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 this ductwork issue harmful to my kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a few weeks ago, I noticed an unusual smell coming from the ducts leading to my bedroom. The AC in that room seems to be working overtime as well, but still not effectively cooling down the space. My kids have been complaining of itchy eyes and coughing, which is concerning considering their age. How urgent is this issue and what should I do first?

Absolutely, it's crucial to address the ductwork issue promptly. The symptoms your kids are experiencing like itchy eyes and coughing can be linked to poor indoor air quality which is often caused by dust, mold spores, and other allergens that can accumulate in the HVAC system. This situation isn't just uncomfortable; it could pose serious health risks, especially for children.

In the UAE, particularly Dubai, our climate and recent weather conditions such as the dust storms you've experienced can exacerbate these issues. The high concentration of dust particles can clog your ducts leading to decreased airflow and potentially allowing mold to grow if moisture levels are not properly managed.

Firstly, it's imperative that you call in a professional for an inspection. Here at Saniservice, we recommend you contact us on 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. Our technicians will be able to assess the severity of the issue and provide necessary remediation services.

In the meantime, there are steps you can take to improve air quality in your home:
• Ensure all vents and dampers are clean and unobstructed.
• Increase ventilation by opening windows when weather permits.
• Use a portable air purifier with a HEPA filter which can help remove allergens from the air.
• Check for any signs of water damage or leaks that could promote mold growth.

Remember, the longer you wait to address this issue, the worse it might get. Early intervention is key to preventing long-term health issues and costly repairs down the line. Your kids' wellbeing should be your top priority and we're here to help!

Let's keep the air clean and safe for everyone in Dubai!
