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 dusty air from vents be causing coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a few weeks ago, I noticed an unusual haze lingering even after cleaning the whole house. The HVAC unit in my second-floor apartment has been running more than usual too. My kids have been coughing a lot lately, and I’m starting to wonder if it could be from the dusty air circulating through our vents. Have anyone had similar issues or should I consider having the ducts cleaned professionally?

Hey there! Could dusty air from vents be causing coughs? That's a valid concern. In dubai, the recent dust storms can indeed lead to such issues as you described. The lingering haze and increased HVAC operation might indicate that dust has been circulating through your ducts.

In the UAE, especially in Dubai, we often experience extreme weather conditions like those recent dust storms. These events can kick up vast amounts of particulate matter into the air, which if not properly contained, can circulate throughout your home via your HVAC system. This can certainly contribute to respiratory issues, particularly for children and anyone with sensitivities.

Given that you're noticing unusual symptoms in your kids, it might be wise to consider a professional inspection and duct cleaning. In dubai, companies like Saniservice are well-equipped to handle such tasks. They use advanced techniques and equipment to thoroughly clean and sanitize your HVAC system, helping to remove allergens and contaminants that could be causing those coughs.

Remember, in the UAE, there are specific regulations regarding indoor air quality (IAQ) but it's not always easy for homeowners to keep up with these standards on their own. A professional can help ensure that your ductwork is clean and that your system operates efficiently to maintain good IAQ.

If you decide to go ahead with a professional inspection or cleaning, Saniservice offers a range of services. You can contact them by calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email at hello@saniservice.com for more information and scheduling.

In the meantime, try to keep windows closed if the air quality is poor outside and consider using a portable air purifier in rooms where your kids spend most of their time. This can help filter out some of the dust and other particles before they reach your HVAC system.

Taking these steps might alleviate some of the issues you're experiencing while you decide on further action. Stay healthy!
