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.

Is duct issue causing our child's cough?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last week, I noticed a strange, almost musty smell lingering in the hallway near the children’s room. My son has also been complaining of a persistent cough that seems to get worse at night. Could this be related to the ducts in our apartment? We’ve lived here for two years and just noticed these issues. Have any of you experienced similar problems or had your ducts cleaned recently?

Yes, it's very plausible that your child's cough could be linked to issues within the ductwork. In Dubai and Abu Dhabi, we've seen several cases where poor air quality from uncleaned or improperly maintained ducts can lead to respiratory issues especially in children.

First off, dust storms like the one you experienced last week can significantly impact indoor air quality if your duct system isn't properly sealed or cleaned regularly. The storm could have kicked up a lot of dust and other particles that got caught in your ductwork. These might be circulating through your home's air distribution system without being filtered out, leading to those lingering musty smells you noticed.

Moreover, the UAE has its own set of environmental standards, including building codes which require regular maintenance of HVAC systems. While these codes are generally aimed at ensuring comfort and energy efficiency, they can also help in maintaining good indoor air quality (IAQ). However, it's not always clear to homeowners what exactly needs to be done on a regular basis.

Given the symptoms your son is experiencing - persistent coughing especially at night - I would highly recommend having an inspection of your duct system. A professional inspection could reveal issues like excessive dust buildup, mold growth due to moisture, or even pests that might have found their way into your ventilation system. These can all contribute to respiratory problems.

In Dubai, companies like Saniservice specialize in this kind of work and offer duct cleaning services which are crucial for improving IAQ. It’s not uncommon for us to find significant amounts of dust and debris after just a few years in homes here. Regular maintenance is key - typically, we recommend having your HVAC system, including the ducts, inspected every 1-2 years.

To act on this concern, I suggest giving Saniservice a call at 800-MOLDS or visiting their website to book an appointment for a thorough inspection and cleaning if necessary. This could greatly improve both the air quality in your home and potentially alleviate your son’s coughing issue.

Remember, addressing these issues early can prevent more serious health concerns down the line.
