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 improper duct sealing cause mold growth?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent storms, I noticed a persistent damp smell coming from the kitchen, especially when we open the door. My daughter has had a stuffy nose and mild cough since then, which worries me about mold or other allergens. Could this be related to improper duct sealing in our apartment?

Absolutely, improper duct sealing can indeed contribute to mold growth in your apartment. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, our climate is typically warm and humid – conditions that are perfect for mold's proliferation. Ducts that aren't properly sealed can allow moisture to accumulate inside, especially after events like recent storms. This trapped moisture provides an ideal environment for mold spores to thrive.

In terms of regulations, the UAE doesn't have specific laws on duct sealing but the Building Code and Environmental Health Standards do emphasize proper ventilation and air quality control, which are directly related to ensuring that moisture doesn't accumulate in your ductwork. Improper sealing can lead to a variety of issues including dampness, mold growth, and even respiratory problems for you and your family.

Given the symptoms your daughter is experiencing - stuffy nose and mild cough - it's quite possible that she may be reacting to allergens or irritants present due to improper duct sealing. Mold spores and other airborne particles can circulate through your apartment undetected if your ducts aren't sealed correctly, leading to these issues.

It would be wise to have a professional inspection done by calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com. A certified expert will be able to assess the condition of your ductwork and identify any areas that need sealing or repair. They can also perform air quality tests to ensure everything is up to standard.

Remember, addressing this issue promptly could significantly improve indoor air quality in your home, making it more comfortable for you and your family. Don't hesitate to act if you suspect there's a problem – the health of your loved ones is worth investing in professional help.
