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.

Can duct cleaning help my kids?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new apartment a year ago, I've noticed an unusual musty smell coming from the bathroom ducts, especially when the air conditioning is on. My kids have been complaining of itchy eyes and coughing, which has me really worried about their health. After reading up on common allergens in homes, I suspect that old dust and mold in our ductwork could be the culprit. Could someone advise if regular duct cleaning might help alleviate these issues?

Absolutely, duct cleaning can definitely help your kids. The musty smell and the symptoms they're experiencing could indeed be linked to old dust and mold in the ductwork of your apartment.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, humidity levels can be quite high during certain months, which creates a perfect environment for mold growth. Mold spores can travel through your HVAC system and get distributed throughout the home with every air cycle. This could lead to respiratory issues, coughing, and itchy eyes – especially for kids whose immune systems are still developing.

Given the climate here in Dubai and the age of your apartment's ductwork, regular cleaning is highly recommended. But before you jump into a DIY approach, I'd advise having a professional inspection done by a certified company like ours at SanIService. They will be able to identify if there’s any mold or debris causing these issues and recommend appropriate cleaning methods.

Remember, the UAE doesn't have specific regulations for duct cleaning yet, but it is crucial to ensure that any service provider you choose follows best practices. They should use HEPA-filter vacuums and other specialized equipment to thoroughly clean the ducts without damaging them.

After a professional inspection, if mold or excessive dust is confirmed, regular maintenance every 1-2 years could help keep your indoor air quality in check. But it's also important to maintain good overall hygiene practices like regularly changing filters in your HVAC system, vacuuming surfaces, and ensuring proper ventilation throughout the home.

If you decide to go ahead with cleaning, ensure that the company you hire is reliable and has a proven track record. You can reach out to us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation. We have been serving the Dubai area for many years and are familiar with the unique challenges of our climate.

Taking these steps could greatly alleviate your concerns about your kids' health and provide you with peace of mind.
