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 test indoor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a persistent smell of dust in my living room, especially when the AC is on. It’s been going on for about two weeks now, and my family has started to complain about coughing and sneezing more often than usual. Should I consider hiring an air quality professional to test the indoor air here in Dubai, or could it be something simple like changing the filter?

Absolutely, it's wise to consider getting your indoor air quality tested. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, we often experience extreme weather conditions like dust storms which can indeed affect our home environments, causing an increase in airborne particles and pollutants.

The situation you're describing—dust smell lingering after a storm and family members complaining of coughing and sneezing—is quite common, but it's not something to take lightly. In Dubai and the UAE, there are specific regulations that govern indoor air quality (IAQ) which are part of building codes and health standards. For instance, the UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment has set guidelines for IAQ in public buildings; though they may be less stringent for residential properties, it's still important to maintain a healthy environment at home.

Given your symptoms and the persistent dust smell, I would recommend getting an air quality test done by a professional. Not only does this help identify what might be causing these issues, but also ensures that any necessary steps are taken to improve the situation before it worsens or leads to more serious health concerns for you and your family.

Now, regarding the simple solution of changing filters—this could definitely help! But if the dust smell is still present after replacing your air filter, it might indicate a deeper issue. For instance, large amounts of dust in your home can sometimes be due to leaks or poor sealing around windows and doors allowing outdoor pollutants inside. A professional inspection can also help identify such issues.

If you decide to go this route, Saniservice is a reputable company that offers air quality testing services here in Dubai. You can contact them by calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com for more information on their services and how they can assist you.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for your health, especially during times when dust storms are common. So, it’s better to take proactive steps now rather than waiting until the problem becomes worse.
