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.

Are ducts causing our coughs and sneezes?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I’ve noticed a persistent cough and sneezing in both my son and myself whenever we stay in our bedroom. The windows there get so much dust even though they’re mostly closed during these storms. We live on the 5th floor of an apartment complex, so I’m worried about how clean the ducts are. Have any of you noticed health issues after living here for a while that might be linked to duct cleanliness?

Ducts can indeed play a significant role in indoor air quality and might be contributing to your symptoms. After the heavy dust storms we've been experiencing recently, it's quite plausible that dust particles are circulating through your apartment’s ductwork and landing on surfaces like bedroom windows. Dust storms carry lots of tiny particles which could get trapped in your HVAC system over time.

In Dubai/UAE, duct cleaning is regulated by several guidelines but there aren't specific local laws mandating regular maintenance for residential properties. However, it's a good practice to have your HVAC system and ducts inspected every 3-5 years or sooner if you notice increased allergens or if you've experienced severe weather events like the recent dust storms.

Persistent coughing and sneezing in your bedroom could be due to various factors including but not limited to poor air quality from your ductwork. Ducts can become clogged with debris, mold spores, pet dander, pollen, and other allergens which get stirred up when the HVAC system runs. This can indeed exacerbate respiratory issues.

Given your symptoms, it would be wise to consider a professional inspection of your ducts. Many companies in Dubai offer this service using specialized equipment that can clean hard-to-reach areas and remove accumulated contaminants effectively. This could potentially improve your indoor air quality significantly.

If you do decide to go ahead with an inspection, make sure the company uses NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaning Association) certified technicians who follow stringent cleaning procedures. These professionals will not only clean but also check for any damage or leaks in your ductwork that might be contributing to poor air circulation.

After the inspection and if necessary, professional duct cleaning can help reduce allergens and improve overall indoor air quality. This should provide relief from your symptoms and a healthier living environment for you and your son.

Remember, keeping your home clean with regular vacuuming, dusting, and using HEPA filters in your HVAC system also helps but might not be sufficient to address the deeper issues that can arise from ductwork contamination.
