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.

Could ductwork cause our kids' coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a strange smell lingering in our living room, especially when the air conditioning was on. The ducts run right above where my children play with their toys, and I’m really worried about it. We’ve lived here for two years, and just recently, my kids have been coughing more than usual. Could this be related to the ductwork? What should I do?

Could ductwork cause our kids' coughing?

Absolutely. Ducts can indeed be a significant source of allergens and irritants that might affect your children's health, particularly their respiratory system. In the UAE, especially during sandstorms like the one you experienced last month, dust and particulates can get trapped in the HVAC systems, leading to poor indoor air quality (IAQ).

In Dubai, we often see a variety of pollutants including dust, pollen, mold spores, and even pet dander circulating through improperly maintained ducts. These particles are then distributed throughout your home with each use of the air conditioning or heating system. If the HVAC filters aren't changed regularly, these contaminants can build up, exacerbating issues like coughing in children.

Given that you've noticed a strange smell when the AC is on and your kids have been coughing more frequently, it's quite possible that the ductwork could be contributing to this problem. The dust storm last month might have introduced significant levels of particulates into your system, which are now circulating freely through your home.

To address this, I strongly recommend getting a professional inspection done by Saniservice who can assess the condition of your ducts and provide specific recommendations for cleaning or remediation. They operate in Dubai and adhere to local regulations ensuring they do not violate any codes while performing their services.

Saniservice's team uses advanced tools to thoroughly clean your ductwork, eliminating allergens and other pollutants. Their experts will also check for any signs of mold growth which could be causing or worsening the coughing issues you've noticed in your kids. Mold can thrive in damp conditions often created by improperly maintained HVAC systems.

If after a thorough inspection, it's confirmed that the ducts are indeed the source of the problem, Saniservice offers reliable solutions including deep cleaning and sealing any leaks to prevent further contamination.

Remember, maintaining good IAQ is crucial for your family’s health. Regular maintenance not only helps with immediate issues like coughing but also prevents future problems. For a free quote or more information on their services, you can call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.

Taking this step could greatly improve the air quality in your home and potentially alleviate some of the symptoms your children are experiencing.
