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.

Why is sand settling despite frequent cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm that hit Dubai, I’ve noticed a layer of fine sand settling on every surface in my ground-floor apartment, even behind the couch where I rarely reach. It’s been there for days now, no matter how often I clean. The AC seems to suck it in, making the air feel heavier and slightly gritty. Has anyone else experienced similar issues or have any tips on preventing this from happening again?

Why is sand settling despite frequent cleaning?

It's indeed unusual to see fine sand settle everywhere, even behind the couch. In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, dust storms can be quite intense and may leave a lasting impact on indoor environments, especially if your apartment is on ground level where the effects are more pronounced.

In the UAE, dust storm events are not uncommon during specific seasons. The recent sandstorm you experienced likely brought in large amounts of fine particulate matter that gets easily stirred up by air currents, including those from air conditioning units. This is why even with regular cleaning, you may find a layer of sand on surfaces days after the storm.

Air conditioning systems can indeed suck in these particles, making the air feel gritty and heavier. To manage this issue, it's advisable to ensure your AC filters are regularly cleaned or replaced. A clogged filter might not be enough to trap all the fine dust, allowing it to circulate through the system.

Here are a few tips that could help:

1. Increase the frequency of cleaning your air conditioning filters. Change them every 2-3 weeks during peak dust storm seasons.
2. Use HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters in your AC units if they don’t already have them. These can trap much finer particles than standard filters.
3. Consider installing a dehumidifier to reduce moisture that might attract and hold dust, making it easier to clean up.
4. Seal any gaps or cracks around windows and doors with weather-stripping or caulking to prevent sand from entering your apartment.

For more serious cases or if the issue persists despite these measures, it would be wise to contact a professional for an inspection. They can provide specific recommendations tailored to your building’s condition and the severity of the dust problem.

If you need assistance, feel free to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. Our team is here to help ensure that your indoor environment stays as clean and healthy as possible.

Remember, regular maintenance and proactive measures can significantly reduce the impact of dust storms on your living space.
