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 ductwork causing my child's cough?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last week, I’ve been noticing a persistent cough in my child’s room. The air feels thick and stuffy, especially at night. It’s on the second floor near the HVAC unit, where I suspect some of the vents might be blocked or not working properly. Could this be related to issues with our ducts?

Hello there! It does sound concerning that your child is experiencing persistent coughing and the air feels thick in their room. In Dubai and across the UAE, we often face challenges like dust storms which can contribute to such issues. The location of your room on the second floor near the HVAC unit could indeed be a point of concern.

Ductwork can sometimes get clogged with debris, especially after dust events or from years of use without proper maintenance. This could lead to poor airflow and stagnant air in certain areas of your home. The thick feeling in the air might indicate that air isn't circulating properly which can increase humidity levels and allow mold growth - something we need to be mindful of here.

To accurately diagnose if your ducts are causing these issues, a professional inspection would be advisable. The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and HVAC systems, so it's important to ensure compliance. The UAE Council for Accredited Laboratories and Environmental Services can provide guidelines on what should be checked during such an inspection.

I recommend contacting our company at 800-MOLDS or emailing us at hello@saniservice.com. We offer professional duct cleaning services and IEQ assessments that comply with local regulations. Our team will inspect your ductwork, identify any blockages or areas of concern, and provide solutions to improve airflow and reduce the risk of mold growth.

In the meantime, consider checking if there are visible signs of damage on your ducts or vents, like leaks or loose connections, which might be contributing to poor air quality. Also, ensure that you're using a HEPA filter in any air purifiers you have to help capture fine particles and allergens.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for both comfort and health, especially in our climate. A professional assessment can provide peace of mind and actionable steps to improve your home's environment.
