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 we worry about ducts after coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense dust storm we had last month, I noticed a persistent dry cough in both myself and my spouse whenever we spend time in our bedroom. The windows are sealed tightly, so it’s not like we’re bringing anything in from outside. Given that we’ve lived here for two years without any issues before this, is duct cleaning something urgent we should look into?

Absolutely, coughing after a dust storm can be concerning. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, we have our fair share of weather phenomena that could impact indoor air quality. Given your situation, it would definitely be wise to look into duct cleaning and possibly get an inspection done.

Ducts are like highways for your home's airflow, carrying fresh and recycled air throughout the house. Over time, they can accumulate a lot of dust, allergens, mold spores, and other contaminants that can cause irritation, especially if you or someone in your household has sensitivities to these particles.

In Dubai, the regulations around indoor environmental quality are stringent, focusing on maintaining healthy living conditions for residents. The UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) also provides guidelines and standards that align with global best practices for HVAC systems maintenance.

Considering the recent dust storm, it’s not out of the question that your ducts could have been impacted. Persistent coughing in both you and your spouse is a strong indicator that something might be amiss within your home's air system. Given how long you've lived there without issues before, this sudden change should prompt action.

I'd recommend reaching out to a professional inspection company like ours at Saniservice. We can provide an accurate assessment of the condition of your ducts and HVAC systems. Our team will use advanced tools to identify any hidden problems that might be causing your coughing. If necessary, we'll then recommend cleaning or other remedial actions.

Please note that regular maintenance is key in ensuring good indoor air quality. In Dubai, it’s generally recommended to have your HVAC system inspected and cleaned every 1-2 years depending on usage and local conditions like the recent dust storm.

So if you're experiencing persistent coughing after such events, do not hesitate. Call us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation today. Your comfort and health are our top priority!
