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 daughter's cough?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, my daughter has been experiencing a persistent dry cough especially at night. The air feels thick in my bedroom right by the AC unit, and there's a noticeable layer of dust on everything. I'm really concerned about whether our ducts might be causing these symptoms. Has anyone here had their ducts cleaned recently or know if it can help with breathing issues?

Could dirty ducts cause my daughter's cough?

Absolutely, dirty ducts can be a significant source of indoor air pollution that could contribute to respiratory issues like persistent coughing. In Dubai and the UAE, our climate often sees rapid temperature changes, which can lead to dust storms and other particulate matter accumulation within HVAC systems and ductwork.

In your case, it sounds like your daughter's cough is more pronounced at night in her bedroom where she might be particularly sensitive to air quality due to a higher concentration of pollutants. The thick feeling in the air around the AC unit supports this as dusty or contaminated air can circulate throughout the entire home via these ducts.

In Dubai and across the UAE, it's important to ensure that your HVAC systems comply with local regulations which might include routine maintenance and cleaning practices. Although there aren't specific laws mandating regular duct cleaning, the Abu Dhabi Environmental Protection Department (EPA) does recommend periodic checks and cleanings for optimal air quality, especially after dust storms.

Given the symptoms you're describing, I would definitely advise having a professional inspection done to assess the current state of your ducts. Ductwork can accumulate not just dust but also mold, pet dander, pollen, and other allergens that could be exacerbating her cough. Saniservice, for instance, offers reliable duct cleaning services tailored specifically for the UAE market.

When you contact Saniservice or any other reputable company, request a detailed inspection report that outlines what was found in your ducts and how it might impact air quality. They can also provide advice on maintaining your system to prevent future issues.

Remember, while professional cleaning is crucial, there are steps you can take at home too. Regularly replacing HVAC filters, using HEPA filters which can capture smaller particles, and keeping the area around the AC unit free from clutter can help reduce dust in the air.

So if you're concerned about your daughter's symptoms or simply want to ensure a healthier indoor environment, don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) for Saniservice. They'll be able to give you peace of mind and make your home's air quality better.
