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 haze affecting air quality harmful to kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a persistent haze in my living room, especially in the afternoon when the windows are closed. It’s concerning because my kids have been complaining of coughing fits lately, and I’m not sure if it’s due to the air quality or something else. Should I be worrying about this, or is it just normal for apartments here?

The haze you're noticing could be due to various factors, one of which is the recent dust storms. In Dubai and UAE, it's quite common during certain times of the year for heavy winds to kick up dust into the air, leading to a noticeable haziness indoors. However, persistent issues, especially when accompanied by health complaints like coughing from your kids, may warrant closer inspection.

In the UAE, regulations regarding indoor air quality are not as stringent compared to some other countries but it's still important for residents and businesses to maintain good air quality in their premises. The haze you see might be particulate matter (PM) that can enter through closed windows or even from outside sources like construction sites or nearby industrial areas.

For your concern, it would be wise to have a professional indoor air quality inspection done. This will help identify the exact source of the haziness and any potential health risks for your family. Professionals can also provide guidance on how to mitigate these issues based on their findings. If you're in Dubai, you can contact 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for an inspection.

In the meantime, there are some steps you can take to improve air quality at home:
1. Ensure your HVAC system is clean and serviced regularly as it helps filter out a lot of airborne particles.
2. Use air purifiers that have HEPA filters which can capture even very small particles including PM 2.5.
3. Keep windows closed during dust storms or periods when the outdoor air quality index (AQI) is high.
4. Regularly clean your home to reduce dust accumulation.

Remember, it's always better to be proactive about your family's health. If you notice any worsening of symptoms in yourself or your kids, consulting a healthcare provider would also be advisable.
