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 kids' coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the dust storm that hit Dubai last week, I’ve noticed a persistent haze even when it's not particularly windy. The living room windows are always slightly open, and now my kids have been complaining of coughing fits every evening. Is this normal? Could the dust be causing their symptoms?

Certainly! The situation sounds quite concerning. Dust storms can indeed cause respiratory issues, especially for children who have more sensitive airways. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, dust storms are a common occurrence, and their aftermath can persist even when there's no active storm due to residual particulate matter.

The persistent haze you've noticed, coupled with your kids' coughing fits, could very well be linked to this phenomenon. Dust particles can carry pollutants like pollen, mold spores, and other allergens that irritate the respiratory system. These tiny particles can easily enter your home through slightly open windows, especially during a dust storm or its aftermath.

Given the symptoms and the environmental conditions in Dubai, it would be prudent to have your indoor air quality professionally inspected. This will help identify any specific triggers for your children's coughing and ensure that necessary steps are taken to address them. Our company offers comprehensive indoor air quality assessments which can pinpoint these issues accurately.

To mitigate the effects of dust storms on your family’s health, consider using a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter in your home. These filters can capture particles as small as 0.3 microns, effectively reducing allergens and irritants that may be causing their symptoms. Additionally, keeping windows and doors closed during dusty conditions can help prevent these tiny particles from entering.

If the issue persists or worsens despite these precautions, please do not hesitate to reach out for a professional inspection. Our team at Saniservice is here to assist you with any concerns about indoor environmental quality in Dubai. You can call us on 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information and support.

Stay safe and take care of your family's health!
