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 ductwork cause my kids' allergies?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a lot of dust accumulating in our living room vents. My kids have been complaining of itchy eyes and runny noses, especially since they started playing close to the windows. The ductwork hasn't been cleaned for years; could this be causing their allergies?

Ductwork can indeed play a significant role in the air quality of your home and potentially affect your kids' allergies. In Dubai/UAE, dust storms are common, especially during certain times of the year, which can lead to an increase in airborne particles that might get trapped within your ducts over time. If not cleaned regularly, these ducts can accumulate a substantial amount of dust and other allergens such as pollen, pet dander, and mold spores.

The symptoms your kids are experiencing - itchy eyes and runny noses - could be exacerbated by poor indoor air quality caused by the accumulated dust in your ventilation system. This is particularly concerning since you mentioned that their symptoms worsen when they're near windows, suggesting an increase in outdoor pollutants entering your home through poorly maintained ducts.

UAE regulations regarding indoor air quality are relatively stringent, especially with the growing awareness of environmental health and safety. However, it's important to ensure compliance by having a professional inspection and cleaning done if needed. The Ministry of Community Development and Labor (MCPL) often recommends regular maintenance checks for HVAC systems, including ductwork.

Given that your ducts haven't been cleaned in years, I'd strongly recommend scheduling an inspection with a reputable company specializing in environmental inspections and remediation. Companies like Saniservice can provide detailed reports on the condition of your ductwork and recommend appropriate cleaning or remediation services if necessary. They can also offer advice on how to maintain optimal indoor air quality.

Calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com could be a good starting point for getting professional assistance in evaluating the situation and ensuring that your family's health is not compromised by old ductwork.

Remember, while immediate relief might come from cleaning filters or temporarily using an air purifier, addressing the source of the problem - the ducts themselves - can provide long-term benefits. Taking action now could significantly reduce allergens in your home and help alleviate symptoms for you and your kids.
