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 grit in the air harm my family?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I’ve noticed a persistent gritty feeling in the air when I’m in my living room. It’s hard to breathe sometimes, especially with the windows closed during these windy spells. My family has been complaining of itchy eyes and sore throats too. Do you think this is something that can be managed on my own or should I consider hiring an air quality specialist?

The grittiness and persistent dust in the air you're experiencing sounds quite uncomfortable for your family. It's understandable to be concerned about what it might mean for everyone’s health, particularly during those heavy dust storms we've been having recently.

In the UAE and specifically in Dubai, environmental conditions can sometimes lead to significant particulate matter being present in the atmosphere. This includes fine particles from sand, dust, and other pollutants which could indeed cause respiratory issues like coughing or wheezing, along with eye irritation and sore throats as you've noticed.

While it's good that everyone is aware of these symptoms, considering that some dust storms can carry tiny particles that might be harmful, it’s advisable to have an air quality assessment done by a professional. This would not only confirm the presence of hazardous particulates but also provide recommendations on how to manage them effectively.

In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, there are specific regulations regarding indoor air quality, though these may focus more on industrial emissions than household dust. Nonetheless, ensuring that your home’s ventilation system is functioning optimally can help reduce dust accumulation indoors during stormy periods.

For immediate relief, consider using a HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter in your home. These filters are designed to capture tiny particles and allergens, which might offer some comfort for you and your family until the situation improves outdoors. Additionally, keeping windows closed during dust storms can prevent further influx of irritants.

If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s best to contact a professional air quality specialist who can conduct a thorough inspection and provide tailored advice. We recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for assistance. They will be able to assess the situation in your home more accurately and advise on any necessary steps.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, especially during such weather events. Taking proactive measures can significantly reduce discomfort and potential health risks for you and your family.
