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 do I deal with duct cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last week, I noticed a lot of debris had settled on our ceiling fan in the living room. My kids have been complaining about itchy eyes and coughing more than usual since then. The HVAC filters seem clean, but I’m worried there might be dust or allergens circulating from the ducts. Have any of you experienced similar issues after storms and had your ducts cleaned?

Hey there,

Duct cleaning is pretty important to keep the air quality of your home sweet and healthy. After that heavy dust storm, it sounds like you might be dealing with some pesky allergens floating around. In Dubai/UAE, we've definitely seen an uptick in calls after such storms due to dust settling on everything from ceiling fans to HVAC systems.

First off, if you're noticing issues like your kids having itchy eyes and coughing more than usual, it's a good sign that it might be time for a professional inspection. The UAE doesn't have strict regulations on duct cleaning but it is recommended to follow best practices to ensure your air quality stays at its peak.

Starting off with some DIY steps can help you assess the situation:

1. Inspect the filters: Make sure they are clean and dust-free. If they're dirty, change them and then schedule a professional inspection. In Dubai, HVAC filters should be checked every 3-6 months depending on your local conditions.

2. Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to clean out any visible debris from the registers or grilles. This can help reduce immediate allergens but won't clean deep within the ducts.

3. Consider running your air conditioner for about 15 minutes daily to circulate and filter the air, which might help clear some of the dust that's settled in the system.

But for a thorough cleaning, professional intervention is recommended. Companies like ours here in Dubai can use specialized equipment such as brushes and vacuums to clean out the ducts effectively. The process can take several hours depending on the size of your home and the condition of the ductwork.

When looking for a service provider, ensure they have proper certifications and experience in handling HVAC systems. You might want to ask about their procedures, including how they handle debris after cleaning so it doesn't recirculate back into your living space.

Lastly, after the clean, it's wise to schedule regular maintenance every year or as advised by professionals here in Dubai. This helps keep your air quality at its best and reduces the chances of allergens building up again.

If you're ready for an inspection or cleaning, don't hesitate to give us a call at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. We'll be happy to help!

Hope this helps!
