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 poor duct air quality causing my children's cough?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a persistent cough in both of my children, especially when they play in the living room near the vents. The carpet in that area also looks unusually dirty despite regular cleaning. Could this be due to poor air quality from the ducts? What should I do about it?

Is poor duct air quality causing your children's cough? It is very possible. After the heavy dust storm last month, it would make sense that dust and other particles might have entered your HVAC system and circulated throughout your home. This could certainly contribute to the persistent cough in your kids.

In Dubai/UAE, regulations regarding indoor air quality aren't as strict as some other regions but maintaining clean and healthy air is crucial for residents' health, especially with a young family. The dust storm you mentioned likely brought in an abundance of particulate matter that might not have been properly filtered out by your duct system.

To address this issue, it's highly recommended to seek professional inspection. Duct cleaning services are available locally and can help identify if the problem is indeed due to clogged or dirty ducts. According to Saniservice, they offer comprehensive duct cleaning which includes a thorough examination of your HVAC system for any blockages or contaminants.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on their services and to schedule an inspection. They will assess the condition of your ductwork, identify any issues such as dust accumulation or mold growth, and provide a report with recommendations.

In addition to professional cleaning, there are some steps you can take yourself:
1. Regularly change your HVAC filters.
2. Use HEPA filters which can capture finer particles that might be causing irritation.
3. Increase the frequency of room air purifiers in high-traffic areas like where your kids play.
4. Vacuum carpets and rugs more frequently, especially if they are in a storm-prone area.

Remember, addressing this issue not only helps with your children's health but also improves overall indoor air quality, making your home environment safer and more comfortable for everyone.
