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 dust from storm harmful to health?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a layer of fine, almost invisible particles settling on everything in my living room. It’s affecting not only the cleanliness but also making it harder to breathe sometimes. How urgent is it to address this issue, and what steps should I take right away?

Indoor dust from stormy weather can indeed pose some health risks. In the UAE, particulate matter (PM) from storms such as the recent one can contain tiny particles that are invisible to the naked eye. These particles could consist of fine sand, soil, and potentially even pollutants like pollen or dust mites – all of which might contribute to discomfort and respiratory issues.

In Dubai and the UAE in general, there are no specific regulations targeting storm-related dust directly; however, maintaining indoor air quality is a key aspect of health and comfort. The Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHP) advises that prolonged exposure to high levels of particulates can lead to irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat as well as exacerbating existing respiratory conditions like asthma.

The layer you noticed on your living room surfaces isn't just aesthetically displeasing - it might be affecting your air quality. Immediate steps are recommended to address this issue:

1. Ventilation: Open windows cautiously if possible, ensuring to close them quickly once the dust settles to prevent further entry.
2. HEPA Filters: Utilize high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters in your air conditioning or ventilation systems to trap these fine particles.
3. Dust Removal: Gently sweep and vacuum surfaces using a HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaner, which can capture tiny particles that regular vacuums might miss.
4. Humidity Control: Monitor indoor humidity levels as high moisture can encourage mold growth. Use dehumidifiers if necessary to keep it below 60%.

If you experience persistent symptoms like coughing or shortness of breath after the storm, consult a healthcare professional. For those with severe allergies or respiratory conditions, a professional inspection might be recommended to ensure there are no hidden issues.

Remember, maintaining indoor air quality is crucial for overall health and well-being. If you're unsure about your home's environmental conditions, don't hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for expert advice and services.

Always stay informed and proactive in managing the indoor environment in Dubai!
