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 reduce kids' coughing in our home?« Back to Previous Page

My kids have been coughing and I suspect it's because of the air quality in our home. We've lived in our villa in Arabian Ranches for about three years now, and I’ve noticed that the dust settles quickly on surfaces, especially in the kids' playroom upstairs. I also found some dust buildup around the vents in the living room. Could duct cleaning help improve the air quality and reduce the coughing? How often should I consider getting this done?

Duct cleaning can indeed play a significant role in improving indoor air quality, which may help alleviate respiratory issues such as coughing, especially in children. Given that you've noticed dust accumulation in your villa in Arabian Ranches, it's quite possible that dust and other pollutants are circulating through your HVAC system and contributing to the air quality problems you're experiencing.

In Dubai, where dust storms and high particulate matter can be common, it's important to maintain clean air ducts to ensure that your home's air remains as healthy as possible. Dust, pet dander, mold spores, and other contaminants can build up in your ducts over time, leading to poor air quality. This can become particularly concerning in spaces where children play and spend a lot of time, such as the playroom you mentioned.

While duct cleaning can help, it’s important to understand that it is just one aspect of improving indoor air quality. Regular maintenance of your HVAC system, including changing filters frequently, using high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, and ensuring proper humidity levels, are also crucial. In the UAE, it is often recommended to have your ducts cleaned every 3 to 5 years, but if you notice excessive dust buildup or if someone in your family has allergies or respiratory issues, more frequent cleanings may be necessary.

Additionally, if your children’s coughing persists despite cleaning the ducts, I strongly recommend a professional inspection. This will help identify any underlying issues, such as mold growth or other pollutants that may not be addressed through duct cleaning alone. In fact, the UAE has specific regulations in place regarding indoor air quality and mold prevention, making professional assessments especially important for health and safety.

To take action, consider scheduling a thorough inspection and duct cleaning. You can contact a professional service like SaniService by calling 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or by emailing hello@saniservice.com. They can provide you with a detailed assessment of your indoor air quality and recommend the best course of action. Ensuring a healthy environment for your children is crucial, and taking these steps can significantly contribute to their well-being.
