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.

Should I worry about duct dust affecting kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a thick layer of dust on the vents in my bedroom. My kids have been complaining of itchy eyes and throat irritation since then, and I’m really worried it might be causing their persistent coughs. The duct system hasn’t been cleaned in at least five years. Should I be concerned about this, and what steps should I take?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about duct dust affecting your kids. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we often experience extreme weather conditions like sand and dust storms that can deposit significant amounts of particulate matter into our homes. Given that your vents are now covered in a thick layer of dust and your children have been complaining of itchy eyes and throat irritation since then, this could indeed be related to the build-up in your duct system.

The ducts in your home act like an invisible air filter; they gather all kinds of debris including dust, pollen, mold spores, and even harmful bacteria. With your kids showing symptoms that coincide with the recent storm, it's plausible that these irritants are contributing to their discomfort. However, to get a full picture, I'd recommend a professional inspection by someone like us at Saniservice. We can assess the condition of your ducts and determine if they need cleaning or any other form of remediation.

In Dubai, we follow specific guidelines for indoor air quality which include regular maintenance of HVAC systems. The UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) also has regulations regarding building maintenance that should be adhered to ensure a safe living environment. Regular duct cleaning can significantly improve the overall indoor air quality, helping alleviate symptoms like coughing and eye irritation.

Given your situation, it's crucial to act promptly. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an appointment as soon as possible. Our team will thoroughly clean your ducts, ensuring they are free from the dust that could be causing your children’s discomfort. We can also provide you with tips on maintaining good air quality in your home moving forward.

Remember, while the immediate concern is the ducts, it's a good idea to keep your HVAC system and entire living space clean by using HEPA filters, keeping windows closed during high dust periods, and perhaps even running an air purifier. These measures can help prevent future issues.

Take care of your family’s health!
