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 cleanup necessary due to dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a strange, gritty residue on the windowsills of our living room. My children have also started complaining about itchy throats and runny noses, especially when they spend time in that area. Could this be due to poor air quality from the ducts? Should I consider having them cleaned soon?

Ductwork cleanup is indeed something to consider especially after the recent dust storm we experienced here in Dubai. The gritty residue you noticed on your windowsills could be a sign of poor air quality, which can definitely affect indoor environments and contribute to respiratory issues like itchy throats and runny noses, particularly for children.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, regulations surrounding HVAC systems are stringent. According to the Building Code 2014 (EDB), regular maintenance and cleaning of ductwork is essential to ensure proper air quality and efficiency of your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. The codes suggest that ducts should be inspected and cleaned at least once every three years or sooner if there's visible dirt, dust, mold growth, or pest infestation.

The dust storm you mentioned could have introduced a significant amount of particulates into the air and onto your ductwork. These particles can travel through your HVAC system and get distributed throughout your home, leading to a variety of issues including those your children are experiencing.

It's advisable to call in a professional for an inspection first. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive duct cleaning services that include thorough examination, removal of contaminants, and disinfection. Our technicians use advanced equipment like vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters and specialized brushes to ensure a deep clean. We also provide reports on the condition of your ducts and recommendations for future maintenance.

Do not ignore these symptoms as they could lead to more serious health issues. Act now by contacting us at 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation. We're here to help you breathe easier and live healthier in your home.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key, especially during times like these when our environment can be more challenging.
