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 we clean our ducts after the dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I’ve noticed a persistent cough and sneezing whenever I enter our living room. The air feels thick and stale, even though we have the AC running constantly. My kids have been complaining of itchy eyes and runny noses as well. Has anyone else experienced similar issues or should we consider having our ducts cleaned?

Absolutely, after the recent dust storm, it's prudent to consider having your ducts cleaned. In Dubai and the UAE, we often experience such events which can kick up a lot of particulates that get trapped within our air conditioning systems. This can indeed lead to stuffy, stale air and exacerbate respiratory issues.

In the UAE, there are no specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning, but it's highly recommended, especially after environmental disturbances like dust storms. The accumulation of dust, pollen, mold spores, and other allergens in your ductwork can significantly impact indoor air quality (IAQ). This is particularly concerning for those with allergies or asthma.

The thick and stale feeling you're experiencing, along with the coughing and sneezing, could be a result of these irritants circulating through your home. Your kids' symptoms like itchy eyes and runny noses might also be linked to this issue. It's not uncommon to see similar issues after such storms in our region.

To address this, I would recommend calling for a professional inspection first. This will help determine the extent of the contamination and ensure that any necessary cleaning is done properly. You can reach out to us at 800-MOLDS or email us at hello@saniservice.com. Our team has extensive experience in Dubai's climate conditions and can provide tailored solutions.

Professional duct cleaning involves several steps, including vacuuming the interior of the ducts, inspecting for any mold growth, and addressing any structural issues that might be allowing debris to accumulate. Post-cleaning, it’s important to ensure your system is functioning correctly to maintain good IAQ moving forward.

Remember, maintaining a healthy indoor environment is crucial, especially during our windy seasons. If you decide against professional cleaning or if the storm was mild, at least consider regular maintenance every 2-3 years or after significant weather events to keep your home's air clean and breathable.

Stay proactive about your family’s health and comfort by addressing these issues head-on.
