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 issues cause our children's coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm last month, we've noticed a lingering smell of dirt and mold in our hallway near the children's room. My wife and I are particularly worried about it affecting their health as they have been complaining of coughing fits lately. Could this be due to ductwork issues? What should we do first?

Ductwork issues can indeed contribute to the health concerns you're experiencing. Dust and mold can accumulate within the ducts of your HVAC system over time, especially after a dust storm. These particles can get circulated through your home's air, affecting indoor air quality (IAQ) and potentially leading to respiratory issues like coughing fits in children.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it’s not uncommon for extreme weather conditions like dust storms to cause such problems. Given that you’ve noticed a lingering smell of dirt and mold near the children's room, it’s highly possible that your ducts might be the source of these irritants.

First things first, it would be wise to conduct a professional inspection of your HVAC system. This can help identify if there are any issues such as excessive dust or mold growth within the ductwork. In Dubai, you could call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for an inspection or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule one with a professional service.

In the meantime, here are some steps you can take:
1. Ensure your home’s ventilation is adequate. Open windows where possible to allow fresh air circulation.
2. Use HEPA filters in your HVAC system if they aren’t already installed. These filters can capture smaller particles that might otherwise be circulated through your home.
3. Clean and maintain your ducts by vacuuming them regularly, but remember, DIY cleaning may not reach deep enough or remove all contaminants.
4. Consider using air purifiers with activated carbon filters to help reduce odors.

If you find yourself overwhelmed or if the issue persists, don’t hesitate to call for professional assistance. The experts at 800-MOLDS can provide a thorough inspection and offer solutions that could improve your home’s IAQ significantly.

Remember, addressing these issues promptly is crucial to protect your children's health. Regular maintenance of your HVAC system, particularly after events like dust storms, can help maintain a cleaner and healthier indoor environment for you and your family in Dubai.
