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 necessary after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a few weeks ago, I’ve noticed a persistent dry cough and sneezing every time I enter my bedroom. The air feels particularly thick and it’s like there’s a layer of dust settling on everything. Could this be due to the ducts in my apartment not being cleaned? What should I do?

Absolutely, after the recent dust storm, it is highly recommended to have your ducts cleaned. In the UAE, specifically in Dubai, we've seen an increase in respiratory issues following such storms and it's likely that the thick air you're experiencing is due to dust particles getting trapped in your HVAC system.

Duct cleaning can greatly improve indoor air quality by removing accumulated dust, debris, and mold spores from your ductwork. This process not only helps alleviate symptoms like coughing and sneezing but also ensures a healthier living environment for you and your family. In fact, the UAE Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MoECC) advises regular maintenance of HVAC systems to ensure they are free from contaminants.

Given the severity of the dust storm we've had recently, it’s crucial to act promptly. I recommend scheduling an inspection with a certified professional who can assess whether your ducts need cleaning or if there's any damage that needs repair. They will also be able to identify and address other potential issues that may have been exacerbated by the storm.

Here in Dubai, companies like Saniservice are well-equipped to handle such tasks. Their team can provide a thorough inspection of your HVAC system and ensure it meets all local regulations. If you decide to proceed, do so by calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com. It's also important to note that regular maintenance should be part of your routine, even in the absence of major storms.

Remember, keeping your ducts clean is not just about immediate relief from symptoms but also helps in reducing energy costs and prolonging the life of your HVAC system. So, don’t wait for another storm – take action now!

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection today!
