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 ducts be spreading storm allergens?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been noticing a persistent cough in both my son and daughter. It’s worrying because their rooms are right next to our air ducts, which seemed clean enough until now. The AC filters were changed just last month but the smell still lingers and they seem to have respiratory issues more frequently than usual. Has anyone else experienced similar problems with indoor air quality after a storm? Could the ducts be the source of these allergens?

Ducts can indeed be the culprit for spreading allergens post-storm. In Dubai and UAE generally, we've seen an increase in respiratory issues following such events due to dust and debris that get trapped within our air conditioning systems. Your situation sounds quite common - many families experience similar issues after storms or sandstorms.

In the UAE, regulations around indoor environmental quality are stringent but it's crucial to maintain cleanliness and inspection of your HVAC system, especially during high-impact weather conditions like the recent dust storm you mentioned. The persistent cough in both your son and daughter could be linked to allergens being circulated through their air ducts.

Given that you've recently changed the AC filters and still experience lingering odors and increased respiratory issues, it's worth having a professional inspection done. Duct cleaning can significantly improve indoor air quality by removing accumulated dust, mold spores, and other irritants. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice specialize in such services, ensuring that your ducts are thoroughly cleaned to prevent further health concerns for you and your family.

Remember, not only do the filters need attention, but the entire system can harbor allergens. Regular maintenance is key to maintaining a healthy indoor environment.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you're concerned about your air quality and would like professional assistance in resolving these issues. A clean and healthy home starts with a well-maintained HVAC system, particularly after events that could introduce additional particulates into the air.

Take action to ensure better breathing air for your family - it’s worth the investment!
