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 clean ducts after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I’ve noticed a persistent cough and sneezing since then. The smell in my bedroom is really unpleasant, like something musty and stale. My kids have been complaining of itchy eyes and runny noses too. Should I consider cleaning the ducts in my apartment to see if that helps?

Absolutely, given the recent dust storm and the symptoms you're experiencing, it's highly probable that your ductwork has accumulated a substantial amount of debris and allergens. In the UAE, particularly Dubai, such storms can release a lot of particulates into the air which then get trapped within the HVAC system. These particles can include dust, pollen, mold spores, and even microscopic contaminants.

Firstly, it's important to note that in the UAE, especially in areas like Dubai, there are no specific regulations mandating duct cleaning after storms. However, given the conditions during a sandstorm, professional inspection of your ducts could be beneficial to ensure they're not harboring any harmful substances.

Given what you've experienced with coughing, sneezing, and eye irritation—especially in a room that has been closed off for some time—it’s reasonable to assume that allergens from the storm have settled within your ventilation system. These can circulate throughout your home, contributing significantly to respiratory issues and other allergic reactions.

I'd recommend you contact a professional environmental inspection and remediation company like Saniservice, who operate in Dubai and can offer a thorough assessment of your ductwork. They'll be able to identify any contaminants present and provide the necessary cleaning services to ensure that your indoor environment is safe for you and your family.

In addition to professional cleaning, consider improving your HVAC system’s efficiency by changing air filters more frequently than usual after such storms. This can help reduce the amount of dust and debris circulating in your home.

Lastly, don’t forget about maintaining good ventilation in your apartment, especially during periods when there is no significant outdoor breeze. Opening windows or using exhaust fans to clear out stale air might provide some temporary relief until you can have a professional inspection and cleaning completed.

So, do give Saniservice a call at 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com for an expert consultation and action plan to address your concerns.
