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 powdery residue harmful to kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm a few weeks ago, I’ve noticed some strange white powdery residue on the windowsills and in corners of my children’s room. I’m worried it might be from cleaning supplies left out or not properly disposed of by the cleaning staff. The kids have been complaining about sneezing more frequently lately too. Has anyone else experienced similar issues?

White powdery residue can indeed be concerning for kids and their health. In the UAE, especially considering your location in Dubai, such residues could potentially originate from various sources including cleaning supplies, dust storms, or even mold spores. It's essential to address this issue promptly.

Firstly, it’s important to know that not all white powdery substances are harmful; however, some can pose health risks, particularly if they contain chemicals from cleaning products. Some common culprits in Dubai include residues from bleach, disinfectants, or even chalky calcium deposits after heavy dust storms. Given the recent dust storm, it’s plausible that the residue could be a result of debris left behind.

For your children's safety and well-being, I would recommend having the area inspected by a professional environmental service provider such as Saniservice. They can conduct tests to determine the nature of the residue and advise on safe removal methods. If you suspect mold, it’s crucial to address this promptly as molds can produce spores that may trigger allergic reactions or respiratory issues in children.

In the meantime, ensure good ventilation by opening windows when possible but avoid having your kids play near affected areas. It would be wise to ask for a thorough cleaning of your children's room by the cleaning staff ensuring all chemicals are properly stored and disposed of after use. Also, consider using eco-friendly cleaning products that are less likely to leave harmful residues.

Remember, in Dubai, there are specific regulations regarding the use of cleaning chemicals. Make sure any service provider complies with these standards to protect your family's health. If you notice persistent issues or if symptoms like frequent sneezing continue, don’t hesitate to consult a professional.

Should you decide to take action, please feel free to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a consultation or email hello@saniservice.com. Their expertise can help ensure your home environment is safe and healthy for your children.
