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.

Is duct dust causing my kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy sandstorms we had last month, I noticed a lot of dust accumulating in our ducts. The AC vents are clogged, and it’s making a strange whistling sound when they’re on. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately, and I’m worried it might be due to poor air quality from all this dust getting circulated. Should I consider professional duct cleaning, or could there be another cause for their coughs?

Duct dust can indeed play a significant role in the discomfort and health issues your kids might be experiencing. The recent sandstorms have certainly contributed to a build-up of particulates within your HVAC system, which could be affecting indoor air quality.

In the UAE, specifically Dubai, duct cleaning is governed by local building codes and standards that emphasize maintaining good indoor environmental quality (IEQ). While dust accumulation can lead to reduced airflow and strange noises from your AC vents, it's also important to consider other factors like allergens and mold growth, especially in a climate as variable as ours.

Dust particles, including fine sand and pollen, can carry pathogens and irritants that might trigger respiratory issues in children. This is not only a concern for health but could also impact the efficiency of your air conditioning system. If you notice coughing or other symptoms worsening after sandstorms, it's wise to have your ducts inspected by professionals.

A professional inspection can help identify any hidden problems and ensure that your HVAC system is functioning at its best. At Saniservice, we recommend a thorough cleaning every 2-3 years in the UAE, but if you've experienced recent storms or are noticing significant changes in air quality, it's advisable to schedule an inspection sooner.

Remember, maintaining clean ducts can significantly improve indoor air quality and reduce allergens. Plus, regular maintenance helps keep your AC system running smoothly, saving energy and reducing costs over time.

If you're concerned about the health of your family or want to ensure your home's HVAC system is in top condition, give us a call at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. We'd be happy to help!

So yeah, those coughs could well be due to the dust and it’s best to get your system checked out pronto!
