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 old ductwork causing our home's poor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a persistent cough and congestion in my chest when I clean out the ducts in my bedroom. The smell coming from there is so strong and unpleasant that it triggers sneezing fits even after I finish cleaning. My kids have been complaining of similar symptoms too. Could this be due to old dust and mold build-up in the ductwork? What should I do to ensure better air quality in our home?

Absolutely, old ductwork can very well be the culprit behind your home's poor air quality. In dubai and the uae, we often face issues like dust storms which can indeed lead to a significant accumulation of dirt, dust, and even mold over time in the ducts. This build-up not only affects indoor air quality but can also cause health problems for you and your family.

When you clean out the ducts yourself, it's likely that old dust and mold are being disturbed and released into the air. The strong odor you're noticing might be due to these particles or possibly moisture in the system leading to further mold growth. This is especially concerning as kids can be more sensitive to such irritants.

To ensure better air quality in your home, I would highly recommend a professional inspection. Here in Dubai and the UAE, we have specific regulations that must be followed for indoor environmental quality checks and remediation. A certified professional can assess the condition of your ductwork, identify any issues like mold or structural problems, and provide a comprehensive plan to clean and maintain it properly.

When calling Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for an inspection, be sure to mention that you've experienced symptoms such as coughing, congestion, and sneezing fits. They can also provide advice on air purifiers or filters that might help manage the situation until thorough duct cleaning is done.

Remember, maintaining clean and healthy indoor air is crucial especially after dust storms. Regular inspections and professional cleaning can prevent these issues from becoming serious health hazards for you and your family.
