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 storm harmful to kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I noticed a cloud of fine dirt swirling around in our living room. It’s unsettling to think about my children playing there, especially since their coughs have been acting up lately. The AC vents seemed particularly dusty this time. Could this be from the ducts? What should I do about it?

Dust from storms can indeed be harmful to kids and others in the household. In the UAE, especially during dust events like those we've experienced recently, fine particles suspended in the air can include a variety of contaminants such as sand, pollen, and even microorganisms. These tiny particulates can easily enter your home through open windows or even via HVAC systems.

In Dubai/UAE, the health effects of airborne dust are well-documented. Fine particles, also known as PM10 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than 10 micrometers), can irritate the respiratory system and exacerbate conditions like asthma and bronchitis. For children, who have smaller airways, this risk is even greater.

Considering your concerns about your children's coughs, it’s important to consider the possibility that dust from the recent storms could be causing or contributing to their symptoms. Additionally, if the AC vents are particularly dusty, it suggests that particles might indeed be making their way through the ductwork and into your living spaces.

It would be wise to have a professional inspection of your HVAC system to ensure there isn't any significant accumulation of dust in the ducts that could be affecting air quality. In Dubai, local regulations emphasize the importance of maintaining good indoor air quality (IAQ) for public health. Regular maintenance of HVAC systems is crucial, and cleaning or replacing filters can help improve IAQ.

If you decide to proceed with a professional inspection, Saniservice provides expert services in this area. You can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance. They offer comprehensive duct cleaning that can remove not only dust but also mold spores and other allergens which might be contributing to your children's coughs.

Remember, maintaining clean air is key to ensuring a healthy living environment, especially for kids. Regular maintenance of your HVAC system will help keep the air in your home free from harmful particles, making it safer for everyone.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you want to learn more about their services and how they can help improve indoor air quality in your home.
