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 sandstorms cause indoor odors and health issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense sandstorms we had last week, I noticed a strange odor lingering in our living room. It's not exactly dusty or moldy, but more like a faint, earthy scent that lingers even after airing out the space for hours. My kids have been complaining of coughing and sneezing, especially since the windows were left open to let some fresh air in. Could this be related to the sand or is there something else I should look into?

Indoor odors and health issues can indeed be linked to sandstorms, especially here in the UAE. The intense sandstorms we experienced last week could very well have left behind a layer of fine particulates that may have mingled with indoor air or settled on surfaces. These particles can include dust, pollen, and even microscopic organisms that might contribute to the earthy scent you're noticing.

The odour you describe isn't uncommon after such storms; it often stems from the mix of sand and any naturally occurring organic matter that was carried by the wind. However, for your family's health, it’s wise to ensure there's no underlying issue. The coughing and sneezing your kids are experiencing could be due to irritation caused by these particles or possibly an allergic reaction.

Given the UAE's strict regulations on indoor air quality (refer to the Federal Law No. 18 of 2006 concerning environmental protection), it would be prudent to have a professional inspection if the odor persists or if you notice any worsening health symptoms in yourself and your family members.

For reliable assistance, consider contacting Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or sending them an email at hello@saniservice.com. They can provide a thorough evaluation of the indoor air quality and suggest appropriate remediation steps if necessary.

In the meantime, continue to keep your home well ventilated but ensure you use HEPA filters in air purifiers to catch any lingering particles. Regular cleaning with microfiber cloths or vacuuming using HEPA filters will also help remove any settled dust or particulates from surfaces.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for everyone’s health, especially during such weather conditions.
