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 protect my family from dust storms?« Back to Previous Page

For the past few days, I’ve been feeling really off since the dust storms hit, especially in my apartment in Jumeirah. Every time I step outside, my throat feels scratchy, and I've had a persistent cough that just won’t go away. Even my kids are sneezing more than usual, and they’re complaining about itchy eyes. I’ve been keeping the windows closed and using the air purifier, but I’m still worried about the health effects. Is there anything else I should be doing to protect my family during these dust storms?

Dust storms are a common and challenging environmental issue in the UAE, particularly during the summer and transitional months. The fine particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) carried by these storms can significantly affect indoor air quality and lead to various health issues, especially for vulnerable populations like children, the elderly, and individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions.

To protect your family during dust storms, here are some effective strategies:

1. Seal Your Home: Ensure all windows and doors are tightly sealed to prevent dust from entering. Check weather stripping and caulking around windows and doors, replacing any damaged sections.

2. Use Air Purifiers: Continue using your air purifier, but ensure it has a HEPA filter, which can capture small particles effectively. Consider running it continuously during dust storms, and regularly replace the filter as recommended by the manufacturer.

3. Avoid Outdoor Activities: During dust storms, limit outdoor activities for your family. If you must go outside, wear a mask that can filter out dust particles.

4. Create a Clean Room: Designate one room in your home as a "clean room" where you can retreat during a dust storm. This should be a space with minimal exposure to outside air, equipped with an air purifier.

5. Monitor Air Quality: Keep an eye on local air quality indices. The UAE government regularly updates air quality data on various platforms. If the air quality is poor, take extra precautions to stay indoors.

6. Hydrate and Humidify: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, and consider using a humidifier to maintain moisture in the air, which can help alleviate throat irritation.

7. Regular Cleaning: Dust can accumulate quickly during a storm. Regularly clean your home to reduce irritants. Use a damp cloth to wipe surfaces, which helps trap dust rather than just moving it around.

8. Professional Inspection: If your or your children's symptoms persist or worsen, it may be wise to consult with a healthcare professional. Additionally, you might consider a professional indoor air quality inspection to assess your living environment. Our team can help identify particulate matter levels and recommend appropriate remediation actions. Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or email hello@saniservice.com for further assistance.

By following these steps, you can help create a safer and healthier indoor environment for your family during the dust storm season in Dubai. Your health and well-being are paramount, and taking proactive measures can significantly mitigate the effects of these environmental challenges.
