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 storm cause health issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell in my bedroom. The air feels thicker than usual, especially at night when the windows are closed. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits and I'm worried it might be due to all this dust settling inside. Could there be health effects from breathing this kind of air?

Absolutely, the dust storm that we experienced last month could indeed lead to health issues. The thick air that persists after such storms often harbors a mix of particles – from fine dust to microscopic organisms like mold spores and bacteria. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, our climate can exacerbate these conditions.

The musty smell you're experiencing along with your kids' coughing fits are clear signs that something is not right. The higher concentration of airborne particulates after a dust storm can irritate respiratory systems leading to issues like asthma attacks or exacerbating existing health conditions such as bronchitis and sinusitis.

Given the situation, it's highly recommended that you have a professional inspection done. In Dubai, companies specializing in environmental testing and remediation are well-equipped to assess your home’s indoor air quality. They can use specialized equipment to test for mold spores, dust mites, and other allergens which might be circulating in the air.

If you decide to proceed with an inspection, you could contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or send them a message through their email hello@saniservice.com. They can provide a detailed analysis and recommend appropriate remedial actions based on their findings.

In the meantime, there are some steps you can take to mitigate the situation:

1. Use an air purifier with HEPA filters which can effectively remove small particles from your indoor air.
2. Increase ventilation by opening windows during times when outdoor air quality is better.
3. Keep humidity levels low as high moisture can promote mold growth – use a dehumidifier if necessary.
4. Wash bedding and curtains regularly in hot water to reduce allergens.

Remember, prevention is key. Regular maintenance of your home’s HVAC system and keeping surfaces clean can help minimize the risk of airborne irritants.

Stay proactive about your indoor air quality, particularly during periods like these following a dust storm. Your health and that of your family should be a top priority.
