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 this dust making my kids sick?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I’ve noticed a persistent musty smell in our kitchen, especially since my son started complaining about his throat. The windowsills are covered in a layer of fine, powdery dust that seems to be everywhere, and it’s making me worry about what might be lingering on the surfaces where my kids eat their meals. Could this be causing their coughs? What can I do to clean thoroughly without putting them at risk?

Is This Dust Making My Kids Sick?

First off, i can understand your concerns. Living in dubai, we're no strangers to dust storms that can really kick up a storm of fine particles. The musty smell and the powdery dust on windowsills sound like they could be from a combination of factors - including dust, mold spores, or even pests. It's not uncommon for such elements to cause respiratory issues in children, especially if they are sensitive.

Firstly, it’s wise to rule out any serious health concerns by having your home inspected professionally. In the uae, local regulations and guidelines from bodies like the department of economic development (DED) and the municipality can provide a framework for what's expected when dealing with indoor air quality issues. However, given the circumstances, i would recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection. They have local expertise that can help identify if there are any mold or pest infestations that could be causing these symptoms.

In the meantime, here are a few steps you can take:

1. Ventilation: Open windows and use air purifiers to improve indoor air quality. Dubai’s warm climate allows for good cross-ventilation during cooler months.
2. Dust Removal: Use microfiber cloths or vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters to minimize the spread of dust while cleaning. Be sure to clean surfaces thoroughly, including under furniture where dust can accumulate.
3. Moisture Control: Check for any signs of water damage or condensation that could be leading to mold growth. Mold thrives in damp environments and is often a hidden source of musty smells.
4. Regular Cleaning Schedule: Establishing a regular cleaning routine, especially after storms, can help keep allergens at bay.

It’s also important to monitor your child's symptoms closely. If their cough persists or worsens, it might be time to consult a pediatrician who can provide medical advice and treatment if necessary.

Remember, the key is to take proactive steps to ensure both comfort and safety in your home environment. Stay vigilant and don't hesitate to seek professional help when needed.
