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 last week, I noticed a layer of fine gray dust on all the furniture in my living room. The windows were closed tight to keep out the sand, but now that we’re airing things out, it’s really noticeable. My kids have been coughing a lot lately and I’m worried it might be from breathing this stuff in. Has anyone else experienced similar issues with duct cleaning or poor air quality after storms? Should I call a professional to clean the ducts?

Absolutely, cleaning your ducts after dust storms is a smart move. The fine gray dust that you're noticing on your furniture sounds very much like the aftermath of those storms we had last week. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, dust storms can be quite frequent and they often bring with them a hefty load of particulates that end up inside your ductwork.

In our experience here at Saniservice, we've seen a significant increase in calls for duct cleaning following such events. The particles from sandstorms can contain not only sand but also pollen, mold spores, and other allergens which can certainly contribute to respiratory issues like the coughing that you're observing in your kids.

UAE regulations do require regular maintenance of HVAC systems, including periodic duct cleaning. This is especially important given our environment where dust storms are a common occurrence. The Dubai Municipality also recommends checking and maintaining air filters regularly to ensure the best indoor air quality.

Given the symptoms your children have been experiencing, it might be wise to call in a professional for an inspection. Not only can they clean out the ducts, but they can also check if there are any other issues that might be affecting the air quality in your home. At Saniservice, we recommend our clients schedule a thorough inspection and cleaning at least once a year, or more frequently if you've experienced a particularly bad storm.

Remember, just like you close windows to keep out sand during storms, closing vents can help prevent further influx of dust into your system but it doesn’t address what's already inside. A professional will be able to remove the accumulated dust and debris that gets trapped in your ducts over time, ensuring cleaner air throughout your home.

So if you're considering action, give us a call at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. We have experienced technicians who can assess your system and provide the necessary cleaning services to improve your indoor environment.
