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 poor duct cleaning cause our symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, my children started complaining of itchy eyes and a persistent cough, especially when they’re near our bedroom. The AC in the master suite seems to be blowing out a lot of dust too. Could this be due to poor duct cleaning? What signs should I look for that might indicate if our ducts need cleaning?

Dust storms can indeed stir up a lot of particulates and could potentially contribute to your family's symptoms. However, poor duct cleaning is one of the many factors that might be causing issues like itchy eyes and coughing. In Dubai/UAE, maintaining proper indoor air quality (IAQ) is crucial, given our hot, dry climate and the high frequency of sandstorms.

Poor duct cleaning can lead to a buildup of dust, mold spores, and other allergens in your HVAC system, which gets circulated throughout your home. This could be a significant factor if you're experiencing these symptoms, particularly when you’re near the master suite where it seems like more dust is being released.

To determine if this is indeed an issue, there are certain signs to look out for:

1. Visible Dust Accumulation: Check for any visible dust or debris on your ductwork and air vents.
2. Odors: Unusual odors in the air can indicate mold growth or bacterial buildup within your ducts.
3. Increased Allergy Symptoms: If symptoms like itchy eyes, coughing, or sneezing worsen during certain times of the year (like after a dust storm), this might point to an issue with your HVAC system.

In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, there isn’t specific regulation regarding duct cleaning frequency. However, as a general rule of thumb, it is recommended that you have your ducts cleaned every 3-5 years, depending on factors like how often you use your AC and if you live in an area with high dust or pollen levels.

If you're concerned about the air quality in your home or are experiencing symptoms more frequently, it would be wise to schedule a professional inspection. Companies like Saniservice can provide thorough assessments and cleaning services tailored to the needs of Dubai homes.

For those who want immediate help, you could give us a call at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on how we can assist. Remember, good IAQ is key to maintaining health and comfort in your home.

Hope this helps!
