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 I clean ducts after dust storms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I noticed a lot of dust settling on all the surfaces in my living room. The AC unit in the bedroom also seems to be working harder than usual, making more noise. Given that we've lived here for two years and this is the first time I'm concerned about air quality, should I consider professional duct cleaning? What can I expect in terms of cost and the process?

Absolutely, cleaning ducts after dust storms is highly recommended. In the UAE, especially during the dust season, it's crucial to maintain good indoor air quality as the high winds and sandstorms can deposit a significant amount of particulate matter inside your home’s HVAC system.

In Dubai specifically, you're facing an environment where such storms are common occurrences. The fine particles from these storms can easily bypass filters and accumulate within the ductwork, affecting both the efficiency of your AC unit and the overall air quality in your home. This is what you may be experiencing with your bedroom AC working harder and making more noise.

Professional duct cleaning services like ours at Saniservice are equipped to handle such scenarios. We recommend a thorough inspection first as per UAE regulations, to ensure that no harmful contaminants have found their way into the system. This can help us tailor our service to meet your specific needs.

The process involves using specialized tools and techniques to clean the ducts from the inside out, ensuring that all surfaces are free of dust, dirt, and other debris. It’s a meticulous job but one that will significantly improve both the performance and longevity of your AC unit.

Typically, costs can vary depending on the size of your home and the extent of the cleaning required. For a standard 3-bedroom apartment like yours, you might be looking at AED 500 to AED 1,000 for the service. However, we offer competitive rates and flexible payment plans.

Given that this is the first time you're noticing these issues after living in your home for two years, it’s a good idea to address them now. Poor indoor air quality can lead to health concerns over time, so regular maintenance like duct cleaning should be considered a part of your routine care.

If you decide to go ahead with the service, please don't hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS or email us at hello@saniservice.com for more information or to schedule an appointment. Remember, keeping your home’s air clean is key to maintaining a healthy living environment, especially during dust storms.

Hope this helps and happy cleaning!
