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 storm last week, we've noticed a layer of fine grayish powder all over our living room furniture and even on the curtains. It’s everywhere—from the corners to the windowsills. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately, which I suspect might be due to this dust. Has anyone else experienced similar issues after storms in Dubai, or any tips on how to clean it effectively without causing further irritation?

Dust from storms can indeed be harmful to kids, especially those already prone to respiratory issues. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, the dust brought by heavy storms often carries fine particles that can irritate the airways and potentially exacerbate conditions like asthma or allergies. This layer of grayish powder you noticed on your living room furniture and curtains is likely composed of sand particles, dirt, and other contaminants that can be harmful if breathed in.

Kids' immune systems are generally not as strong as adults', making them more susceptible to the effects of these fine particulates. The coughing you've observed could very well be a reaction to the dust. It's important to address this issue promptly for their health and comfort.

Firstly, it’s crucial to ensure your home is thoroughly cleaned after a storm. Use microfiber cloths or dusters as they are effective at trapping fine particles without spreading them around. Vacuuming with a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner can also help reduce the amount of dust and allergens in the air. However, be cautious when using traditional cleaning methods as they might stir up more dust.

It’s recommended to have an inspection by professionals if you suspect that the dust is causing significant discomfort or health issues. Saniservice, for instance, offers professional environmental inspections and remediation services tailored to the UAE market. You can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance.

In the meantime, keep windows closed to prevent more dust from entering your home. Consider using air purifiers that have a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter to help clean the indoor air quality. Keeping pets away from areas where kids play and regularly washing their bedding can also be beneficial in reducing allergens.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key to ensuring everyone’s health, especially your children's.
