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 old ducts cause health issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a lot of fine dust settling on the furniture in my living room. My son has been complaining of a persistent dry cough since then, and it made me wonder if there might be more than just dust in those vents. The ducts in our apartment are quite old, so I’m really worried about what could be lurking inside. Has anyone had their ducts cleaned recently and noticed any changes in the air quality or family health?

Could old ducts cause health issues? I've been hearing that question quite often lately and it's completely understandable. After the heavy dust storms we experienced recently, i can see how you would be concerned about your family's health.

In the UAE, particulate matter from sandstorms, pollutants, and even some construction dust can get trapped in old duct systems. This can lead to various issues over time. Firstly, dust, mold spores, and other allergens can accumulate in the ductwork of your apartment or home. These particles can circulate through your HVAC system and eventually find their way into your living space. For someone with a persistent dry cough like your son, it's quite possible that these particles are causing irritation.

Ducts in Dubai, especially if they're old, may not have been cleaned properly since installation. In the UAE, there aren’t specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning but it is highly recommended to ensure good indoor air quality (IAQ).

I recently heard from a neighbor who had their ducts cleaned and noticed an immediate improvement in her family's health. They reported fewer allergy symptoms and less dust settling on furniture. It’s not uncommon for people living in older properties or those that have undergone renovations to experience similar issues.

If you're really worried, i would recommend scheduling a professional inspection of your duct system. Companies like Saniservice offer services where they can check the condition of your ducts and clean them if necessary. This is especially important if you have noticed any changes in air quality or health issues since the dust storms hit.

Calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com could be a good start to get an assessment done. Regular maintenance can help keep your indoor environment cleaner and healthier, which is particularly important for families with children or anyone who suffers from allergies or respiratory conditions.

In conclusion, it's not just the dust storms that could be causing issues in your home. Old ducts might indeed be harboring more than you think. Taking proactive steps to clean them can make a big difference in your family’s health and comfort.
