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.

Could cleaning ductwork improve my son's cough?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last week, I noticed a strange smell lingering in my son’s room. The air conditioning vents are quite close to his bed, and it makes me worry about the cleanliness of the ducts. We’ve lived here for two years, and just now noticed that his cough has worsened since the storm. Could cleaning the ductwork really make such a difference?

Absolutely, cleaning ductwork can make a significant difference in your son's cough. In Dubai/UAE and specifically in the UAE, dust storms like the one you experienced are known to carry a variety of particulates that can irritate respiratory systems, especially when they become trapped within poorly maintained HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems.

The ducts in your home act as a conduit for air circulation, but if not cleaned regularly, they can accumulate dust, mold spores, pollen, and other allergens. These particles can then be circulated back into the air whenever the AC or heating system is on, potentially exacerbating respiratory issues like coughing.

After the dust storm, it’s quite plausible that fine particulate matter has entered your ducts, leading to a noticeable change in indoor air quality. This could certainly contribute to your son's recent worsening of his cough symptoms.

In Dubai, there are no specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning, but given the climate and frequent sandstorms, it is highly recommended to have your ductwork inspected and cleaned every 2-3 years or after significant weather events like dust storms.

A professional inspection can identify any issues with the HVAC system and ensure that the ducts are clean. This process involves using specialized tools to remove accumulated debris from inside the ducts and typically includes a visual inspection of the air conditioning components as well.

If your son’s cough persists or worsens despite cleaning, it would be wise to consult with an allergist or respiratory specialist for further evaluation.

Don’t hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection and duct cleaning. We can help ensure the air quality in your home is as clean as possible, which could greatly benefit your son’s health.
