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 duct issues cause my kids' coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a strange odor lingering in the hallway right by our children's room. It's especially noticeable when the air conditioning is running. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately too, which has me worried it might be related to the ducts. Have any of you experienced similar issues and what did you do about it?

Absolutely could be! Duct issues can indeed cause coughing and other respiratory discomforts. The dust storm you had last month might have introduced a lot of particulates into your system which, combined with the air conditioning, could be triggering the coughing episodes in your kids.

In the UAE, especially during such storms, it's not uncommon to see an increase in cases where the ductwork isn't properly maintained. The dust and debris that get trapped in the ducts can circulate through the ventilation system, introducing allergens and irritants directly into living spaces like your children’s room. This could explain why you're noticing a strange odor too - it's possible mold or mildew has started to grow due to excess moisture from the storm.

In Dubai, there are no specific regulations mandating duct cleaning as of now, but I would highly recommend having a professional inspection done. This will help identify if there is any buildup in your system and ensure that the air quality is at its best. If it's determined that the ducts need attention, professional duct cleaning can be a great solution.

Remember to keep an eye out for other signs of poor indoor air quality such as sneezing, headaches, or eye irritation which could also point towards issues with your HVAC system. Regular maintenance and cleanings are crucial in maintaining good indoor environmental quality, particularly after storms like the one you experienced.

If you decide to proceed, don’t hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation. We have the experience and equipment necessary to thoroughly clean your ducts and ensure that they are free from contaminants.

Taking care of these issues promptly can significantly improve the air quality in your home, making it healthier for everyone, especially children.
