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 old ducts cause our sneezing?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new apartment a year ago, my family has been experiencing sneezing fits and itchy eyes. The worst seems to happen when the air conditioning is on full blast. My concern is that this could be due to old dust and mold in the ducts, especially since the HVAC system was installed shortly after we moved in. Given our small two-bedroom apartment where my children spend a lot of time, I’m really worried about their health. Has anyone cleaned the ducts in your home? What steps did you take and how long did it take to notice an improvement?

Could old ducts cause our sneezing?

Hello there! It's quite possible that the symptoms you're experiencing could be linked to your home's HVAC system. In the UAE, especially during the scorching summers and dry winters, the air conditioning is a crucial part of daily life. However, if not properly maintained, it can harbor dust, mold, and other allergens which might cause respiratory issues like sneezing and itchy eyes.

In my experience, many clients in Dubai have reported similar symptoms after moving into new apartments with just installed HVAC systems. The installation period is often rushed due to the high demand for air conditioning units during the summer months. This can sometimes result in inadequate duct cleaning or maintenance checks which could lead to accumulation of dust and mold over time.

In your situation, it's highly recommended that you get a professional inspection done. In Dubai, regulations from the Department of Municipalities and Urban Planning (DM&UP) require periodic checks on air conditioning systems for both commercial and residential properties. However, since this is a new apartment, it might be wise to have a thorough inspection regardless.

A professional team would inspect your ducts for signs of mold, dust accumulation, and other potential health hazards. If issues are found, they will clean the system thoroughly using specialized equipment like negative air pressure vacuums which can reach deep into the ductwork. This process may take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours depending on the size of the apartment and extent of cleaning required.

After the ducts have been cleaned, it's important to ensure your HVAC system is functioning correctly. Regular maintenance such as filter changes every month during peak usage seasons (like summer) can help keep the air clean and prevent future issues.

Some clients report improvements within a week or two after thorough duct cleaning. However, everyone reacts differently so you might not see immediate results.

If you're considering this step, I'd recommend reaching out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for an appointment or getting in touch via email at hello@saniservice.com. They have extensive experience dealing with similar issues and can provide a personalized service tailored to your needs.

Remember, keeping the air you breathe clean is crucial for overall health, especially for children who spend more time indoors. Don't hesitate to act on this concern; it could significantly improve the quality of life in your home!

Take care!
