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.

Are dusty vents linked to kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense dust storms we had last month, I noticed a thick layer of dust collecting around the vents in my bedroom. My kids have been complaining of persistent coughs and it’s really worrying me if this could be related to the condition of our ductwork. Has anyone else experienced similar issues or know how often the ducts should be cleaned for good air quality?

Dusty vents linked to kids' coughs? Well, it's possible. The dust and particles that accumulate in your ductwork can indeed affect air quality, which might contribute to respiratory issues like persistent coughing in children. In the UAE, especially during dusty seasons or after storms, it’s common for dust to find its way into your home's HVAC system.

In Dubai, indoor air quality is closely monitored due to environmental conditions that may include sand and dust from local weather patterns, as well as pollutants from urban areas. According to the UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MoCCAE), maintaining clean ductwork is crucial for ensuring healthy breathing environments, especially in homes with children or elderly individuals.

Now, you might wonder how often should your ducts be cleaned? The general recommendation is every 3-5 years, but this can vary depending on factors such as the frequency of use and local environmental conditions. Given that your kids have complained about their coughing since the dust storms, it's wise to have a professional inspect your ductwork.

At our company, we've seen cases where dirty ducts were linked to worsening respiratory symptoms among family members. Our team conducts thorough inspections using advanced equipment like thermal imaging cameras and air quality analyzers to identify areas of concern. We recommend regular maintenance plans for clients in Dubai who are particularly sensitive to dust and particulates.

For more information or assistance, don't hesitate to call us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. Our experts can provide a detailed assessment of your ductwork and recommend the best course of action for your home.

Remember, while DIY cleaning might seem tempting, it's often more effective to have professionals handle it, especially in complex systems like those found in modern Dubai homes. We're here to help ensure that you and your family breathe easy and stay healthy.

Hope this helps!
