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.

How often should bedroom ducts be cleaned?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange odor lingering in my bedroom, which gets especially strong when the AC is on. The landlord mentioned that they only clean common areas, but what about ducts in individual units? How often should they be cleaned anyway? Given we’ve lived here for two years and just noticed this, should I bring up having them checked with the landlord?

Hey there! Great question about duct cleaning. In the UAE, and specifically Dubai, the frequency of duct cleaning can really depend on various factors including the climate, usage, and maintenance practices.

In general, it's recommended to have your bedroom ducts cleaned every 3-5 years, but this is a guideline. If you're experiencing unusual odors or if your system feels less efficient than usual, it might be time for an inspection. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations dictating how often ductwork should be serviced; however, the Department of Energy Efficiency (DOEE) advises that regular maintenance can significantly improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency.

Given that you've only just noticed a strange odor in your bedroom after two years, it might be worth bringing this to your landlord's attention. They may not clean individual unit ducts as part of their routine, but it could help maintain the overall condition of the building and ensure cleaner air for all tenants.

If you decide to pursue an inspection or cleaning, I'd recommend reaching out to a professional company that specializes in such services. They can thoroughly examine your system and determine if there are any issues that need addressing. A reputable company like Saniservice would be able to provide detailed reports and recommendations based on their assessment.

Remember, proper duct maintenance isn't just about aesthetics; it's crucial for the health of you and your family. Ducts can accumulate dust, mold spores, and other allergens over time, especially in a climate like Dubai’s where humidity levels can fluctuate significantly even after rain events.

So, if you're concerned about that odor or want to ensure your air quality is top-notch, it might be wise to schedule an inspection. You can contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for more information and book a service call.

Hope this helps!
