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 is causing the white powder indoors?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a fine white powder accumulating on my windowsills and furniture in the living room. It’s really affecting the air quality inside the house, especially noticeable when we try to open the windows. The dust seems to be coming from outside but is settling heavily even with the doors closed. What could this be due to, and how can I address it?

The white powder you're noticing could be due to construction dust. In Dubai and the UAE, many construction projects are underway, especially during the cooler months like last month's rainy spell. The fine white substance that has settled on your windowsills and furniture may have come from nearby building sites where sand, cement, or other materials were disturbed by rain or wind.

In the UAE, there is no specific regulation for dust control in residential areas, but it is recommended to adhere to environmental best practices. Construction dust can pose serious indoor air quality issues, particularly in a confined space like your living room. Dust particles can contain harmful substances such as silica, which may irritate the respiratory system and cause health concerns.

To address this issue effectively:

1. Seal Off Affected Areas: Close doors and windows to minimize dust entry when not using them. Use air purifiers if necessary.
2. Regular Cleaning: Regularly clean your furniture, windowsills, and floors to remove the settled dust. This can help reduce the amount of airborne particles in your home.
3. Use HEPA Filters: High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters are effective at trapping fine particles like those from construction dust. Consider installing these in key areas or using portable units.

If the problem persists despite your efforts, it might be time to call for a professional inspection. Companies such as Saniservice offer mold and indoor air quality inspections that can help identify the source of the issue and recommend remediation strategies specific to Dubai's conditions. Their contact details are 800-MOLDS or you can email hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for your health and comfort. Don't hesitate to seek professional advice if you're concerned about the dust levels in your home.
