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.

Should I be concerned about dust after the storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the dust storm that hit Dubai last week, I noticed a layer of fine, almost invisible dust on every surface in my living room. It’s particularly noticeable on the glass surfaces where it leaves tiny streaks. My kids have been coughing more than usual too, and I’m worried it might be due to all this dust. Is there anything I can do to clean it effectively?

Absolutely, after such a dust storm, it's understandable to be concerned about the cleanliness and health implications in your home. The fine particulate matter that can settle on surfaces following a dust storm can indeed pose respiratory issues especially for children, elderly or those with pre-existing conditions like asthma.

Firstly, it’s important to recognize that while the UAE doesn't have stringent regulations specifically for post-dust-storm cleanups, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial. The Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) advises on general environmental health practices which can be adapted here.

Given your situation, immediate action should include thorough cleaning of surfaces. Use a soft cloth or microfiber duster to gently wipe down all glass surfaces as well as other hard surfaces like furniture and electronics. Pay extra attention to areas where dust tends to accumulate—corners, edges, and behind appliances. For windows, you might want to use a squeegee to ensure streak-free clarity.

To combat the lingering fine dust, consider using HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters in your air purifiers or vacuum cleaners if available. This can help trap tiny particles that regular vacuums may not catch. Regularly changing these filters will be crucial for their effectiveness.

Moreover, maintaining good ventilation can assist in removing any trapped dust from the air. If possible, keep windows slightly open to allow fresh air into your home during cooler times of the day. Just ensure you close them tightly if it gets too dusty outside or the temperature drops significantly.

If the symptoms persist—like persistent coughing—especially among children—it would be wise to schedule a professional indoor environmental inspection. Such an assessment could reveal hidden issues and provide tailored advice on maintaining better air quality in your home.

Lastly, don't forget about regular maintenance of your HVAC system. Dust storms can deposit significant amounts of dust on filters and components which can then circulate back into the living space. Cleaning or replacing these components as needed is a key step to ensuring clean indoor air.
