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.

Could dust storm cause duct issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a strange musty smell lingering in our living room. The vents were covered with an unhealthy layer of dust, and my kids have been coughing more than usual lately. Could this be related to the ducts? What should I do about it?

Could dust storm cause duct issues?

Aye, a heavy dust storm can indeed lead to serious concerns regarding your indoor air quality. In the UAE and Dubai specifically, we've seen similar scenarios post such events. The dusty conditions can introduce a myriad of particulates into your home's ventilation system, which if not addressed, can certainly affect the overall environment within your living space.

First off, let me highlight that in the UAE, adherence to specific building codes and standards is paramount. For instance, the Dubai Municipality has stringent guidelines for air quality and HVAC systems. Dust storms can breach these standards by introducing contaminants into your ductwork, which might not be easily detectable without a thorough inspection.

The musty smell you're noticing could indeed be linked to the dust storm. This odor often indicates the presence of organic matter that's decomposing, possibly due to moisture retained in the ventilation system. Additionally, your kids coughing more than usual is a red flag. Asthma and allergy triggers are common culprits after such storms.

Given these circumstances, it would be prudent to call in professionals for a thorough inspection. At Saniservice, we offer expert duct cleaning services that not only address immediate concerns but also ensure long-term air quality improvements. Our team can assess the extent of damage from the storm and provide tailored solutions based on your home's specific needs.

Don't hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation. Early intervention is key in maintaining healthy indoor air quality, especially after events like dust storms.
