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 storm debris worsening our indoor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I’ve noticed a persistent coughing spell among everyone in the house, especially in my son’s room where he sleeps. The AC seems to circulate an unusual amount of dust particles, making it hard to breathe sometimes. How urgent is this issue and what steps should we take right away to clean the air?

Dust storm debris can indeed have a significant impact on indoor air quality. In the UAE and especially Dubai, these storms are not uncommon during certain seasons. The aftermath of such storms can introduce a substantial amount of particulate matter into your home’s atmosphere which can exacerbate respiratory issues like coughing spells.

In your case, given that there's been a dust storm recently and you've noticed an increased presence of dust particles circulating through the air conditioning system, it is important to act swiftly. The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor air quality (IAQ), though these are not always strictly enforced in residential settings. However, ensuring good IAQ can prevent health issues like those your son might be experiencing.

Firstly, a thorough cleaning of your home should begin immediately. Focus on areas that the storm debris is most likely to have entered—windows, doors, and ventilation systems. Use high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters if you haven't already installed them; these can trap tiny particles including dust mites, pollen, and mold spores which can be particularly harmful.

Next, consider contacting a professional environmental inspection company for an assessment. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer services where they can conduct thorough air quality testing and recommend appropriate remediation steps based on the results. You can reach them via 800-MOLDS or email at hello@saniservice.com. They will have the necessary equipment to identify any persistent issues beyond what a simple cleaning might solve.

It is also wise to enhance your home’s ventilation, especially during peak times when outdoor conditions are particularly poor. Opening windows and running exhaust fans can help exchange indoor air for cleaner outdoor air, though this should be done carefully in light of local weather advisories and pollution levels.

Lastly, ensure that all family members, but especially those who might be more susceptible like children or the elderly, stay indoors as much as possible during dust storm events. This can minimize exposure to harmful particles.

Taking these steps will not only address your current concerns but also help maintain a healthier indoor environment in the long run. Remember, proactive measures are key when dealing with IAQ issues post-dust storms.
