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 dust and mold from open windows harming us?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense heat wave we had last week, my son and I started experiencing itchy eyes and sneezing fits. The windows in our third-floor apartment were left open to let in some fresh air, but now that the temperature has dropped significantly, there seems to be a lot of dust and mold collecting around the window sills and on the carpet. Could this be from the increase in humidity or just regular dust? What can we do to clean up without making things worse for our health?

Absolutely, dust and mold from open windows can indeed be harmful. Especially after the intense heat wave we experienced, humidity levels may have risen causing an increase in dust and potentially leading to mold growth around window sills and on carpets. This scenario is quite common in Dubai, considering our climate conditions.

In the UAE, it's important to keep a close eye on indoor air quality, especially during such transitions from very hot and dry weather to cooler but more humid ones. Dust can irritate eyes, nose, and throat, leading to sneezing fits like what you're experiencing. Mold, on the other hand, not only affects the respiratory system but can also cause allergic reactions.

Here’s a practical approach to tackle this issue:

Firstly, ensure that the windows are properly closed and sealed when the outside temperature is cooler than inside. This will prevent further dust entry while keeping the cool air in. Use window screens to keep insects out without compromising on airflow.

Secondly, consider using a HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) vacuum cleaner for thorough cleaning of carpets and upholstery. These vacuums are highly effective at capturing fine particles that regular vacuums might miss.

Thirdly, you can gently wipe down window sills with a solution of water and mild detergent to remove any visible mold or dust. Be sure to dry the area thoroughly after cleaning to prevent moisture buildup which could foster mold growth.

Fourthly, increase indoor humidity by using a humidifier set at around 40-50% relative humidity. This can help reduce the risk of mold growth while keeping your home comfortable.

Lastly, if symptoms persist or worsen despite these measures, it's wise to consult an environmental inspection company like ours here in Dubai. We offer professional services for indoor air quality assessment and remediation. For more info, you could call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for health, especially during such climatic transitions. Stay proactive and take necessary measures to ensure a comfortable and safe living environment.
