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.

Can I clean kitchen exhaust duct debris myself?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a couple of weeks ago, I noticed a lot of debris in our kitchen exhaust duct. It’s quite visible if you look closely. Given that we’re not planning on moving anytime soon, can anyone recommend whether it's something I could clean myself or if it would be better to hire professionals?

Cleaning kitchen exhaust ducts can indeed be a task that homeowners consider doing themselves. However, given the specifics of your location and the recent dust storm you experienced, it's important to weigh the pros and cons before deciding on self-service.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, regulations surrounding indoor air quality are quite strict. While there isn't specific legislation mandating regular duct cleaning, the health and safety of residents are a priority. The presence of visible debris after a dust storm could indicate that your kitchen exhaust system hasn’t been cleaned for some time. This could potentially lead to poor air circulation and even contribute to mold growth in severe cases.

If you decide to clean it yourself, ensure you take appropriate precautions:
1. Wear suitable protective gear such as gloves, goggles, and a mask.
2. Disconnect the duct from your range hood or any other appliance it’s attached to.
3. Use a vacuum cleaner with an extendable hose for better reach into tight spaces.
4. Clean the exterior of the ducts thoroughly too, as debris might also accumulate there.

However, given that you're not planning on moving anytime soon and considering the potential risks associated with unclean ductwork, it may be wiser to call in professionals. They have the necessary tools and expertise to ensure a thorough cleaning without damaging your system. Moreover, regular professional inspections can help maintain optimal indoor air quality, which is crucial especially after weather events like dust storms.

If you need assistance or want to discuss this further, feel free to contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.

Taking care of this now could prevent bigger issues down the line.
