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 dustiness linked to poor indoor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new flat two months ago, I’ve noticed a persistent dustiness in the air, especially after the AC turns on. It's particularly noticeable when my kids come home from school, and they often complain about itchy eyes and sore throats. Given that we’re now experiencing more frequent episodes of coughing and sneezing, could this be linked to poor indoor air quality? What steps should I take to clean the air in our home more effectively?

Dustiness can indeed be linked to poor indoor air quality. In Dubai and the UAE, we often experience high humidity levels especially during summer months which can lead to an increase in dust particles in the air. These particles can come from various sources such as construction materials, household items, or even outdoor pollutants that find their way inside.

The symptoms your family is experiencing - itchy eyes and sore throats - are common indications of poor air quality. The frequent coughing and sneezing could be due to allergens like dust mites, mold spores, or other irritants present in the air.

To effectively clean the air in your home, start by addressing the sources of dust and dirt. Regularly cleaning with a microfiber cloth can help trap dust and prevent it from floating around. Vacuuming and dusting surfaces frequently are also important steps to take.

In Dubai, it's common for homes to have high levels of dust due to air conditioning systems and frequent sand storms. Ensure that your AC filters are clean and replace them every 3-6 months or as recommended by the manufacturer. This can significantly reduce the amount of dust circulating in your home.

Another tip is to use a dehumidifier, especially during summer when humidity levels soar. Keeping relative humidity below 50% can help prevent mold growth, which could be contributing to your family's discomfort.

For those with severe cases or persistent symptoms despite regular cleaning, I recommend consulting a professional for an indoor air quality inspection. In Dubai, you might want to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for expert advice and remediation services tailored to the local climate conditions.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial not only in Dubai but across the UAE. A healthier home environment can lead to fewer allergies, better sleep quality, and overall well-being for you and your family.
