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 kids' cold symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a strange damp smell lingering in the hallway near our living room. My kids have been complaining of persistent coughs and runny noses, and it's really worrying me if there’s mold or something from the ductwork causing these symptoms. Has anyone here experienced similar issues and had their ducts cleaned?

Could ductwork cause kids' cold symptoms?

Absolutely. The air circulation system, especially the ducts, can indeed be a breeding ground for mold and other microorganisms that could contribute to your child's respiratory issues. In Dubai/UAE, after heavy rains like what we had last month, it’s not uncommon for such moisture events to lead to damp conditions in homes which can foster the growth of mold.

The smell you've noticed and the coughs and runny noses your kids have been experiencing could indeed be linked to issues within the ductwork. Mold spores and other allergens can circulate through your home's air conditioning system, leading to allergic reactions or respiratory irritations especially in children whose immune systems are still developing.

In Dubai, it’s important to stay informed about local regulations regarding indoor air quality. The Department of Community Development (DCD) emphasizes the importance of maintaining a clean and healthy environment within buildings. Regular maintenance and cleaning of your HVAC system could help mitigate these issues.

If you suspect mold in your ducts or are worried about the health impacts on your family, I highly recommend calling Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a professional inspection and remediation. They can assess the situation properly and provide solutions to ensure your home’s air quality is up to par.

Remember, keeping your ducts clean and free from moisture or mold is crucial for maintaining good indoor air quality in Dubai. Regular cleaning and inspections can prevent future issues and keep everyone healthy.
