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 dirty ducts cause my children's symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the bedroom near the ceiling where the ducts run. My children have been complaining of persistent coughs and sneezing fits, especially when we're home. Could this be due to dirty ducts? What should I do about it?

Yes, dirty ducts could indeed be causing your children's symptoms. In the UAE, especially during heavy rain events like the ones we've experienced recently, water can seep into HVAC systems and ductwork. This creates a perfect breeding ground for mold and bacteria to grow, leading to potential respiratory issues among family members.

In Dubai, it’s crucial to monitor any signs of moisture in your home as these can indicate underlying problems with your air conditioning or ventilation systems. The dampness you've noticed near the ceiling where the ducts run is a red flag. Mold thrives in warm and humid environments, and if left unchecked, it could spread throughout your home.

Given that your children are experiencing persistent coughing and sneezing, especially when at home, this points towards allergens or irritants being released into the air via your HVAC system. It's important to address these issues promptly to ensure a healthy indoor environment for your family.

I would recommend scheduling a professional inspection of your ductwork as soon as possible. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer comprehensive inspections and remediation services that adhere to local regulations such as those set by the UAE Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi (UAE-EA). They can identify if there’s any mold growth or other contaminants in your ducts and provide a detailed report on what needs to be done.

Remember, keeping your HVAC system clean and well-maintained is key. Regular cleaning and servicing of your units are recommended every 6-12 months, especially after events like heavy rain. This not only helps maintain the efficiency of your air conditioning but also ensures that the air you breathe is free from harmful particles.
