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 we worry about sandstorm residue?« Back to Previous Page

After the sandstorm we had last week, I noticed a strange gritty feeling on the windowsills of our third-floor apartment. It's so unusual because it’s not something that usually happens after storms in this area. My kids have been complaining about scratchy throats, and I’m worried it might be from all the fine sand getting inside. Is there anything specific we can do to prevent this or clean up after a sandstorm without causing more damage?

Absolutely, the sandstorm residue can be quite concerning. In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, sandstorms are a seasonal occurrence that can bring fine particles into your home, potentially causing respiratory issues especially for kids and those with allergies.

Firstly, i'd like to stress that if you or any family member is experiencing severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing, persistent coughing, or irritated eyes, it's crucial to seek medical advice. For the general discomfort and concern about sand particles in your home, here are a few steps we recommend:

1. Air Purification: Invest in an air purifier with HEPA filters if you haven't got one already. This will help to filter out fine particulate matter from the air inside your home.

2. Cleaning Routine: After a sandstorm, it's vital to clean thoroughly. Start by opening windows for a short period if weather permits. Then use a damp cloth or microfiber duster to wipe surfaces like window sills and furniture. For carpets and rugs, consider vacuuming with a cleaner that can capture fine particles.

3. Humidity Control: High humidity can exacerbate issues with sand residue sticking around longer. Using dehumidifiers can help manage this. Ensure your air conditioning unit is cleaned regularly to prevent dust build-up.

4. Professional Inspection: If you notice persistent or unusual levels of dirt, especially in hard-to-reach areas like corners and crevices, it might be time for a professional inspection. Our team here at SanIService can provide detailed assessments and clean up any lingering issues that DIY methods may miss.

5. Preventative Measures: To reduce the impact of sandstorms on your home in future, sealing gaps around windows and doors with weatherstripping or using temporary seals could help minimize entry points for dust particles.

Remember, it's not just about cleaning after a storm; regular maintenance can significantly improve indoor air quality throughout the year. If you're in any doubt or need more advice, do give us a call at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional consultation.

Take care of your home and health during these times!
