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 dirty ducts causing my child's night cough?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a persistent cough and wheezing in my little one’s room, especially during the night. The air feels stale even though we keep the windows open. Could it be due to the ductwork in our apartment that hasn’t been cleaned in years? What are some signs that would indicate if our ducts need cleaning urgently?

Are dirty ducts causing my child's night cough? That is a valid concern. In the UAE, particularly Dubai, our climate can be quite harsh, and dust storms are common. This could indeed lead to issues like the ones you're experiencing.

Firstly, it’s important to recognize that dirty air ducts can contribute significantly to poor indoor air quality (IAQ). Dust, allergens, mold spores, and other particulates can accumulate in your ductwork over time. When these get released into your home's airflow, they can trigger respiratory issues, especially in children or individuals with sensitive health conditions.

Some telltale signs that might indicate you need to clean your ducts urgently include:
• Persistent coughing, especially at night
• Wheezing or shortness of breath
• Increased allergy symptoms like runny nose or itchy eyes
• Musty odors emanating from the air vents

In Dubai and UAE, indoor environmental regulations are stringent. The Building Code for the Emirate of Dubai requires regular maintenance to ensure building performance, including HVAC systems and their ductwork. However, even with these requirements, it's crucial that you monitor your home’s IAQ regularly.

For a thorough assessment, I recommend contacting a professional inspection service. They can conduct a detailed inspection of your ducts, identify any issues, and provide a cleaning plan if necessary. At SaniService, we offer expert air duct cleaning services tailored to the needs of local homes. Our team uses advanced techniques and equipment to ensure that your ductwork is thoroughly cleaned.

If you're experiencing persistent symptoms in your child, it might be worth scheduling an appointment with a healthcare provider as well, just to rule out other potential causes.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on how we can help improve the air quality in your home. Remember, a clean and healthy indoor environment is crucial, especially during and after dust storms like the ones you've experienced recently.

Taking proactive steps now could prevent similar issues from arising again, ensuring a healthier living space for everyone, particularly those with sensitive respiratory systems.
