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 desert dust causing my home's coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a fine layer of dust settling on everything in my bedroom. It's especially bad near the windows, even though I keep the curtains closed. The coughing in the house has been more frequent since then. Could this be desert dust? What can we do to reduce it inside our home?

Desert dust can indeed be the culprit behind that persistent coughing and the fine layer of dust you're noticing. After rainfall events, it's common for desert dust to settle on surfaces, especially near windows where air movement may be higher.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, the climate is such that dust from the surrounding desert regions can easily infiltrate homes through openings or gaps. This phenomenon has been observed by many homeowners and professionals alike. The fine particles of this dust can irritate respiratory passages leading to coughing spells, especially if you have allergies or asthma.

Given your symptoms and observations, it's advisable to conduct a thorough inspection with professional help. The UAE doesn't have specific laws on desert dust, but maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for residents' health. A professional environmental inspection can help identify the source of the dust and suggest effective mitigation strategies tailored to your home.

To reduce the impact of desert dust inside your home:

1. Seal Gaps: Ensure that gaps around windows, doors, and other openings are sealed with weather-stripping or caulking.
2. Use Air Filters: Install high-quality air filters in your HVAC system. HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Arresting) filters can capture fine particles including dust and allergens.
3. Regular Cleaning: Dust and vacuum regularly, especially the areas near windows where you've noticed a higher concentration of dust. Use microfiber cloths which are better at trapping dust than conventional materials.
4. Consider Humidifiers: Running a humidifier in your home can help prevent dry air from drying out mucus membranes, reducing irritation.

If symptoms persist or worsen, it might be beneficial to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for an expert assessment and remediation. Email hello@saniservice.com if you need more detailed advice on managing indoor air quality issues.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality not only addresses health concerns but also improves the overall comfort of your living space.
