Name]
