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.

After the recent dust storm that hit Dubai, I've noticed a lot of sand settling on the furniture in my living room. The AC filters are also caked with dirt, which has me worried about the indoor air quality, especially since my kids have been coughing more than usual.

Improving indoor air quality after a dust storm can be quite challenging but certainly manageable. In the UAE, particularly in areas like Dubai, we frequently experience such storms which can introduce a significant amount of particulate matter into our homes and workspaces. Here are some steps you could take to address this situation:

Firstly, it's important to clean your home thoroughly. Start by removing as much dust as possible using vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters; these are effective in capturing fine particles like those from dust storms. Be sure to clean surfaces such as furniture, carpets, and curtains where sand can settle. For hard floors, damp mopping might be necessary to ensure all particles are removed.

Regarding your AC filters, it's crucial that you replace or thoroughly clean them if they're caked with dirt. This will help improve the air quality within your home. In Dubai, we recommend checking these every 1-2 months during peak seasons of dust storms for better performance.

Given that your kids have been coughing more, I would suggest having an indoor air quality inspection done by a professional service to ensure there are no harmful pollutants. The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor air quality in buildings and homes, so it's important to comply with these guidelines. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on what services they offer.

In addition to cleaning, consider using air purifiers that can help filter out the particulate matter from the air. These devices are particularly useful during and after dust storms as they can significantly reduce indoor pollution levels. Opt for models with high CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) ratings to ensure effective performance.

Lastly, keep windows closed tightly until the storm has passed to prevent further entry of sand and dust into your home. This might seem counterintuitive when it's hot outside but is essential in maintaining better air quality.

By taking these steps, you can help mitigate the effects of a dust storm on your indoor environment and improve air quality for you and your family. Remember, professional help may be necessary in more severe cases to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations.
