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 indoor air grittiness normal after dust storms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I’ve noticed a distinct sandiness in the air even when the windows are closed. The air feels gritty and my throat has been bothering me more than usual. I’m not sure if this is normal or if I need to hire an air quality specialist. Can anyone give me advice on handling indoor air issues myself?

Indoor air grittiness is definitely something to be concerned about after dust storms, especially in the UAE where we have experienced those intense weather conditions. The presence of sand particles and other fine particulates can indeed make the air feel gritty and cause respiratory issues like a scratchy throat or coughing.

In Dubai/UAE, it's normal for dust storms to kick up large amounts of sand from the desert and deposit them into buildings with closed windows. This is especially common during the summer months when we experience more frequent storms. However, if you find that your indoor air feels grittier than usual or if you're experiencing discomfort such as a sore throat, it might be time to take some proactive steps.

Firstly, ensure good ventilation by opening windows and using exhaust fans to circulate the air once the storm has passed. This can help remove some of the accumulated dust and particulates from your indoor environment. However, keep in mind that while this is helpful, it may not completely solve the issue as fine particles can linger for days.

For a more thorough solution, consider investing in an air purifier with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter. These devices are designed to capture small particles like dust and pollen, helping to improve indoor air quality. Additionally, using HEPA filters during cleaning sessions can also help remove airborne particles.

If the grittiness continues or if you experience persistent respiratory symptoms, it might be wise to have a professional air quality inspection performed. The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor environmental quality which your service provider should adhere to. Companies like Saniservice offer professional inspections and remediation services that comply with local standards.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for both comfort and health, especially in an environment as sandy as the UAE. If you're unsure about what steps to take or if symptoms persist, don't hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for expert advice.

So, while it's not uncommon for indoor air to feel gritty after a dust storm, taking proactive measures can significantly improve the situation. Stay alert and keep your home as clean and healthy as possible!
