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 I fix duct issues myself?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a slight leakage near the ceiling vents in my bedroom. The ducts seem to be causing more issues than usual, especially with the musty smell lingering even after cleaning everything. Can someone advise if this is something I can fix myself or if it’s better to hire a professional?

Absolutely, duct issues can be a bit daunting but they're often manageable. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it's important to keep an eye on indoor air quality due to our climate and dust storms. The musty smell you mentioned could indicate that your ducts aren't sealed properly or there might be some moisture buildup - both are conditions that can lead to mold growth.

Firstly, check if the leakage is significant enough for professional help. If it's just a small gap around the vent, you may attempt sealing it yourself. You'll need some tools like a sealant, caulk, and possibly some aluminum tape or duct mastic. Make sure to follow safety guidelines, especially when working with any chemical products.

However, if the leakage is more severe or you can't pinpoint the exact location of the issue, it might be best to call in the professionals. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice specialize in this area and have a team that's well-versed in UAE regulations such as the ones from the Ministry of Energy and Industry (MoEI) which require periodic inspections for building HVAC systems.

If you decide to DIY, ensure all the surfaces are clean and dry before applying any sealant. Use a high-quality caulk or mastic to ensure it adheres properly. For larger gaps, consider using metal tape as an additional layer of protection.

Remember, in the UAE, it's important to keep up with building codes and regulations, which can vary slightly from other regions. Saniservice can help you stay compliant while also ensuring your ductwork is in top condition.

If you're unsure or if the smell persists even after cleaning everything, definitely call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection and advice. They can provide you with expert guidance tailored to Dubai’s specific needs.

Taking care of your ducts not only improves air quality but also ensures the efficiency of your HVAC system, which is crucial in our hot climate.
