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 grayish powder after dust storm harmful?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I’ve noticed a layer of fine, grayish powder all over the living room furniture and windowsills. It’s particularly worrying as my children are starting to show signs of coughing and sneezing more often. Given our history of respiratory issues in this area, is there anything specific I should be looking for or doing to clean up the dust thoroughly?

The grayish powder you've noticed after the dust storm is indeed concerning and could be harmful. In the UAE, especially areas like Dubai that often experience such storms, fine particles can contain a variety of materials including dust, pollen, sand, and even pollutants from nearby construction sites or traffic.

These particles can settle on surfaces and become airborne when disturbed, leading to inhalation issues, particularly for individuals with existing respiratory problems. For children, elderly folks, and those with allergies, the risk is higher as they might be more susceptible to irritation and exacerbation of their conditions.

Given your concerns about your children's health and history of respiratory issues in the area, it would be wise to take prompt action. Firstly, ensure thorough cleaning of all surfaces, including furniture, windowsills, and floors. Use a damp cloth or microfiber dusters to minimize dust particles becoming airborne during the process. Avoid using brooms as they can stir up dust.

A HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) vacuum cleaner is highly recommended for removing fine particulates effectively without releasing them back into the air. After cleaning, consider airing out your home by opening windows when weather permits, but ensure you do so in a controlled manner to avoid further dust influx.

It would also be prudent to have your indoor environment inspected professionally. In Dubai, regulations and standards for indoor air quality are set by the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) and other local authorities. A professional inspection can help identify any additional sources of pollution or allergens that might need remediation.

Given the specifics of your situation, I highly recommend calling 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) for an expert consultation or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule a professional inspection. Early intervention can prevent further health issues and ensure a healthier living environment for you and your family.

Remember, keeping the air clean and free from allergens is key in managing respiratory conditions, especially during such weather events. Stay proactive and take necessary steps to safeguard your indoor environment.
