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 ductwork cleaning needed due to coughs and sneezing?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a couple of weeks ago, I’ve noticed a persistent cough and sneezing in my bedroom. The windows are rarely closed, but the air still feels gritty and unclean. My kids have been complaining about their throats hurting too. Could this be related to the ductwork in our apartment? Should I consider having it cleaned professionally?

Absolutely! Your symptoms might indeed be linked to issues within your ductwork. In the UAE, especially during dust storms, particles like sand and dust can easily infiltrate your indoor environment through poorly maintained air conditioning systems and ducts. This grittiness you mention could very well be due to accumulated debris in your ducts, which is then circulated throughout your apartment.

In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, there are specific regulations regarding indoor air quality (IAQ). According to the Building Control Department (BCD) of Dubai Municipality, it's crucial that your HVAC systems, including ductwork, are regularly inspected and maintained. This helps in ensuring a healthier living environment by reducing the risk of airborne contaminants.

The persistent coughing and sneezing you're experiencing could be due to irritants like dust mites, mold spores, or even pet dander which might have been trapped in your ducts and now being circulated throughout your space. Children are particularly vulnerable to these irritants as their respiratory systems are still developing.

Given the recent dust storm, it would be wise to consider a professional inspection of your ductwork. Some signs that may indicate you need cleaning include a noticeable increase in allergy or asthma symptoms among household members, an unpleasant smell emanating from your vents, or visible dirt or mold on your air registers.

If the issue persists after this storm and especially if more people in your family are experiencing respiratory issues, it might be time to call in professionals. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive duct cleaning services that can help remove accumulated debris, dust, and other allergens from your system, significantly improving indoor air quality. Our team will meticulously clean the ducts using high-pressure systems and specialized tools to ensure everything is thoroughly cleaned.

Do give us a call at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you're ready to breathe easier and enjoy cleaner, healthier air in your home.
