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 worried about particles in our living room?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I’ve noticed a persistent cloud of fine particles lingering around in our living room, especially when the air conditioning is on. It’s not only noticeable but also seems to irritate my daughter's asthma. How urgent should I be about addressing this issue, and what steps can I take right away?

Absolutely, you should be worried about those particles in your living room. In the UAE, especially during dust storms like the one we just experienced, it's common to see a resurgence of fine particulates that can pose health risks, particularly for individuals with respiratory issues such as asthma.

Firstly, it’s important to understand that air quality regulations in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, which are part of the UAE, don't allow high levels of particulate matter (PM) indoors. The Ministry of Community Development and Labor (MoCDAL), formerly known as the Ministry of Labour, has guidelines but they're more focused on occupational health than residential settings.

Given your daughter's asthma, it’s crucial to take action quickly. Start by ensuring that everyone in the house stays away from direct sources of irritation such as dusty areas or strong perfumes. Also, keep windows closed tightly to prevent outside pollutants from entering the home. Use air purifiers with HEPA filters if you have them; they can be very effective at trapping fine particles.

The next step would be to get a professional indoor environmental inspection. Such inspections are crucial because they can identify not only dust but also mold and other potential allergens that could exacerbate her condition. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer professional inspections, so consider contacting them for an assessment.

You should also clean your air conditioning system thoroughly. Dirty filters can be a significant source of indoor pollutants. Replace any worn-out or dirty filters with new ones and make sure to clean the condenser coil regularly. This will help reduce dust recirculation within the home.

Additionally, humidity levels need attention. High humidity can encourage mold growth, which is another risk factor for asthma. Use dehumidifiers if necessary, aiming to keep indoor humidity at around 40-60%.

In summary, don’t delay in addressing this issue. The particles lingering in your living room could be detrimental to you and especially your daughter’s health. Act now by having a professional inspection done and take immediate steps to improve the air quality in your home. If you need help or further advice, feel free to contact 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, keeping a close eye on indoor air quality is key, especially after events like dust storms. Stay proactive and ensure your family's health remains top priority!
