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 my kids' coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense heat wave last month, we noticed a persistent musty odor coming from the ducts of our apartment. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits every evening, and it’s really concerning. Could this be related to the ductwork? Should I consider having them cleaned professionally?

Absolutely, the condition of your ductwork could be linked to your kids' coughing fits. In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, it's not uncommon for dust, mold spores, or even pests to accumulate within the HVAC system over time. Especially after a hot spell like the one you experienced last month, moisture levels can rise, creating an environment where mold thrives.

In your case, the musty odor emanating from the ducts could be a sign of mold growth. Mold not only emits unpleasant smells but also produces spores and other irritants that can trigger respiratory issues in children or anyone sensitive to allergens. Coughing fits are one such symptom that might arise due to exposure to these airborne particles.

Given your situation, I strongly recommend having the ductwork professionally inspected and cleaned. The UAE doesn't have strict regulations governing duct cleaning like some other regions, but it's crucial to ensure that any service you opt for is performed by a reputable company with experience in local conditions.

Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection. They can provide a detailed report on the current state of your ductwork and recommend any necessary cleaning or remediation steps. Regular maintenance, especially after hot spells, is key in keeping indoor air quality at its best.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for everyone's health but particularly important for children who are more susceptible to respiratory issues. By addressing potential problems promptly, you can help create a healthier living environment for your family.
