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 from sandstorm harming home air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy sandstorm we experienced last week, I’ve noticed a layer of fine dust settling on everything in my living room. The air feels thicker lately too, almost like it’s harder to breathe sometimes. My kids have been coughing more than usual since the storm. How urgent is this issue and what steps can I take to improve the air quality at home?

Desert dust from sandstorms can indeed have an impact on your home's air quality. The fine particles that settle during such storms may contain a variety of pollutants, including soil particles, minerals, and even tiny amounts of harmful substances like heavy metals or pesticides. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, these storms are not uncommon, especially during certain times of the year when weather conditions allow for such events.

The symptoms you're noticing - coughing more frequently with your kids, a thicker feeling in the air, and general discomfort - can be indicative of poor indoor air quality due to increased dust levels. These issues could also contribute to respiratory irritations or exacerbate existing allergies.

In terms of how urgent this is, it really depends on the severity and duration of the storm. Short-term exposure might not pose a significant risk for most healthy individuals, but continuous exposure over several days can lead to noticeable effects on your health. Children, elderly people, and those with respiratory conditions are especially vulnerable.

To improve air quality at home during and after sandstorms, here are some practical steps you can take:

Firstly, keep windows closed as much as possible. This will prevent additional dust from entering the house. Use air conditioning if available to filter out outdoor contaminants.

Secondly, consider using a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter in your home's HVAC system or purchasing a portable HEPA filter for use in your living space. These filters can capture tiny particles that might otherwise circulate and irritate your family members' respiratory systems.

Thirdly, clean frequently used surfaces with damp cloths to reduce the spread of dust. This is particularly important for areas where food and drinks are prepared or consumed.

Fourthly, if you're concerned about the air quality or notice any unusual symptoms persisting beyond the storm, it might be wise to have a professional environmental inspection conducted. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can provide such services ensuring that your home's indoor environment is safe and healthy after sandstorms.

Lastly, remember to keep an eye on weather forecasts and prepare accordingly before storms hit by closing off rooms or moving furniture away from windows if possible.

If you find the situation worsening or notice any alarming changes in health, don't hesitate to reach out. Call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for expert advice and assistance.

Stay safe during these conditions!
