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.

Could desert dust cause our kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the sandstorm last week, I’ve noticed a fine layer of dust all over our living room furniture and even on the curtains. The kids have been complaining about coughing fits every night, and it’s really worrying me. We’ve lived in Dubai for two years now, but this seems like more than just normal dust. Could desert dust be causing their symptoms?

Could desert dust cause our kids' coughs? That's a valid concern given the recent sandstorm and the symptoms your kids are experiencing. Desert dust can indeed be problematic for indoor air quality, especially when it gets into your home.

In Dubai, we regularly experience sandstorms that bring in fine particles of silica from the surrounding deserts. These particles can irritate the respiratory system, leading to coughing fits, particularly among children and those with pre-existing conditions like asthma or allergies. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations directly targeting desert dust, but it's important to maintain indoor air quality as much as possible.

The fine layer of dust you noticed on your furniture and curtains is a tell-tale sign that the particles are indeed making their way into your home. To better assess if this dust could be causing your kids' coughs, consider having a professional indoor environmental inspection done. Companies like Saniservice can help identify the sources of indoor pollutants and provide remediation solutions.

In the meantime, there are some steps you can take to reduce exposure:

1. Keep windows closed when sandstorms are forecasted.
2. Use air purifiers with HEPA filters, which can capture small particles.
3. Dust regularly using microfiber cloths that trap dust rather than spreading it around.
4. Consider installing a dehumidifier to prevent mold growth and manage humidity levels.

If the symptoms persist or worsen, it might be wise to consult an allergy specialist for further advice.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial in Dubai's unique climate conditions. If you find yourself overwhelmed with managing these issues, don't hesitate to reach out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for professional guidance and support.
