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 frost-like film indoors due to poor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a weird film starting to form on the marble surfaces of our living room. It’s not dirt or grime, but something that looks almost like a fine layer of frost. The furniture and even the glass surfaces are all affected. Has anyone else experienced this in Dubai, or could it be a sign of poor air quality inside the house?

Well, it sounds like a peculiar issue indeed. The film you've noticed on your marble surfaces and furniture could be a sign of indoor air quality issues in Dubai, especially given the recent dust storm. In the UAE, we commonly experience periods where particulate matter and other pollutants can make their way indoors, affecting everything from our health to the appearance of our furnishings.

Given what you've described, it's possible that this frost-like film is a result of condensation or moisture buildup due to high humidity levels inside your home. Dust storms can bring in large amounts of fine particles which could settle on surfaces and interact with any existing moisture, leading to these kinds of films. The glass surfaces being affected too might point towards something similar.

However, it's also worth considering that poor air quality within the house could be a contributing factor. High levels of particulates, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), or even mold spores can react with moisture in the air and settle on surfaces, creating these films. This is more likely if you notice any unpleasant odors, persistent coughing, or other health issues among family members.

For peace of mind and to ensure your indoor environment remains healthy and safe, I'd recommend a professional inspection by Saniservice. They can assess the situation thoroughly and provide specific recommendations for cleaning products and methods that are effective in Dubai's climate. Their expertise will also help rule out more serious issues like mold growth which could be harmful if not addressed properly.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, especially with our local climate conditions. Regular ventilation and using air purifiers can significantly improve the overall environment within your home.
