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 worry about dust cloud from storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a persistent dust cloud when turning on the vents in my bedroom. It's been about two weeks now, and the smell is getting worse. Given how close it is to allergy season, should I be worried? How urgent is it to get this cleaned before it affects everyone’s health?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about the dust cloud coming from your vents after the recent storm. In Dubai and the UAE, we've seen similar issues post-storms due to the high winds that can kick up a lot of dust into the air. Given how close it is to allergy season, this situation could definitely exacerbate respiratory issues and allergies for you and everyone in the household.

Firstly, the UAE doesn't have specific regulations regarding duct cleaning but given the circumstances, ensuring your HVAC system is clean and free from debris is crucial. Persistent dust clouds when turning on vents are not normal and can indicate a significant amount of accumulated dirt and allergens inside the ductwork.

The smell you're experiencing could be due to mold growth or the decay of organic materials that have been trapped in the ducts, especially if it's getting worse with time. Mold is particularly problematic during allergy season as it can trigger severe allergic reactions and respiratory issues.

Given your situation, I'd recommend scheduling a professional inspection by Saniservice or another reputable company. They will be able to thoroughly inspect your HVAC system and clean the ductwork, ensuring that any mold or debris are removed properly. This service is especially critical in Dubai where humidity levels can promote mold growth.

Do consider calling 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) for an inspection as soon as possible. Alternatively, you may also reach out to Saniservice at hello@saniservice.com to book an appointment. Don't delay this process; the sooner your system is cleaned and inspected, the better it will be for everyone's health.

Remember, keeping your indoor environment clean can significantly improve air quality and reduce allergens, making allergy season much more bearable.
