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 persistent haze from dust storm harm my kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a persistent haze in the air, especially when I turn on the AC. The smell is slightly unpleasant and my kids have been complaining of coughing fits lately, even though they don’t have allergies usually. Can someone with experience advise if this could be handled by myself or do I need to call in professionals?

Yes, persistent haze from dust storms can indeed harm your kids. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, heavy dust storms are common during certain months of the year and can carry a variety of pollutants including fine particulates that may irritate respiratory systems.

The smell you notice could be due to a mix of dust and other particles that get trapped by your air conditioning system. This might not only affect indoor air quality but also contribute to discomfort for those in the home, especially children whose immune systems are still developing. Persistent coughing fits observed in your kids can likely be linked to this issue.

Firstly, it's important to ensure your air conditioning units and filters are thoroughly cleaned. In Dubai, we often recommend checking and replacing AC filters every 30 days or after each dust storm, especially if you notice an increase in allergens or pollutants. This simple step can significantly reduce the amount of particulate matter circulating in your home.

Additionally, using an Air Purifier with a HEPA filter might be beneficial to capture even smaller particles that can pass through standard AC filters. These devices are particularly effective at removing dust and other irritants from the air, which could provide relief for your kids.

However, if you've tried these steps and still experience ongoing issues or if symptoms persist despite cleaning efforts, it’s best to call in professionals. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer comprehensive indoor environmental inspections that can identify any hidden sources of pollutants and recommend targeted remediation measures.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key to protecting your family's health during and after dust storms. If you're concerned or need further assistance, feel free to contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a free consultation.
