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 cleaning causing my cough and sneezing?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense dust storms last month, I noticed a persistent cough and sneezing in both my bedroom and living room, especially when we open the windows. The air feels thick and seems to be causing more than just seasonal allergies. Could this be due to poor cleaning practices or dust accumulation? What steps should I take to clean these zones effectively without worsening the situation?

Is poor cleaning causing my cough and sneezing? It's definitely possible. The dust storms we experience in the UAE can introduce a significant amount of particulate matter into our indoor spaces, especially when windows are opened. If your home isn't cleaned thoroughly or if there's an accumulation of dust, this could certainly exacerbate respiratory issues like coughs and sneezes.

In Dubai, it’s common to see an increase in such complaints during and after sandstorms. According to the UAE's Building Code, it's crucial that indoor environments maintain good air quality, especially in residential areas. This means ensuring that cleaning practices are up to par, with a focus on removing dust and allergens from your living spaces.

Firstly, it’s essential to perform a deep clean of both zones. Start by vacuuming carpets and rugs thoroughly using a HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaner which can trap tiny particles that regular vacuums might miss. Don’t forget to clean behind furniture where dust tends to accumulate. For surfaces like windowsills, mirrors, and tables, use microfiber cloths with a solution of mild detergent or an approved cleaning product.

Secondly, consider investing in air purifiers. The Ministry of Community Development & Labor (MOCDL) recommends these for offices and homes as they can help reduce allergens and improve indoor air quality. A HEPA filter is especially effective at capturing dust mites, pollen, and other irritants.

If the issue persists or if you experience severe symptoms, it might be wise to call in a professional for an inspection. Our company, Saniservice, offers comprehensive environmental assessments that can identify potential sources of indoor air pollution. We recommend calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com for more information.

In the meantime, ensure you're maintaining good ventilation by opening windows when the outdoor air quality is acceptable and using exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms to reduce moisture buildup. This can help prevent mold growth, which can be a significant health concern post-dust storms.

Remember, keeping your indoor environment clean and well-maintained is key to reducing respiratory issues during such times.
