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 my daughter's asthma symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I've noticed a persistent musty smell in the bedroom. My daughter has been complaining of a tight chest and her nose is constantly running since we got home from the hospital visit where they mentioned she might have asthma. Could this be related to the dust or could there be something else in our apartment causing these symptoms?

Dust storms can indeed trigger asthma symptoms and exacerbate existing conditions. The dust, sand, and other particulates carried by the storm can enter your home through open windows and doors, causing irritation to the respiratory system. In Dubai, it's quite common for dust particles from these storms to carry allergens like mold spores, pollen, or even microscopic pathogens that could contribute to respiratory issues.

In your case, the persistent musty smell in the bedroom along with your daughter’s symptoms—tight chest and runny nose—could be linked to this recent storm. Mold growth can thrive after a dust storm due to increased moisture levels, especially if there was any water infiltration or leaks. This could explain the musty odor you're noticing.

Given these concerns, it would be prudent to have your apartment inspected by professionals who specialize in indoor environmental quality and building sciences. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice are well-versed in identifying mold and other allergens that can trigger asthma attacks. They can conduct a thorough assessment of the air quality, check for moisture issues, and provide remediation solutions if necessary.

If you suspect your home might be affected by dust or mold, don’t delay. Call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection. Early intervention can prevent the symptoms from worsening and ensure a healthier living environment for everyone in the household.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, especially during periods of high dust activity like dust storms. Regularly check for signs of moisture and consider using air purifiers with HEPA filters to help manage allergens. Keeping windows closed and using dehumidifiers can also aid in controlling the environment within your home.

In summary, while the dust storm could be a contributing factor to your daughter's asthma symptoms, it’s important to rule out other potential causes as well. A professional inspection will provide you with peace of mind and actionable steps to improve your indoor air quality.
