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 clean ducts due to old vents and smell?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a strange smell lingering in my bedroom. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what it is, but it’s definitely making me nervous about our little ones sleeping there. The vents in that room are quite old and might be the source of this. Given how long we’ve lived here (2 years), should I seriously consider having the ducts cleaned?

Absolutely, you should consider having your ducts cleaned. Old vents can indeed be a breeding ground for dust and allergens, especially after the heavy dust storms we've experienced. The lingering smell could also suggest that decomposing organic matter is accumulating within the ductwork.

In Dubai/UAE, there are no specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning, but it's highly recommended to maintain good indoor air quality (IAQ). Dust, mold spores, and other allergens can travel through your HVAC system, causing discomfort, especially for children. This could be contributing to that strange smell in your bedroom.

Given the old vents and considering you've lived here for two years, it’s a smart move to get them inspected by professionals. They can identify any hidden issues and clean out accumulated debris and allergens. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive duct cleaning services tailored to local conditions. Our team uses advanced equipment like vacuum trucks and HEPA filters to ensure thorough cleaning.

Regular maintenance of your HVAC system is crucial for the health and comfort of you and your family. Plus, it can help extend the life of your unit by preventing blockages that could otherwise lead to inefficient operation or even damage.

If you decide to go ahead with a professional inspection and cleaning, I'd recommend reaching out to us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com. We can schedule an appointment at your convenience and provide a detailed report on the condition of your ductwork.

Don't let this smell worry you any longer. Taking proactive steps now can ensure that your home remains a safe, healthy environment for everyone.
