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 poor duct cleaning cause our kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent air conditioning maintenance in our apartment, my family has started experiencing strange symptoms. The HVAC vents in the living room have a noticeable layer of dust, and my kids have been coughing more than usual since they came home from school each day. Could this be related to poor duct cleaning? What should I do about it?

Could poor duct cleaning cause our kids' coughs?

Absolutely! Poorly maintained HVAC systems and ductwork can indeed lead to health issues like persistent coughing, especially among children. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it's not uncommon for dust, mold spores, and other allergens to accumulate within the ductwork of air conditioning units. This accumulation can be exacerbated by frequent usage during hot weather, leading to a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi.

In your case, if you've noticed a visible layer of dust on the HVAC vents after recent maintenance, it could mean that the cleaning process was incomplete or not thorough enough. The dusty condition inside the ducts can get pushed into your living room when the system is running, causing an increase in airborne particles which might be irritating to your kids' respiratory systems.

To address this issue properly, I strongly recommend getting a professional inspection and remediation of your HVAC system. Here at Saniservice, we have experienced technicians who are well-versed with UAE-specific regulations such as the Building Control Regulations that ensure the safety and quality of indoor environments in Dubai. They can thoroughly clean your ducts using industrial-grade equipment to remove any contaminants effectively.

Additionally, consider scheduling regular maintenance checks for your air conditioning system every six months or as recommended by the manufacturer. This will help prevent issues like these from arising and keep your family's health top priority.

If you decide to proceed with an inspection, kindly call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information and to schedule a service visit. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, especially during the hot months in Dubai.

Take care of your family's health!
