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 dust from AC vents triggering allergies?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be circulating some kind of dust that triggers my allergies, especially during the summer months when it’s running almost non-stop. The filter is clean, but there's still a noticeable amount of dust settling on surfaces around the vents. Have anyone had similar issues and what did you do to resolve it?

Is dust from AC vents triggering allergies? Yes, it can definitely be a cause. In the UAE, especially during summer, humidity levels are often low but air conditioning systems can sometimes exacerbate this by circulating dry indoor air which can lead to an increase in allergens like dust mites and pollen.

In Dubai, we've seen several cases where clients report allergy symptoms when AC is on non-stop. The dust settling around the vents could be a combination of external pollutants and internal accumulations that get stirred up by the airflow.

Firstly, ensure your air conditioner filter is clean but also consider the overall system. Sometimes, just cleaning filters isn’t enough as there can be deeper issues like dirt buildup in ducts or even mold growth which can trigger severe allergies.

For a more thorough solution, I'd recommend a professional inspection by an environmental testing and remediation company such as ours at Saniservice. We offer detailed assessments to identify the source of allergens and provide customized solutions tailored for Dubai's climate and housing conditions.

In the meantime, here are some steps you can take:
• Regularly clean all parts of your AC system including filters, fans, and ducts.
• Use a HEPA filter in conjunction with your current system to trap smaller particles.
• Consider increasing the humidity levels slightly in your home (not too much though) as this can inhibit dust mites' growth.
• Keep windows closed during high pollen seasons and use an air purifier.
• Dust frequently around vents but avoid disturbing them too much which could release trapped allergens.

Remember, if symptoms persist or worsen despite these measures, it’s crucial to seek professional advice. You can contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation and inspection.

Taking care of indoor air quality is key in Dubai's hot, dry climate where AC use is prevalent. Don't let allergies ruin your summer!
