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 ductwork cause my kids' coughing?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new penthouse apartment a year ago, we’ve noticed a strange musty smell lingering in the living room, especially after it rains. My kids have been complaining of persistent coughing and I can’t shake the feeling that it might be related to the ductwork. The main duct runs right above where their bedroom is located. Could this be causing their symptoms? What should we do about getting our ducts cleaned?

Yes, ductwork could indeed be the culprit behind your kids' persistent coughing. The musty smell you've noticed and its correlation to rainy weather might point towards moisture accumulation within the ducts. In Dubai's warm climate, this can lead to mold growth which is known for causing respiratory issues in children.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it’s not uncommon to see older buildings with inadequate duct cleaning practices leading to a buildup of dust, debris, and potentially, mold. The main duct running above their bedroom could be introducing contaminated air into your living space, contributing significantly to their symptoms.

Given the situation, I strongly recommend getting a professional inspection done. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice are well-regarded for their expertise in this field. They adhere to local regulations and can help identify if there's any mold growth or other issues within your ducts that could be affecting air quality.

To proceed, you might want to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation. The experts from Saniservice can assess the condition of your ductwork and advise on necessary cleaning procedures to ensure your home’s air quality is up to standard.

Remember, regular maintenance is key in preventing such issues. Once any problems are identified during the inspection, it's important to address them promptly to avoid worsening health conditions for your family members.
