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 dampness and coughs be from dirty ductwork?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my rental’s living room, especially near the vents. My kids have also been experiencing more coughing than usual since we moved into this apartment two years ago. Could this be related to the ductwork needing cleaning?

Absolutely! It's quite plausible that the dampness and coughing could be linked to your ductwork. In the UAE, especially during the rainy season or periods of high humidity like the summer, moisture can build up within HVAC systems leading to discomfort and potential health issues for residents.

In Dubai, building regulations require regular maintenance of HVAC systems which include cleaning the ducts every 2-3 years, depending on usage and environmental conditions. Since your apartment has been experiencing dampness near vents and your children have had more coughing after moving in two years ago, it's highly likely that dust, mold spores, and other allergens could be circulating through the air due to a dirty system.

The dampness you're noticing might indicate condensation or water accumulation within the ductwork. This can occur when warm, humid indoor air meets cooler surfaces inside the ducts. The moisture can lead to mold growth which is known to cause respiratory issues and coughing, especially in children.

Given these symptoms, I strongly recommend calling a professional for an inspection and cleaning of your ductwork. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer reliable duct cleaning services that comply with local building codes and standards.

To take action right away, you could give them a call at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection. Early intervention can prevent further health issues for your family while also ensuring the comfort of your living environment is maintained.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial in Dubai's climate and this step could make a significant difference in reducing allergens and improving overall well-being.
