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 related to family coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange moldy odor lingering in the living room, especially when the air conditioning was on. My family has also been complaining of persistent coughs, particularly my little one who spends most of her time at home playing with toys near the vents. Could this be related to the ductwork? What should I do about cleaning it?

Absolutely, it's highly possible that the moldy odor and persistent coughs could be linked to your ductwork. In Dubai/UAE, our climate can sometimes lead to moisture issues, especially after heavy rainfalls. This situation is not uncommon where dampness can seep into HVAC systems, leading to mold growth within the ducts.

Mold spores in the air conditioning system can spread throughout the house when the unit runs, potentially causing respiratory issues like coughing and other allergic reactions. For your little one who spends most of her time near the vents, this risk is even higher as she may inhale more airborne particles.

It's important to act swiftly on these symptoms by having a professional inspection done. In Dubai, you can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an assessment and cleaning service. Regular maintenance of your HVAC system includes checking the ductwork for any signs of mold or damage, ensuring it stays clean and free from allergens.

Remember that in the UAE, there are specific regulations around indoor environmental quality which mandate certain standards for building maintenance. Keeping up with these can help prevent health issues like those your family is experiencing.

For now, try to keep the air circulating well by running an air purifier if you have one, and ensure good ventilation when the weather permits. Avoid using humidifiers unless absolutely necessary and make sure they are cleaned regularly to prevent mold growth.

Dont delay in getting this situation under control. Your health and your family’s comfort are paramount.
