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.

Do dirty AC ducts cause persistent coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm in Dubai, we’ve noticed a persistent cough among our children when they play in the living room. The AC vents seem unusually dirty, with visible dust even inside the house. Is it necessary to clean the ducts professionally, or could this just be seasonal allergies? What signs should I look for that might indicate a serious issue requiring immediate attention?

Do dirty AC ducts cause persistent coughing? That's a very pertinent question considering the recent dust storm in Dubai and how it may have affected indoor air quality. In the UAE, especially during such events as the recent one, airborne particles can find their way into your home through open windows or even through the HVAC system.

Persistent coughing could be due to various factors including seasonal allergies, but if you notice an unusual increase in dust inside the house and the AC vents seem dirtier than usual, it's highly likely that dirty ducts are contributing to your family’s discomfort. Dirty air ducts can harbor a range of irritants like dust mites, mold spores, pet dander, and even tiny particles from the storm. These can all be circulated throughout your home by the AC system, leading to respiratory issues.

In Dubai, it's important to note that regulations surrounding indoor environmental quality are stringent, and maintaining clean ducts is part of ensuring a healthy living environment. According to the UAE's Federal Law No. 12 of 2009 on Public Health, it is mandatory for building owners to maintain their HVAC systems to prevent any health hazards.

If you suspect your air ducts are causing issues like persistent coughing among your children, I strongly recommend having a professional inspection done. These inspections can identify the extent of contamination and help determine if cleaning or additional measures are necessary. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive duct cleaning services that not only remove visible dust but also eliminate harmful microorganisms.

To address immediate concerns, consider checking for these signs:
• Dark streaks on the AC vents
• Visible dust or mold growth inside your home
• A noticeable increase in allergy symptoms among family members

If you notice any of these issues or if someone in your household is experiencing a persistent cough, it might be time to contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional assessment. Remember, clean air is crucial for a healthy home, and regular maintenance can prevent issues before they become serious.

Take care and breathe easy!
