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 trigger asthma in kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I’ve noticed a persistent cough in both of my children. The living room seemed especially affected, with an odd smell that’s been there ever since. Could this be related to asthma? What steps should I take to clean and improve the air quality there?

Yes, dust storms can indeed trigger asthma symptoms in children. In the UAE and Dubai specifically, we frequently experience such weather conditions which can bring a mix of sand, soil particles, and other allergens into our living spaces. These particles can irritate the airways and exacerbate existing asthma conditions or even trigger an attack.

If your kids have been experiencing persistent coughing since the dust storm, it's quite possible that their respiratory system is reacting to these new irritants in the air. The odd smell you've noticed could be from a mix of dust particles settling on surfaces along with potential mold growth if humidity levels are high enough. This situation highlights the importance of maintaining good indoor air quality.

Here’s what you can do:

1. Ventilation Check: Ensure that your home's ventilation systems are functioning properly. In Dubai, it is important to monitor and adjust your HVAC settings to filter out larger particles but not over-filter as this might dry out the air which could further irritate their lungs.
2. Dust Removal: Use a damp cloth or a microfiber duster to clean surfaces instead of sweeping or vacuuming, as these can stir up dust into the air. Regularly cleaning carpets and curtains also helps in reducing allergens.
3. Humidity Control: Keep humidity levels between 40-50% using dehumidifiers if necessary. High humidity can encourage mold growth which could worsen asthma symptoms.
4. Air Purification: Consider installing an air purifier that is capable of capturing fine particles (HEPA filters). This can significantly improve indoor air quality and reduce the risk of allergens triggering asthma attacks.

If you find it challenging to address these issues or if your children's symptoms persist, I would recommend a professional inspection. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive environmental inspections tailored for the UAE market which can help identify any hidden mold, dust, or other contaminants that might be contributing to their discomfort.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, especially with the changing weather conditions in Dubai. If you need assistance or further advice, feel free to call us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for expert guidance.

Take care and keep your home a healthy space!
