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 urgent is duct cleaning now?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had a few weeks ago, I’ve noticed a persistent dirtier-than-normal layer of dust on the furniture in my bedroom. The AC unit in there has been running more than usual too. Given that it’s already late spring and summer is coming, how urgent do you think it is to get the ducts cleaned?

Duct cleaning is indeed something that should be given serious consideration, especially after the recent dust storms we've experienced. In Dubai and across the UAE, ductwork plays a critical role in maintaining indoor air quality (IAQ) throughout our buildings. The persistent layer of dirt you're noticing on your furniture might well indicate a need for attention to your HVAC system.

Given that it's late spring and summer is just around the corner, with its higher temperatures and increased use of air conditioning units, now could be quite urgent to get those ducts cleaned. According to local regulations, including the UAE Building Code and Environmental Health guidelines, maintaining clean and efficient ductwork ensures better performance of your air conditioning system while reducing energy consumption.

The dust storms can introduce a lot of particulate matter into the air which then gets sucked in by your AC unit and distributed throughout your home or workspace. This might lead to an increase in static electricity and dust settling on furniture, carpets, and other surfaces. In Dubai's climate, it’s not uncommon for such issues to be exacerbated during these periods.

I would recommend having a professional inspection done first. At Saniservice, we can offer detailed assessments of your ductwork and identify any areas that need cleaning or repair. This is particularly important if you have noticed an unusual increase in the use of your AC unit, as it could indicate restricted airflow due to accumulated dust and debris.

Given the current circumstances, I'd say it's rather urgent to act soon. The sooner you address this issue, the more efficient and comfortable your home will be during the upcoming hot months. Remember that regular maintenance of your HVAC system can also help in reducing allergens and improving overall IAQ, which is especially important for those with respiratory issues.

So, if you're concerned or just want peace of mind, consider giving us a call at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or drop us an email to hello@saniservice.com. We can schedule a service visit and ensure that your ducts are clean and ready for the summer.

Stay cool and breathe easy!
