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 poor air quality from dust storm harming family?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last week, I noticed a strange odor lingering in our living room, especially when we open the windows. My daughter has been experiencing frequent sneezing and a cough since then, which concerns me as it wasn’t before. Could this be related to poor air quality or cleaning methods? What steps should I take to clean my home more effectively without risking my family's health?

The dust storm last week could indeed be the source of your family's discomfort. In Dubai and the UAE, dust storms are a common occurrence, especially during certain months, and they can significantly impact air quality inside homes. The strange odor you're noticing and your daughter's symptoms might be linked to this poor indoor environment.

Firstly, it’s important to understand that in the UAE, there aren't specific regulations regarding indoor air quality as stringent as some other countries, but maintaining good air quality is crucial for health, especially during such events.

To address this situation effectively, you should consider a few immediate steps:

1. Ventilation: Open windows and use fans to improve airflow, but make sure to do so when the outside environment isn't too dusty or polluted.

2. HEPA Filters: Invest in high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters for your air conditioning units or portable ones. They can capture fine particles that might have entered your home during the storm.

3. Humidity Control: Dust storms often bring with them higher humidity levels, which can create an ideal environment for mold growth. Use dehumidifiers to keep indoor humidity low and reduce dampness.

4. Deep Cleaning: Perform a thorough cleaning of your living spaces. Focus on areas that were directly affected by the dust storm, like windowsills, corners where furniture meets walls, and air vents. Use microfiber cloths and HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaners for this purpose.

5. Furniture and Upholstery Care: Dust mites can thrive in soft furnishings during such events. Vacuum carpets, drapes, and furniture regularly to remove any dust that might have settled.

6. Professional Inspection: If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be wise to seek a professional inspection. Here at Saniservice, we offer comprehensive indoor air quality assessments and remediation services tailored for our region. You can contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.
