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 do I clean after a sandstorm without making it worse?« Back to Previous Page

After the sandstorm we experienced a few days ago, I’ve noticed a persistent fine layer of grit collecting on every surface in my living room. It’s especially noticeable on the glass coffee table and even the remote controls. We live in a 5th-floor apartment near the airport, so it must be from the storms that hit during the night. Has anyone else here dealt with this issue? How do you clean up after sandstorms without making things worse?

Cleaning up after a sandstorm can indeed be quite a task, especially given the fine particulates that find their way into your living space. Here are some steps to tackle this issue effectively and efficiently:

Firstly, ensure you have all necessary tools at hand such as vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters (which are great for capturing tiny particles), microfiber cloths, and some gentle cleaning solutions like mild dish soap or isopropyl alcohol. Given the specific regulations in the UAE, it's important to use products that meet local standards for air quality, but generally, these household items should suffice.

Start by opening windows briefly to allow fresh air into your home if conditions permit. This can help reduce some of the particulates indoors, making your cleaning efforts a bit easier. Once inside, it’s wise to remove all soft furnishings like cushions and curtains to wash them separately in case they have collected dust or sand.

For surfaces, begin with a gentle vacuum sweep using the brush attachment on your cleaner. Pay extra attention to corners and edges where particles can easily settle. After vacuuming, dampen microfiber cloths slightly (just a few drops of water should do) and wipe down surfaces such as glass tables and remote controls. The key here is not to use too much moisture, which could leave streaks or even trap sand if it dries.

In areas with particularly stubborn grit, you might want to mix a small amount of mild dish soap into your cleaning solution before applying it lightly and wiping dry immediately after to avoid leaving any residue.

It's also advisable to check for any signs of structural damage in walls or windows that may have been caused by the storm. If you notice anything unusual, consider having an inspection done - especially if the issue persists or seems severe. In the UAE, companies like Saniservice can provide professional assessments and remediation services should you need them.

Remember to keep your home well-ventilated during this period to help reduce indoor air pollution from sand particles. Lastly, don't forget to clean your HVAC system filters as they are likely to have accumulated a lot of dust too. This step is crucial for maintaining good indoor air quality moving forward.

Stay proactive and keep the area free of dust and grit by regularly checking windows and doors for any leaks or gaps that could let in more sand during the next storm. And, if you're ever unsure about your home's condition following a severe weather event, it’s always better to consult with professionals who can give you peace of mind.
