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 throat irritation?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy sandstorm we had last week, I noticed a strange dust settling on all surfaces of my living room. It’s not like the usual indoor dust; it feels coarser and seems to be everywhere—on the curtains, furniture, even my coffee table books. The kids have been complaining about their throats hurting as well. Could this be desert dust causing these issues?

Could Desert Dust Cause Our Throat Irritation?

It's quite possible that the throat irritation your kids are experiencing could be linked to the recent desert dust storm. In the UAE and especially in Dubai, such storms can bring large quantities of coarse particles into the air which settle on surfaces. The symptoms you're describing, like a sore throat, are common when inhaling these fine particulates.

Desert dust contains various minerals, salts, and even microorganisms that might irritate your respiratory system, particularly if your kids have sensitive airways or any pre-existing conditions. In Dubai, the frequent sandstorms can cause an increase in allergens and pollutants which may exacerbate symptoms like coughing, wheezing, or throat discomfort.

The fact that the dust feels coarser than usual is a good sign of desert dust. It's heavier and clings more easily to surfaces compared to typical indoor dust. This explains why you're noticing it on curtains, furniture, and books as well.

For immediate relief, ensure everyone in your household stays hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Use a humidifier to add moisture back into the air, which can help soothe irritated throats. Keep windows closed during storms to prevent more dust from entering your home.

However, given that you've observed such widespread and unusual dust deposition, I strongly recommend having an expert assessment done. This is particularly important as prolonged exposure might lead to more serious respiratory issues or even trigger allergies in some individuals.

For professional inspection and remediation services, consider reaching out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email them at hello@saniservice.com. They can provide a thorough evaluation of your home's indoor air quality and recommend appropriate measures to ensure the health and comfort of your family.

Remember, while this advice is based on general knowledge about desert dust in Dubai, every situation may vary slightly. An expert assessment will help pinpoint any unique concerns specific to your living space.

Stay safe and healthy!
