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 dust cause my cough and itchy eyes?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent sandstorms, I’ve noticed a persistent dry cough and itchy eyes whenever I spend time in my bedroom. The windows were closed all day to keep out the dust, but it doesn’t seem to help much. Have you experienced similar issues after sandstorms? Could there be something airborne that’s causing these symptoms?

Absolutely, dust can definitely cause those symptoms. In the UAE, especially during sandstorms, high levels of particulate matter and allergens can remain indoors even if windows are closed. The tiny particles from the storm can settle on surfaces and become airborne again when you move around.

In dubai, we've seen a rise in similar complaints after the sandstorms. It's not uncommon for people to experience coughing and itchy eyes due to these fine particulates. They can irritate your respiratory system and cause discomfort.

When it comes to indoor air quality in Dubai, there are some specific regulations you might want to consider, but more importantly, practical steps can be taken at home. Firstly, consider using a high-efficiency particulate arrestance (HEPA) filter for your HVAC system or portable units. These filters can capture up to 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust mite droppings, pollen, and mold spores.

Another tip is to keep the humidity levels in check. High humidity can encourage mold growth which could be an additional irritant. In dubai, you might find that maintaining a relative humidity level of around 45-50% helps prevent this issue. Use dehumidifiers if needed but ensure they are regularly maintained.

Regular cleaning is also key. Dust and debris can accumulate quickly in areas like corners, behind furniture, and on ceiling fans. Using microfiber cloths or damp cloths to dust can help capture more particles than dry cloths do. Vacuuming with a HEPA filter-equipped vacuum cleaner will also significantly reduce the amount of dust and other irritants.

If your symptoms persist despite these efforts, it might be wise to consider a professional inspection. Here in Dubai, companies like SANIService (you can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more info) offer comprehensive indoor air quality assessments that can help identify any underlying issues and provide tailored solutions.

Remember, keeping your home as clean and well-ventilated as possible during and after sandstorms will go a long way in reducing these uncomfortable symptoms.
