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 clean sandstorm dust or landlord's responsibility?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent sandstorms, I’ve noticed a layer of fine, gritty dust on every surface in my second-floor rental apartment. It’s particularly noticeable on the windowsill where I spend time reading after work. Should I be concerned about cleaning this up or is it considered part of the landlord's maintenance?

Absolutely, cleaning the sandstorm dust is something you should handle personally. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, sandstorms are a common occurrence and they can bring a lot of fine particles into your living space. The first thing to do after such storms pass is to clean thoroughly to ensure that the air quality in your home improves.

It’s important to recognize that while some responsibilities for maintaining cleanliness might lie with landlords, it's generally recommended that you take proactive steps to keep your apartment safe and habitable. After a sandstorm, you should start by opening windows (if possible) or use an exhaust fan to ventilate the space. This can help remove as much dust as feasible before you begin cleaning.

To clean effectively:
1. Start with a light sweeping of floors using a soft-bristled broom.
2. Use a damp cloth or sponge for surfaces like tables, windowsills, and desks where fine grit is more visible. This helps prevent the dust from spreading further.
3. For tougher areas, you might need to use a mixture of mild detergent and water on microfiber cloths or sponges.

Windowsills are particularly important as they can accumulate a lot of dust due to their exposure. Spend extra time ensuring that these areas are spotless.

Regarding the UAE-specific regulations: while there isn't specific legislation mandating landlords to clean post-sandstorms, it is customary for tenants and landlords to work together in maintaining the property. If you find yourself having persistent issues or if the sandstorm dust becomes a health concern, it might be worth reaching out to your landlord for assistance.

Should you notice any significant mold growth as a result of the storm or if you have ongoing health concerns due to exposure, don't hesitate to seek professional help. Our company offers free inspections and can provide guidance on how best to proceed if needed. You can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information.

Remember, proactive cleaning is key in maintaining a healthy indoor environment during the sandstorms season. Stay safe!
