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 often should ducts be cleaned in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent sandstorm, I noticed a strange dusty smell lingering in my bedroom every morning. My partner has also complained of itchy eyes and a persistent cough that seems to be triggered by the air conditioning. The filters in the AC units are relatively clean, but I suspect the ducts might be a source of this issue. Have you experienced similar problems or do you know how often professional duct cleaning is recommended for homes in Dubai?

Duct cleaning is quite important for maintaining the indoor air quality in Dubai. The sandy and dusty conditions during sandstorms can indeed cause issues like the one you're experiencing. In general, ductwork should be cleaned every 3-5 years if there are no specific concerns or complaints. However, given your situation with itchy eyes and coughs triggered by the AC, a more thorough inspection might be necessary.

In dubAI, we have to deal with quite a bit of dust and particulates in the air due to various environmental factors including sandstorms. This can accumulate in the ductwork over time leading to issues like the one you've described. It's important to note that local regulations don't specifically mandate how often ducts need cleaning but recommend it based on the condition and use.

Given your symptoms, it would be wise to have a professional inspection carried out. They will be able to check for any dust, mold or other contaminants that could be causing these issues. If there's something wrong with the air quality in your home, regular maintenance of the ducts can really help improve things.

It is also important to keep in mind that maintaining good ventilation and using high-quality filters in your AC units can go a long way towards preventing such issues. However, if you do find that your ducts are the source of the problem, cleaning them professionally might be necessary.

If you want to get this checked out, i'd recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for more information and an appointment. They can provide a thorough inspection and discuss with you on what might be best suited for your situation in dubAI.

Remember, keeping the air you breathe clean is crucial, especially during times like these when the environment can be harsh.
