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 dusty air causing my kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell in my bedroom. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits, especially at night when they sleep with the windows open. Could this be linked to the dusty air? Should I consider having the ducts cleaned?

Is dusty air causing your kids' coughs? It's entirely possible. Dust storms and subsequent airborne particles can carry allergens, mold spores, and other irritants that could be triggering their coughing fits. In Dubai and the UAE, we've seen a rise in respiratory issues post-dust storms due to these factors.

Firstly, it’s important to consider if there are any visible signs of dust or mold growth within your home. Check for any damp areas or musty odors. Mold can thrive in HVAC systems and ductwork, especially after a storm. If you notice any discoloration or water damage in your air handler unit or along the ducts, it might indicate that mold is present.

Given the symptoms your children are experiencing, I strongly recommend having an inspection by a professional service. In Dubai, regulations require that HVAC systems be maintained and cleaned regularly to ensure good indoor air quality (IAQ). The UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) also provides guidelines on maintaining healthy environments in buildings.

A professional inspection can pinpoint the exact source of the problem and recommend appropriate cleaning or remediation steps. Companies like Saniservice are known for their expertise in this area, providing services such as duct cleaning, mold testing, and air quality assessments.

If you decide to proceed with a duct cleaning, make sure the service provider uses HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters during the process to capture even the tiniest particles. Afterward, ensure that the HVAC system is properly serviced and maintained to prevent future issues.

In the meantime, consider using air purifiers with activated carbon and HEPA filters in your bedroom. This can help reduce allergens and improve overall air quality until you can get a professional inspection and cleaning done.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality isn't just about feeling better; it's crucial for long-term health. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you need more information or assistance with your concerns.
