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 clean ducts after dust storms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a lot of debris and a strange odor lingering in my bedroom. The air vents seem particularly dirty, and I’m not sure if it’s from construction next door or something else. Given that we’ve only lived here for two years, is duct cleaning necessary? How much should I expect to pay, and are there any signs I should look out for before hiring a professional?

Absolutely, cleaning your ducts after dust storms is highly recommended. In dubai and the UAE, we often experience severe sandstorms that can kick up a lot of particulate matter into the air. This stuff gets sucked right into our homes through open windows or doors and then settles in the ventilation system. If you've noticed debris or an odd odor in your bedroom, it’s likely that the dust storm is to blame.

Ducts act like an indoor filter, trapping all sorts of particles including dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, and even construction materials from nearby projects. After such storms, these contaminants can build up significantly, affecting both the air quality in your home and the overall efficiency of your HVAC system.

If you've only been living here for two years, it's prudent to get a professional inspection to check if there are any serious issues that need addressing. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations mandating duct cleaning after dust storms but having clean ducts can enhance indoor air quality which is crucial in our climate.

Expect to pay around 200 to 500 dirhams for a basic duct cleaning service, depending on the size of your system and the company you choose. It’s important to select a reputable contractor who uses EPA-certified methods and equipment. Look out for companies that have good reviews from previous clients and offer guarantees.

Before hiring anyone, consider these signs:
1. Check if they provide pre-and post-cleaning reports.
2. Ensure they use HEPA filters during the process to capture fine particles.
3. Ask about their warranties on workmanship and materials.
4. Inquire about their experience with duct cleaning in your area or similar climate.

If you decide to proceed, don't hesitate to reach out for professional assistance. You can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information or a quote. Remember, maintaining clean and healthy indoor air is key to enjoying the best possible living conditions in dubai.
