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 get an air purifier for dust storms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms last month, I’ve noticed a persistent dry cough in both my son and daughter. The air feels thick when we walk into our living room after being outside. I’m worried it might be due to all the dust settling inside. Given how close their rooms are to the windows, should I invest in an air purifier or is there something else I should do?

Absolutely, getting an air purifier can be a smart move for your family's health during dust storm season. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, we've seen how these storms can bring in tons of fine particulate matter and other irritants that can affect indoor air quality.

Firstly, it’s important to recognize that dust storms are common here due to our geographical location and the climate conditions. The heavy winds can kick up a lot of sand and dirt from nearby construction sites or desert areas, leading to an increase in airborne particles indoors. This can indeed cause respiratory issues like coughing, especially in children.

Investing in an air purifier with HEPA filters would be a good start. These filters are designed to capture tiny particles such as dust mites, pollen, and even some bacteria. For optimal results, look for models that have a CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) rating which reflects their ability to clean the air.

Additionally, consider maintaining good indoor hygiene practices. Regularly cleaning your carpets, rugs, and furniture can help reduce the amount of settled dust in your home. Also, ensure that windows are properly sealed or kept closed during high-risk periods to prevent outdoor pollutants from entering.

However, if you're experiencing persistent symptoms despite these measures, it might be wise to have a professional environmental inspection done. Here in Dubai, companies like Saniservice can provide such services and will give you a detailed report on your home's indoor air quality.

Remember that while dust storms are inevitable, we can take steps to mitigate their effects. If you need assistance or advice, don't hesitate to reach out to us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation.

Stay healthy and keep your home clean!
