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 odor after storm linked to health issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I’ve noticed a strange, lingering odor in our living room near the windows where we keep displaying new toys and clothes. My son has been complaining of a persistent cough and my wife is experiencing shortness of breath whenever we spend time there. Could this be related to poor cleaning practices or residual dust from the storm?

Absolutely, the odor you've been noticing and your family's discomfort could very well be linked to poor cleaning practices following the dust storm. The UAE is prone to such weather events that can bring a host of particulates into indoor spaces, including dust, pollen, and even mold spores. In Dubai, especially during the cooler months, we often see these storms and they can indeed leave lingering effects on our living environments.

Firstly, it's important to assess whether the odor is from residual storm dust or if there might be a more serious issue like mold growth due to moisture ingress. The UAE has strict environmental regulations regarding indoor air quality (IAQ), particularly with regard to public spaces and buildings. However, for residential areas, while there aren't as stringent guidelines, it's crucial to maintain high standards of hygiene.

Given the symptoms your family is experiencing, I'd recommend a professional inspection by an IAQ expert or mold assessor. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice are well-respected and can provide thorough assessments. You could contact them at 800-MOLDS or send an email to hello@saniservice.com.

In the meantime, here are some practical steps you can take:
1. Open windows for a few hours to allow fresh air in, but make sure to keep an eye on weather conditions.
2. Use HEPA filters in your air purifiers if you have them. They’re excellent at capturing small particles and odors.
3. Deep clean the area by using a damp cloth or mop to remove any dust and debris. Ensure you use appropriate cleaning products that don't release harsh chemicals into the air.
4. Check for moisture signs around windows, which can be a breeding ground for mold if not addressed properly.

If the odor persists or symptoms worsen, it’s crucial to act quickly. Don’t ignore these signs as they could indicate a more serious problem that needs professional attention before it exacerbates and causes long-term health issues.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key to our well-being, especially in such an arid climate where dust storms can be frequent.
