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 I insist on duct cleaning due to odor?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent odor coming from the vents in my living room. My landlord mentioned that they are responsible for duct cleaning during their annual maintenance, but it’s been two years since they last did it. The AC filters are fairly clean, so I'm wondering if it's time for a professional to come and check the ducts. Should I bring this up with my landlord or is it something I should suggest?

Hey there,

It's understandable that you'd be concerned about the odour coming from your vents, especially since it’s persisted even after cleaning the AC filters. In Dubai and the UAE, maintaining a clean indoor environment is crucial given the climate and the use of air conditioning systems year-round.

Given the situation, it would indeed be wise to bring up this concern with your landlord. The odour could indicate a more serious issue such as mold growth within the ductwork or issues with the HVAC system. In fact, there's a UAE-specific law (Federal Law No. 14 of 2008) that mandates regular maintenance and inspection of air conditioning systems to ensure public health and safety.

I'd suggest you schedule an appointment for a professional inspection as soon as possible. This way, any underlying issues can be identified and addressed before they worsen or pose risks to your family's health. You might want to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a thorough assessment.

Remember, regular duct cleaning is recommended every three to five years depending on the use and environment of the system. Given that it’s been two years since your last service, it's definitely time for an inspection. A professional will be able to clean the ducts thoroughly, check for any mold or moisture issues, and ensure your air quality stays at a healthy level.

Taking proactive steps now can save you from bigger problems down the line. Plus, with the recent rains, it’s even more important to have your system checked to avoid potential water damage in the ducts that could lead to serious health concerns like mold growth.

Stay proactive and take care of your indoor air quality!
