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 dry dust storms affect indoor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I’ve noticed a persistent cough and congestion in the mornings, especially when I wake up. The air feels dry and seems to be full of tiny particles that settle on everything in my bedroom. Should I be concerned about indoor air quality here in Dubai, or could this just be seasonal allergies?

Dry dust storms can indeed impact indoor air quality, particularly in regions like the UAE where such events are common. After those intense storms last month, it's quite plausible that you're experiencing symptoms related to poor IAQ (Indoor Air Quality). The dust particles and other debris kicked up during these storms can remain suspended or settle on surfaces, leading to an increase in indoor particulate matter.

In Dubai, regulations such as the Building Control Regulations Part 2: Ventilation and Exhaust Systems (UAE Standard EN15231) aim to maintain acceptable levels of air quality. However, these standards are more focused on regular operation rather than dealing with sporadic events like dust storms.

For your specific case, it's wise to assess if the symptoms you're experiencing could be linked to the storm or simply seasonal allergies. Dust and other particles can irritate the respiratory system leading to coughs and congestion. It’s not uncommon for people in Dubai to suffer from these symptoms during or after such weather events.

To address your concerns, I recommend taking a few steps:
1. Clean thoroughly: Use a damp cloth or mop to remove settled dust on surfaces.
2. Increase humidity: Using a humidifier can help soothe irritated airways and reduce dryness.
3. Filter the air: Consider using an air purifier with HEPA filters which can capture tiny particles that might be causing your symptoms.

If your symptoms persist despite these measures, it would be prudent to have a professional conduct an indoor environmental inspection. This will not only help identify any ongoing issues but also provide recommendations for long-term solutions. Our company, Saniservice, is here to assist with such inspections and can be reached at 800-MOLDS or via email hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, maintaining good IAQ in your home during the dust storm season (and beyond) is crucial for everyone’s health, especially those who may have respiratory issues.
