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.

How much does duct cleaning removal cost?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell coming from the vents in my bedroom. It’s especially noticeable when the air conditioning is running at night. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits, which seems to coincide with the times we turn on the AC. Could this be related to old ductwork, and should I consider having it cleaned?

Duct cleaning costs can vary significantly based on several factors such as the size of your ductwork system, the extent of contamination, and whether you're looking for a simple dust removal or a comprehensive cleaning that includes disinfection. In Dubai/UAE, prices could range from AED 100 to over AED 500 per linear foot, with an average cost often falling between AED 200 to AED 300 per linear foot.

Given your concerns about the damp smell and your kids' coughing fits, it is highly advisable to schedule a professional inspection. This can help determine if old ductwork is indeed the source of these issues. In fact, in many cases, such problems are related to moisture accumulation within the ducts which can lead to mold growth—something that could be causing respiratory issues for your family.

For a proper assessment and cleaning, companies like Saniservice provide services tailored to your specific needs. They have experience with UAE-specific regulations and can offer a comprehensive solution that includes not just the physical cleaning but also ensuring the air quality meets standards set by health authorities. A thorough cleaning might involve using specialized equipment such as brushes and vacuum systems designed for this task, along with the use of biocides or other treatments to address any mold growth.

Remember, regular maintenance and professional inspections are crucial in maintaining good indoor environmental quality, especially in areas prone to high humidity like Dubai. It's important not to delay addressing potential issues to avoid more serious health concerns down the line.

Should you decide to go ahead with a cleaning service, make sure to ask for detailed quotes that include all services being offered. You can reach out to Saniservice directly at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email them at hello@saniservice.com for more information and scheduling.

Cleaning your ductwork is an investment in the health of you and your family, so it's worth considering thoroughly.
