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 persistent dust normal after sandstorms?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense sandstorms we had last week, I noticed a persistent dust cloud when turning on the air conditioner in my living room. It’s been going on for a few days now, and it’s really concerning me—especially with everyone being home more due to the cooler weather. How urgent is this issue, and what should I do first?

Is persistent dust normal after sandstorms?

After those intense sandstorms we've experienced here in the UAE, it's understandable to be concerned about that dust cloud you're noticing when turning on your air conditioning. While it can seem concerning, it’s not uncommon for some lingering dust to occur post-sandstorm—especially given our climate and the nature of these storms.

In Dubai/UAE, during sandstorms, particulate matter is blown into the atmosphere, which then settles inside your home, particularly in areas that aren’t frequently accessed or cleaned. With everyone being home more now due to cooler weather, this dust can become more noticeable as it gets stirred up by air circulation from your AC system.

However, if you're seeing a persistent cloud of dust, this could indicate deeper issues with the condition and cleanliness of your HVAC systems—specifically your ducts. The UAE's Building Code (UAE Federal Law 12 of 2009) mandates regular maintenance and cleaning of air conditioning systems to ensure good indoor environmental quality, which can be compromised by sandstorms.

If this is a new issue or if the dust cloud persists despite the storm, it would be wise to have your system inspected professionally. Saniservice.com offers comprehensive duct cleaning services that are tailored to our region's climate and conditions. Their technicians will thoroughly clean your HVAC systems, ensuring they operate efficiently and safely.

In addition to professional inspection and cleaning, here are some immediate steps you can take:

1. Change your air filter: A clogged or dirty filter could be contributing to the dust issue. Check it regularly and replace as necessary.
2. Use a HEPA air purifier: This can help capture fine particles that might be passing through your system.
3. Ensure proper sealing of gaps around windows and doors: Preventing drafts and unwanted entry points for sand and dust.

If you're still unsure or if the issue is worsening, don't hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a professional assessment and cleaning. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for your health and comfort, especially during such weather conditions.

Stay safe and healthy!
