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.

Is construction dust causing our coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent construction next door, my kids and I have been experiencing persistent coughs and nasal congestion. The dust seems to be coming through our open windows, especially during windy days. We’ve lived in this apartment complex for two years, but never had these issues before. Has anyone else experienced similar problems, or could it be the construction causing these symptoms?

Construction dust sure can be a pesky issue, especially in areas like Dubai where big projects seem to happen all the time. It's really not uncommon for people living nearby to experience coughs and other respiratory issues during such times. The regulations here are pretty strict about controlling dust, but sometimes it slips through.

In the UAE, there is the Federal Decree-Law No. 16 of 2019 on Building Construction, which sets out guidelines for construction sites, including measures to control dust and ensure public health isn't compromised. However, even with these laws, if a site hasn’t been properly managed or if winds are particularly strong, dust can find its way into nearby residential areas.

Given your situation, it's quite possible that the construction next door could be causing those coughs. The dust you're seeing through open windows is a clear sign that something isn't being controlled as well as it should be. This type of issue has been reported before by other residents in similar circumstances.

If this continues or worsens, I'd strongly advise getting a professional inspection done. At Saniservice, we offer such services and can help you identify if the dust is indeed the culprit and to what extent. Our team will come over to check your home for any signs of elevated pollutants and ensure that your indoor air quality meets acceptable standards.

In the meantime, there are some things you can do to mitigate the effects:
1. Keep windows closed during windy days or when construction activity is high.
2. Use air purifiers with HEPA filters in your rooms.
3. Consider wet mopping or using a damp cloth to clean surfaces inside your home.
4. If possible, use a dehumidifier to reduce moisture which dust can thrive on.

Remember, your health and comfort are paramount. Should you need any assistance or want to schedule an inspection, feel free to give us a call at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. We're here to help!
