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 my kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent sandstorm, I’ve noticed a persistent dusty smell lingering in my living room. My kids have been complaining of itchy eyes and coughs since we got home from school yesterday. The AC seems to be circulating more dust than cool air. Could this be causing their symptoms, or is there something else at play?

The sandstorm you experienced recently could indeed be causing the dusty smell and those uncomfortable symptoms your kids have been experiencing. Dust particles from sandstorms can contain a variety of irritants including fine dust, pollen, and even some microscopic organisms which might contribute to allergies and respiratory issues.

In Dubai and the UAE in general, air quality during sandstorms can significantly deteriorate due to the influx of dry, sandy winds. This is not uncommon and has been observed throughout the region. The dusty smell you notice could be from the fine particles floating around your living room and being circulated by your AC system.

It's understandable that the kids are complaining about itchy eyes and coughs - these symptoms can be triggered by allergens present in high concentrations during sandstorms, especially if there's a mix of dust and pollen. The air conditioning unit might not be effectively filtering out all these particles, which could explain why more dust is circulating than cool air.

To ensure the well-being of your family, it would be prudent to have an inspection done by a professional in indoor environmental quality. In Dubai, you can contact companies like Saniservice for such services; their number is 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 and they also offer email support at hello@saniservice.com.

In the meantime, here are some practical steps to help mitigate the situation:
1. Keep windows closed as much as possible to prevent further entry of sand particles.
2. Use air purifiers with HEPA filters which can capture fine dust and allergens.
3. Encourage your kids to stay indoors and limit outdoor activities during high sandstorm periods.
4. Clean surfaces frequently using a damp cloth to minimize dust accumulation.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is essential for health, especially in the UAE where environmental conditions like sandstorms are more frequent. If symptoms persist despite these measures, it might be time to seek professional help.

Take care and hope your family feels better soon!
