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.

Is damp ductwork causing my kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in our living room ducts. My kids have been complaining of persistent coughing, especially when we turn on the AC. Could this be related to the dampness in the ductwork? Should we consider having them cleaned professionally?

Is damp ductwork causing my kids' coughs? That's a valid concern. In Dubai and the UAE, humidity can be quite high during certain periods of the year, particularly after rain events. This increase in moisture can indeed lead to mold growth within your ductwork, which could explain the musty smell you've noticed and possibly the persistent coughing your kids are experiencing.

When air conditioning is turned on, it circulates air through these ducts, potentially spreading airborne spores of mold and other allergens throughout your home. This exposure can irritate the respiratory system and exacerbate conditions like asthma or allergies in children, leading to coughing episodes.

For professional assessment, I highly recommend calling 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a detailed inspection of your ductwork. A certified expert can help identify if mold is present and advise on the best course of action. Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial to maintaining good indoor air quality, especially in areas with high humidity.

Remember that mold spores are invisible to the naked eye, so just because you don't see visible signs doesn’t mean they’re not there. Prompt remediation can prevent health issues for your family.

Cleaning your ducts is one step; ensuring proper ventilation and managing indoor moisture levels are also important in preventing mold growth. Consider using dehumidifiers during humid months to keep the environment dry and healthy.
