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 nearby construction causing our dust issue?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a fine, almost imperceptible dust settling on everything in our second-floor flat. It's particularly noticeable on the windowsills and even my kids’ schoolbooks that are kept by the window. We've lived here for 2 years and just noticed this issue creeping in. Could there be some kind of construction happening nearby or is it something else causing all this dust?

Indeed, the likelihood of nearby construction causing your dust issue is quite high. In the UAE and specifically in Dubai, construction activities are a common occurrence due to rapid urban development. The fine particles you're noticing could be from such projects. However, there are several other potential causes that we should consider as well.

In the context of the United Arab Emirates, especially in densely built-up areas like Dubai, dust issues can arise from various sources including construction sites, sand storms (especially during summer), and even dry cleaning activities. According to UAE's Environmental Law 21/2008, construction companies are required to implement dust control measures such as water spraying systems on-site, fencing around the perimeter of the work area, and regular site clean-ups.

Given your situation where you've only recently noticed this dust settling in, it’s possible that a new construction project has started near your residence. The particles from these works can travel quite some distance, especially during windy conditions or after rain, which could explain why you are noticing the dust even on items kept indoors like your kids' schoolbooks.

However, before jumping to conclusions, it would be wise to conduct a professional inspection. Our company offers comprehensive indoor air quality assessments that can help identify the exact sources of dust and recommend appropriate remediation steps. If we do find construction-related particles as the cause, we can advise on measures such as using air purifiers with HEPA filters, sealing windows when possible, or even moving your belongings to a less dusty area temporarily.

If you decide not to go professional just yet, there are some basic steps you can take:
• Regularly clean surfaces and window sills
• Use damp cloths instead of dry ones to avoid spreading the dust around
• Keep windows closed during windy conditions

Should you notice any signs of mold or if the dust issue persists despite these measures, it might be time to seek professional help. Our contact details are 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or you can email us at hello@saniservice.com for further assistance.

Remember, maintaining a clean and healthy indoor environment is crucial, especially in a place like Dubai where the climate can be quite harsh during certain times of the year.
