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 urgent is cleaning after a dust storm for asthma?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm a few days ago, I noticed my son has been having more frequent coughing fits, especially at night. The smell of dust is still lingering in his room, and it’s really concerning me because he was diagnosed with asthma last year. How urgent should I be about cleaning this up to avoid triggering an asthma attack?

Cleaning up after a dust storm is absolutely critical for someone like your son who has asthma. The UAE, including Dubai, experiences such storms frequently due to its location and climate conditions. These storms can kick up large amounts of particulate matter that easily finds its way into indoor environments, exacerbating respiratory issues.

The lingering smell of dust you mentioned in his room is a clear indicator that the environment could be triggering his asthma symptoms, especially at night when airways are more sensitive. In Dubai and across the UAE, there are no specific regulations mandating immediate cleanups after such events; however, it's crucial to act promptly as delaying can worsen conditions for someone with asthma.

Firstly, you should start by thoroughly cleaning your son’s room. Utilize a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner which is capable of capturing microscopic particles that regular vacuums might miss. Dusting surfaces and airing out the space are also essential steps. Ensure to keep windows closed if there's ongoing dust in the air outside.

Additionally, consider having an indoor air quality inspection done by professionals like us at Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more info). This will help identify any hidden issues and provide a comprehensive cleaning plan that can ensure your son’s room remains free from allergens.

Humidifiers are another useful tool in the UAE's dry climate, as they can add moisture to the air which can help soothe irritated airways. Just remember to clean them regularly to prevent mold growth, another common trigger for asthma.

Lastly, keep an eye on weather forecasts and be prepared to act quickly should another dust storm hit. Keeping your son’s room clean and well-maintained will significantly reduce his risk of experiencing asthma attacks triggered by dust and other airborne particles.

Remember, every moment counts in managing asthma symptoms effectively. Act now to create a healthier environment for your son!
