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 harming my family?« Back to Previous Page

After the sandstorm last week, I noticed a fine dust settling on everything in my bedroom window sill. The AC vents also seem to be blowing out more of this dusty air than usual. My kids have been complaining about scratchy throats and coughing too. Could this desert dust be causing these issues?

Yes, desert dust can indeed be causing your family's discomfort. The fine particles of sand and other debris that blow through the air during a sandstorm like the one you experienced last week are known to contain harmful substances such as silica, pollen, and even some pollutants from urban areas or construction sites. These particles when inhaled can irritate your respiratory system leading to coughing, scratchy throats, and other breathing issues.

In dubai and uae, due to our unique climatic conditions with frequent sandstorms, it's not uncommon for these storms to carry a significant amount of dust that gets into homes and buildings. The situation you're describing sounds very much like what can happen when this kind of dust is present in your home.

To better understand the situation, i would recommend having an expert inspection done by a company specializing in indoor environmental quality assessments. They will be able to quantify the levels of dust and any contaminants it may contain that could impact health. Here at saniservice, we offer professional air quality testing services which can provide you with detailed reports on the quality of air inside your home.

Until then, there are some steps you can take to minimize exposure for yourself and your family:
• Use a high-efficiency particulate air (hepa) filter in your air conditioning system or consider portable units if possible.
• Keep windows closed as much as practical during sandstorms.
• Encourage everyone to use saline sprays for their noses and mouths, especially after being outdoors.
• Wash bedding, curtains, and other fabrics regularly with a mild detergent that can help remove dust.

Remember, if symptoms persist despite these measures or if they worsen, it's important to consult with a medical professional. Keeping your indoor environment as clean as possible during sandstorms is crucial for the health of you and your family. If you require assistance, please don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com.

Stay safe and healthy!
