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 dust from ducts causing my daughter's cough?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a persistent dry cough in my daughter's bedroom. The windows are usually kept closed during such weather, so I’m suspicious that it might be due to dust accumulating in our air ducts. How urgent is it to clean the ducts, and could this be causing her symptoms?

Dust from your air ducts can indeed contribute to respiratory issues like the coughing your daughter is experiencing. In Dubai and UAE regions, it's common for dust storms to deposit large amounts of particulates into your home’s environment—this includes not only dust but also pollen, pet dander, and other allergens that can find their way through closed windows.

The air duct system acts as a conduit for these particles, circulating them throughout the house. Persistent dry coughs from a child could be indicative of an irritation caused by such airborne irritants. However, it's important to note that there are multiple factors at play here; therefore, getting a professional assessment is crucial.

According to local regulations in Dubai, it’s advisable to get your duct system inspected and cleaned regularly—especially after dusty weather events. The UAE doesn't have specific laws requiring regular duct cleaning, but following best practices can significantly improve indoor air quality (IAQ) and thus the health of those living within.

If you suspect that dust from the ducts is causing her cough, it would be prudent to call in a professional for an inspection. Companies like Saniservice (you can reach them at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) offer thorough inspections and cleaning services that adhere to industry standards.

During the inspection, they will check not only the ductwork but also your HVAC system to ensure it’s functioning properly. Proper maintenance of both these systems is key to maintaining good IAQ in Dubai's climate conditions.

To act now, consider scheduling a consultation. This way, you can get an expert opinion on whether dust from the ducts is indeed the cause and receive recommendations for addressing any issues found. Regular cleaning might be necessary to keep your home’s air as clean as possible, particularly after events like dust storms.

Remember, while we all want the best for our children's health, it’s equally important to ensure that any steps taken are done safely and effectively. So don't hesitate to get in touch with professionals who can guide you through this process.

Taking these steps now could not only alleviate your daughter's cough but also improve the overall air quality of your home—benefiting everyone living there.
