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 sandstorm dust really harmful indoors?« Back to Previous Page

After the sandstorm last week, I noticed a fine yellow dust on all my furniture and even my curtains. It’s quite alarming how quickly it spread throughout the apartment, especially since we live in the high-rise building near the desert. The coughing in my kids has been pretty bad too. How urgent is this issue really?

Desert dust from sandstorms can indeed pose significant health and comfort concerns indoors. In the UAE, especially in Dubai where high-rise buildings are common near desert areas, sandstorms can send a fine layer of yellowish dust floating through the air. This quick spread throughout your apartment is quite concerning.

Firstly, the dust you noticed on furniture and curtains isn't just unsightly; it could be carrying fine particulates that might trigger respiratory issues, especially in children like yours. The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor air quality (IAQ), though sandstorms can make these challenging to maintain. According to the Environment Agency-Abu Dhabi, dust particles smaller than 10 microns (PM10) and even finer, known as PM2.5, are particularly harmful as they can penetrate deep into the lungs.

The coughing in your kids could be due to irritants in the dust or possibly from inhaling larger particles that may cause irritation. It's important to act promptly to protect their health.

For a comprehensive assessment of the indoor air quality and identification of any potential issues, I would recommend contacting a professional environmental inspection service like Saniservice. You can call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation. They will be able to provide you with a detailed analysis and recommendations on how to improve the air quality in your home.

In the meantime, consider using an air purifier that can filter out fine particles. Keeping windows closed during sandstorms is also crucial to prevent dust from entering your home. Additionally, regularly cleaning surfaces with microfiber cloths or HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaners can help reduce dust accumulation.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is essential for health and comfort, especially in the challenging conditions caused by frequent sandstorms in Dubai. Don't hesitate to take action if you notice any concerning symptoms in yourself or your family members.
