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 ductwork after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, my family has been complaining of persistent coughs and runny noses. The most concerning is that my 3-year-old son keeps rubbing his eyes and nose, which makes me think it might be something in our ductwork causing these issues. Given how long we’ve lived here, should I consider having the ducts cleaned?

Absolutely! After the heavy dust storm we had last week, it's really important to consider having your ductwork cleaned. Dust storms can introduce a lot of allergens and contaminants into your indoor environment, which could indeed be causing those persistent coughs, runny noses, and eye rubbing in your 3-year-old.

In Dubai/UAE, the dust storms are pretty common, especially during certain times of the year. The Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) does have guidelines for maintaining good indoor air quality, but given that you're experiencing these symptoms, it might be wise to call a professional to inspect your ductwork.

Dust in the HVAC system can accumulate over time and potentially release allergens and irritants back into your home’s air when the system runs. This could exacerbate existing conditions or trigger new ones for family members like your child who seems sensitive. A thorough cleaning would remove these irritants, helping to improve indoor air quality.

I'd recommend reaching out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com. They are experts in this area and can provide a professional inspection and cleaning service that meets the specific needs of your home, especially considering the recent dust storm.

In the meantime, try to keep your windows closed to prevent more dust from entering your home. Using HEPA filters on your air purifiers could also help trap smaller particles that might make their way into your HVAC system during the cleaning process.

Remember, good indoor air quality is crucial for everyone's health and well-being, especially in a place like Dubai where weather conditions can be quite challenging at times. Taking proactive steps now can really make a difference!

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you have any concerns or need further assistance!
