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 linked to strange odors and health issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a strange odor coming from the air vents in my living room. It smells like something is rotting, and it's been there for days now. My family has been complaining of sneezing and coughing more than usual since then too. Has anyone else experienced this? Could it be related to the cleaning of our ducts?

Cleaning ducts can indeed be linked to strange odors and health issues. In the UAE specifically, particularly in places like Dubai where we often experience dust storms, it's common for dust, debris, and other particles to accumulate within your air duct system over time. This buildup not only affects the quality of indoor air but also poses potential health risks.

The odor you're experiencing sounds a lot like what could be coming from damp or mold growth in the ductwork. In Dubai, where humidity can play a significant role, it's quite possible that after the dust storm, some areas within your ducts might have gotten wet and are now fostering mold growth. Mold thrives in moist environments and can produce strong, unpleasant odors.

It is important to note that the UAE has certain regulations regarding indoor air quality (IAQ) and building maintenance practices. Ensuring your duct system is regularly cleaned and inspected aligns with these guidelines. However, if you've noticed this issue only after a dust storm, it might be worth having an inspection done to determine the exact cause of the odor.

Health issues like sneezing and coughing are common complaints following IAQ problems, especially mold exposure. The particles from mold can irritate your respiratory system, leading to these symptoms.

Given the severity of what you're experiencing, I highly recommend calling in a professional for an inspection. Companies like Saniservice offer reliable duct cleaning services that adhere to local standards and regulations. Their team will be able to assess the situation accurately and provide appropriate remediation if necessary.

For now, make sure to keep your home well-ventilated by opening windows when possible (but ensure you're not exposing yourself or others to external pollutants). Also, avoid using air conditioning units until you can have a professional assessment done as they might exacerbate the issue by circulating contaminated air throughout the space.

Remember, it's always better to err on the side of caution. The number for Saniservice is 800-66537 and their email address is hello@saniservice.com. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need further advice or assistance.
