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 haze from outdoor storm lasting?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a persistent haze in our living room that seemed to linger even after we cleaned. The air feels thick and itchy, especially when my kids play their video games on the couch. Could this be due to particles from outside getting trapped inside or is there something else causing this? Any advice on improving indoor air quality would be greatly appreciated.

Indoor haze from outdoor storms can indeed persist and make the air feel thick and itchy. This is quite common after heavy dust events in Dubai and UAE regions like yours. The persistent haziness could be due to fine particulate matter (PM) from the storm being trapped inside your home's filtration system or because of inadequate ventilation.

In Abu Dhabi and Dubai, it's not uncommon for outdoor storms to bring in high levels of dust and other particles that can affect indoor air quality. These particles might include sand, pollen, dust mites, and even some microorganisms. Once they enter your home through open windows, poorly sealed doors or gaps, these particulates can get circulated by your HVAC system and settle in various parts of the house, including where your kids enjoy their gaming sessions.

To address this issue effectively, consider enhancing your indoor air quality management practices:

1. Upgrade Your Air Filters: Replace standard filters with higher efficiency ones like HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) or True HEPA filters which can capture fine particles as small as 0.3 microns.
2. Increase Ventilation: Open windows when the outdoor air quality is good, and use exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms to reduce indoor humidity that could support mold growth. However, be cautious during high-storm periods.
3. Use Air Purifiers: These devices can help filter out particles from the air in your living room and other common areas where you spend time.
4. Regular Cleaning: Dust and vacuum regularly, especially surfaces like couches and floors where fine particulates might settle.

If these measures don’t significantly improve the situation or if you notice symptoms such as coughing, itchy eyes, or difficulty breathing among family members, consider professional inspection services. Saniservice offers a range of indoor air quality assessments tailored for Dubai’s climate conditions that can help identify and resolve specific issues.
