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.

How can I clean my home post-dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the dust storm that hit Dubai last week, I've noticed a thick layer of sand collecting on all the furniture in my living room. The AC filters are also caked with dirt despite running only a few times since the storm. My kids have been coughing and sneezing non-stop lately, which is concerning given our asthma history. How can I effectively clean and maintain my home to prevent dust storms from causing such issues?

Cleaning your home post-dust storm can be a daunting task but with the right approach and tools, you can effectively tackle the situation. Given the UAE's climate and recent dust storms, it is crucial to take these steps to maintain good indoor air quality and ensure your family's health.

Firstly, open all windows and doors for a short period if possible to allow fresh air in, but be cautious of any incoming storm. For now, focus on cleaning. Start by removing the obvious dirt from surfaces such as tables, chairs, sofas, and other furniture using a damp cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment. Be sure to clean behind curtains and blinds too.

For carpets and rugs, deep cleaning might be necessary. Consider hiring a professional service for this task due to the UAE's specific regulations on indoor air quality after dust storms. In Dubai, it is advisable to follow local health and safety standards which may require certain cleaning solutions or methods. A call to 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com could be beneficial here.

Next, tackle your AC filters. Given they are caked with dirt even though the AC has only run a few times since the storm, it's best to replace them immediately to ensure clean air circulation in your home. These filters can trap dust and other allergens effectively but need regular maintenance. A fresh filter will not only improve the air quality but also increase your AC’s efficiency.

Ventilation is key during this period. Keep windows closed at night or when storms are likely, but open them briefly to allow natural ventilation during sunny days. This helps in reducing indoor humidity and dust accumulation.

Finally, address the kids’ coughing and sneezing symptoms by maintaining a clean environment. Use HEPA filters in your air purifiers if you have one; they can capture fine particles that might trigger asthma or allergies. Consider using dehumidifiers to control moisture levels, especially in rooms where your children spend most of their time.

Remember, after cleaning, it’s important to keep the environment dust-free by maintaining regular cleaning routines and checking for any leaks or sources of moisture which could lead to future issues.

By following these steps, you can help ensure that your home remains a safe haven from the effects of dust storms.
