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.

What can we do to protect kids during sandstorms?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new home on the outskirts of Dubai a couple of weeks ago, we’ve started experiencing frequent sandstorms. The worst one hit us last night around midnight, and it was so thick that my kids could barely see out the living room windows just a few feet away from where they were watching TV. Now their throats are sore and I’m worried about the long-term effects on their health. Is there anything specific we can do to protect them during these sandstorms?

Cleaning sandstorms is indeed a common concern in the UAE and Dubai, especially for those living outside the city center. The recent increase in frequency can be concerning, particularly for your kids' health. Here are some steps you can take to protect them during these events:

Firstly, it's important to understand that there aren't many regulations specifically targeted towards indoor protection from sandstorms in the UAE. However, taking proactive measures at home is key.

One immediate thing you can do is to keep windows and doors tightly closed to reduce the entry of dust and sand into your living spaces. Use heavy curtains or blinds to further minimize this. Also, try to avoid using air conditioning systems as they might pull in more outside air; instead, use fans if needed to circulate indoor air.

Another effective measure is to clean your home thoroughly before a sandstorm hits. Dust and remove any loose particles that can irritate the lungs of children. Use a damp cloth or mop to prevent dust from flying around when you clean.

Investing in an air purifier with HEPA filters can significantly improve indoor air quality by trapping fine particulates, including those from sandstorms. These devices are especially beneficial for respiratory health during such events.

Ensure that your kids stay indoors and limit their exposure as much as possible. Keep them inside until the storm passes if you can. Provide plenty of fluids to help soothe sore throats and keep hydrated. If they do need to go out, ensure they wear masks to filter out particulates.

In cases where symptoms persist or worsen despite these measures, it's wise to seek professional advice from a healthcare provider in Dubai. They may recommend additional steps or treatments.

Lastly, if you're experiencing frequent sandstorms and are concerned about the long-term effects on your family's health, consider calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for an inspection of your home to ensure it's as protected as possible from these elements.

Stay safe during these times!
