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 indoor air quality worsening my daughter's asthma?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I’ve noticed a persistent dry cough and wheezing from my daughter every time she plays in her room. The windows are usually closed during these storms to keep out the sand, but the air still seems quite thick and doesn’t feel clean. Could this be causing or worsening her asthma? What can we do to improve the air quality in our home?

The poor indoor air quality could indeed be worsening your daughter's asthma symptoms. Dust storms and the aftermath can introduce allergens like pollen, dust mites, mold spores, and even microscopic sand particles into your home. These particles not only irritate the respiratory system but also trigger asthmatic reactions in individuals who are sensitive to such irritants.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, dust storms can be quite frequent, especially during certain times of the year when weather conditions favor these events. The combination of closed windows and a thick, dusty atmosphere can lead to stagnant air that doesn't allow for proper circulation and filtration. This environment is not ideal for someone with asthma.

To address this issue, you might want to consider several steps:
1. Professional Inspection: It’s advisable to have your home inspected by an expert in indoor environmental quality (IEQ). In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can provide detailed assessments of air quality and identify potential sources of allergens and irritants.
2. Air Filtration System: Installing a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter or a whole-house air purifier can significantly improve the indoor air quality by capturing fine particles that might be triggering your daughter's asthma symptoms.
3. Regular Cleaning: Dusting, vacuuming with a HEPA filter, and washing bedding in hot water regularly can help reduce allergens and irritants in your home.
4. Humidity Control: Keeping the humidity levels between 30% to 50% can prevent mold growth which is another common trigger for asthma. You might want to use a dehumidifier or an air conditioner during humid months.
5. Ventilation: While it's crucial to keep windows closed during dust storms, you should ensure that your home has adequate ventilation when the weather allows. This helps in reducing indoor pollutants and maintaining fresh air.

Remember, if symptoms persist despite these measures, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider who can offer personalized advice and treatment options for managing asthma.
