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 cleaning ducts urgent due to coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a persistent dry cough in both my son and myself whenever we spend time in our living room. The air feels thick and stale, especially when the AC is on. Given that we’ve lived here for two years and never had any issues before, how urgent is it to clean the ducts?

Cleaning the ducts might indeed be a good idea. The persistent coughing and stale air could hint at dust or allergens getting circulated by your AC system. In Dubai/UAE, we do have environmental regulations that suggest regular maintenance for HVAC systems to ensure indoor air quality.

Firstly, it's crucial to understand that in the UAE, especially during sand storms like the one you mentioned, it can introduce a lot of particulates into your home’s air. These particles, including dust and possibly mold spores, could be what is causing the coughing.

Given that this issue has only just begun after two years, it might not necessarily be urgent but considering the recent weather conditions, it's definitely something to look into. I would recommend having a professional inspection done first though to confirm if your ducts are indeed the cause of these symptoms.

During inspections, they can check for accumulations of dust, mold, or other allergens in your ductwork and filter system. If they find issues, cleaning might be necessary to improve air quality. In Dubai, it's common practice for HVAC systems to get a thorough cleaning every 1-2 years depending on usage and local conditions.

If you do decide to go ahead with duct cleaning, make sure the service provider follows best practices and uses appropriate equipment like vacuuming systems that capture fine particles. This will help ensure your air quality is improved after the process.

In case of any doubt or if symptoms persist despite cleaning, consulting a healthcare professional would be wise as well.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality in Dubai can significantly impact your health and comfort. So it’s always better to act on signs like those you're experiencing rather than waiting for more serious issues to arise.
