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 sealed windows still let in construction dust?« Back to Previous Page

After the construction next door finally wrapped up a few months ago, I’ve started noticing a persistent cloud of dust settling in my bedroom every morning. The windows are usually closed due to air conditioning issues, but there’s still this fine layer that collects on everything—books, furniture, even my kids' toys. It's really concerning, especially with their constant coughing and sneezing now. Has anyone else experienced similar issues or have any suggestions for dealing with construction dust in a sealed home?

Can Sealed Windows Still Let In Construction Dust?

I've been dealing with this pesky dust situation myself ever since the construction next door finished up a few months ago. My bedroom windows are usually shut tight due to air conditioning issues, yet there's still a fine layer of dust settling everywhere – on books, furniture, even my kids' toys. It's gotten so bad that they've started coughing and sneezing more often. I’m sure it’s not good for their health.

In the UAE, especially in places like Dubai, construction activities can kick up a lot of dust, which can infiltrate your home through various means – even sealed windows aren't always a perfect seal. This is because construction sites generate fine particulate matter and other airborne particles that can travel quite far. The wind, air currents, and even the occasional unexpected breeze can cause these particles to enter your home.

To address this issue, it's essential to understand some local regulations. In Dubai, the Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi (EAD) has strict guidelines for construction sites, including measures to control dust emissions. However, if you're experiencing persistent issues like mine, it might be worth having a professional environmental inspection conducted. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive indoor air quality assessments that can help identify the sources of dust and provide tailored solutions.

In the meantime, here are some practical steps you can take:

1. Use HEPA filters: High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters in your HVAC system or portable air purifiers can significantly reduce airborne particles.
2. Dust regularly but gently: Use microfiber cloths to wipe surfaces instead of sweeping which can stir up dust.
3. Keep windows slightly open when possible: This might seem counterintuitive, but a small gap can allow fresher air into the home while minimizing dust entry.
4. Clean toys and books frequently: For items that can't be washed, use a damp cloth to wipe them down.

If you find this issue unbearable or if your family members are showing signs of health issues related to dust, it's crucial to contact us at 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection and remediation. We're here to help ensure you and your family breathe clean air.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key to a healthy living environment, especially in the UAE where we often rely on air conditioning.
