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 inspect and clean ducts for asthma concerns?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy sandstorms we had last month, I noticed a strange dust cloud every time I opened the kitchen window. It’s really concerning because my son has asthma and this could be causing his coughing fits. The ducts in my apartment seem to be the most likely culprit. Should I call a professional for an inspection and cleaning?

Absolutely, given your concerns about dust and your son’s asthma, it's wise to look into the ductwork of your apartment. In Dubai/UAE, particularly following those sandstorms, it's crucial to ensure that your indoor environment is as clean and healthy as possible.

Firstly, let's consider UAE-specific regulations: The Building Code for Dubai (UAE) emphasizes the importance of maintaining good indoor air quality. This includes regular cleaning and inspection of HVAC systems and ductwork to prevent dust accumulation which can exacerbate respiratory issues like asthma.

Given your situation, I'd recommend calling in a professional service for an inspection. Ducts can harbor allergens, mold spores, and other particles that might trigger coughing fits or worsen asthma symptoms. A certified technician will be able to assess the condition of your ductwork, identify any potential issues, and provide recommendations based on their findings.

When you call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com, ensure they are part of a reputable company with experience in the UAE. They should have the tools necessary to thoroughly clean your ducts and make sure no harmful substances remain.

Remember that regular maintenance can go a long way in preventing issues. Once cleaned and inspected, you might want to consider scheduling periodic checks every 2-3 years or after significant weather events such as sandstorms.

Taking these steps could greatly improve the air quality within your home, potentially reducing the frequency of your son's coughing fits.
