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.

Is duct mold causing our kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a strange smell coming from our bedroom ducts. The kids have been having persistent coughs, and I’m really worried it might be due to mold or dust accumulating in the ductwork. We’ve lived here for two years, and just this week, my husband mentioned seeing some discoloration on one of the grills. Could this be related? Should we consider cleaning our ducts soon?

Duct mold could indeed be causing your kids' coughs. It's quite common for damp conditions to encourage the growth of mold and mildew, especially after heavy rains like those we've experienced recently here in Dubai/UAE. Mold spores can easily spread through air ducts and affect indoor air quality, leading to respiratory issues in children and adults alike.

Given your concerns about seeing discoloration on one of the grills and noticing a strange smell from the bedroom ducts, it's prudent to have an inspection done by a professional. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations for duct cleaning but ensuring that such services are performed by certified technicians is crucial. They can help identify if mold is present and determine how extensive any remediation efforts need to be.

It’s important to act now rather than waiting, especially during the cooler months when windows tend to stay closed more often. This can trap moisture inside and promote mold growth. If a professional inspection confirms mold or excessive dust accumulation in your ducts, they will recommend a cleaning schedule that is right for your home's needs.

Remember, regular maintenance of your HVAC system, including ductwork, can prevent issues like this from arising. Make sure to have the filters changed every three months and check them more often if you notice any unusual smells or changes in air quality.

If you're unsure about who to call, I'd recommend reaching out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. They offer reliable duct cleaning services that can help ensure your family's health is protected against the potential threats of mold and dust.
