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 duct cleaning behind furniture dangerous?« Back to Previous Page

We've been in our Dubai villa for about a year now and I just discovered what looks like duct cleaning behind some furniture. Is this dangerous and do I need to move out during treatment?

Duct cleaning behind furniture is generally not considered dangerous but it can be concerning especially for those who have been living in the villa for a year. It’s important to understand that ducts are part of your HVAC system and they do need periodic cleaning, particularly if you notice any issues like poor air quality or strange odors.

In dubai and the UAE, there isn't specific regulation mandating when exactly you should clean your ducts but it is recommended every 3-5 years depending on the environment and usage. The discovery of cleaning behind furniture could suggest that it's been a while since the last service and might be necessary to ensure good indoor air quality.

However, this is not something you need to move out for. Professional duct cleaning can be done in place without necessitating a relocation. During the process, professionals will use specialized equipment such as vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters, brushes, and sometimes negative pressure systems to remove debris, dust, and other contaminants from your ductwork.

If you're concerned about the safety or want to ensure that the treatment is being done correctly, it would be wise to call a professional. Saniservice is a reputable company based in Dubai that can offer inspection services and also handle the cleaning. You could contact them at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for an expert opinion.

It’s always good to get your ductwork checked by professionals, especially if you notice any changes in how your HVAC system operates or the quality of air circulating within your home. Regular maintenance and professional cleaning can help ensure that your indoor environment remains healthy and comfortable.

Remember, proper ventilation is key to maintaining a healthy living space. If at any point during or after the process, you notice unusual symptoms like coughing, wheezing, or other respiratory issues, contact a medical professional immediately.

Hope this helps!
