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 dust triggering my son's asthma?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a couple of weeks ago, I noticed a layer of fine dust collecting on surfaces in my living room, even though I hadn’t opened any windows. It’s concerning because my son has been experiencing more frequent asthma attacks lately and I suspect it might be due to allergens from the ducts. Has anyone here experienced similar issues or know how to ensure proper duct cleaning to prevent this from recurring?

Absolutely, dust from your ducts can indeed be triggering asthma attacks in your son. In the UAE, specifically in Dubai, we've seen several cases where household allergens like dust mites, mold spores, and pet dander have been linked to respiratory issues – especially in children.

Ductwork in homes here often accumulates a significant amount of particulate matter due to the sandstorms that can occur frequently. These storms kick up fine particles which are then drawn into your home's ventilation system and eventually into your ducts. Over time, these deposits can create a perfect environment for allergens to thrive.

To address this issue effectively, I'd recommend having your ductwork professionally inspected by an accredited company like Saniservice. They adhere to UAE standards and regulations such as EN 1829:2013 which ensures thorough cleaning procedures are followed. A professional inspection will help identify any blockages or areas where dust has accumulated and provide a tailored plan for cleaning.

During the inspection, they can also check for signs of mold growth – something particularly common in humid environments like ours. Mold not only exacerbates asthma symptoms but can also trigger other health issues.

The process typically involves vacuuming the interior surfaces of your ducts with specialized equipment, decontaminating them where necessary, and sealing any leaks or gaps to prevent future accumulation.

For immediate relief until a professional cleaning can be done, try running fans in opposite corners of each room to create cross ventilation which helps disperse dust. Also, increase indoor humidity levels – above 40% is ideal for reducing allergens but below the threshold that promotes mold growth.

Lastly, consider using HEPA air purifiers as an interim measure. They are effective at capturing tiny particles and can provide some relief.

To schedule a professional inspection or get more information, you can call us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. We’re here to help ensure the air in your home is as clean as possible for your family's health.

Remember, keeping your ducts clean and maintaining good indoor air quality can significantly reduce asthma attacks and other respiratory issues.
