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 poor duct cleaning causing my symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I’ve noticed a persistent cough and itchy eyes whenever I’m in my bedroom. The AC unit there seems to kick up a lot of debris and it’s making the air feel really dirty. Could this be from poor duct cleaning? What should I do about it?

Dust storms can indeed bring in a lot of particulate matter that could find its way into your HVAC system and ductwork. In the UAE, especially in areas like Dubai, where we've had such severe dust events, it's not uncommon for these particles to accumulate within the ducts, leading to issues like the ones you're experiencing.

Persistent coughing and itchy eyes can definitely be related to poor air quality in your home. The AC unit kicking up a lot of debris points towards a potential issue with your ductwork. In Dubai, as per the UAE Building Code (UAE-BC), regular maintenance and cleaning of HVAC systems are highly recommended to ensure proper air quality.

First step would be to inspect your ducts yourself for visible signs like dust or dirt accumulation. However, if you suspect that this is causing a serious issue, it's best to call in professional services such as 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for an inspection and cleaning.

Professional duct cleaning can significantly improve the air quality of your home. They use specialized equipment like vacuum trucks and brushes to thoroughly clean the entire system, including the ducts, filters, and registers. This process not only removes dust but also kills bacteria and mold, which could be contributing factors to your symptoms.

Afterwards, consider installing a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter in your AC unit. These filters can capture even very small particles that might have been missed during the duct cleaning.

Lastly, maintain good indoor air quality by regular maintenance of your HVAC system, ensuring the vents are cleaned periodically and checking for any signs of mold or dampness which could lead to further issues.

Remember, a clean and well-maintained HVAC system not only improves comfort but also helps in reducing energy costs. If you're unsure about what steps to take next, don't hesitate to contact professionals who can guide you through the process.
