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 white dust harmful with persistent coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent heatwave, we’ve had our air conditioning running almost non-stop. The past few days, there’s a weird white dust coating everything in my bedroom, even though no one has been moving around much. It’s starting to worry me since my daughter has been coughing more than usual. Could this be cleaning residue from Ramadan preparations or something else?

Absolutely understandable to be worried about the white dust and your daughter's persistent cough. In Dubai/UAE, we've seen similar scenarios after intense heatwaves and prolonged air conditioning usage. The white powder you're noticing could indeed be from dust or cleaning residues, possibly related to Ramadan preparations.

During this time, many households undergo thorough cleanings to prepare for fasting and celebrations. Chemicals used in these processes might leave a residue that can become airborne and settle on surfaces over time. Additionally, with the air conditioning running non-stop, it's not uncommon for dust particles to circulate more frequently.

However, given your concerns about the coughing, I would recommend getting a professional inspection done. The Service Company here is Saniservice - you could call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an assessment. They can help identify the source of the dust and ensure it's not something more serious like mold growth.

To act on this, it’s important to keep your home well-ventilated as much as possible when temperatures drop a bit. Use high-efficiency filters in your air conditioning units too - that can catch smaller particles before they circulate. Also, make sure to clean frequently touched surfaces and your daughter's room more thoroughly with natural cleaning agents if necessary.

Remember, keeping an eye on indoor air quality is key especially during these times when humidity levels change rapidly. If Saniservice finds anything unusual, they may recommend additional steps such as air purifiers or even some dehumidifying measures to prevent any potential health risks.

Stay alert and proactive – your family's health matters!
