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 linked to bedroom allergies?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, we’ve noticed a persistent musty smell in our second-floor flat. The bedroom where my children sleep has been especially affected, and they’ve both been complaining of coughing and sneezing more than usual. Given that we’re in Dubai where allergens can be quite prevalent, could this be related to the cleaning or lack thereof after the storm?

Absolutely, the dust storm could be linked to your bedroom allergies. Dust storms and their aftermath can introduce substantial amounts of fine particulate matter into your living space, including dust, pollen, mold spores, and other allergens. In Dubai, where we experience such storms quite often due to its geographical location, it's not uncommon for these events to impact indoor air quality significantly.

The musty smell you're noticing could be a sign of moisture accumulation that may have occurred post-storm if there was any water infiltration into your flat. This can create ideal conditions for mold growth, especially in areas with poor ventilation like bedrooms where children spend a lot of time and whose immune systems might be more sensitive to allergens.

Given the situation, I strongly advise having an indoor air quality inspection done by professionals who are familiar with local regulations and environmental concerns. In Dubai, you can call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 for expert services or email hello@saniservice.com to arrange a visit.

In the meantime, here are some practical steps you could take:

1. Increase Ventilation: Open windows and doors if weather conditions permit. Use exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens to remove moisture from these areas.
2. Use Air Purifiers: Consider investing in high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters that can capture allergens and reduce indoor pollutants.
3. Regular Cleaning: Dust and vacuum your home regularly, focusing on high-allergen areas like carpets, bedding, and curtains. Use a damp cloth to wipe surfaces as dry cloths might just spread dust around.
4. Monitor Humidity Levels: Keep humidity levels below 60% using dehumidifiers if needed. High humidity can promote mold growth.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for your family’s health, especially in an environment like Dubai that experiences such storms. Don't hesitate to seek professional help to address any concerns you might have regarding the cleanliness and safety of your home post-storm.

Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 if you're unsure about what steps to take next.
