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 this fog from poor ductwork or mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent storm that hit our area last week, I noticed a strange foggy mist coming from the vents in the children's bedroom. It’s not like anything I’ve ever seen before—it’s almost like there are tiny particles floating in the air when the AC is on. This has been going on for about three days now, and it’s making me worried about their health. Is this a sign of poor ductwork or something more serious?

Is This Fog From Poor Ductwork Or Mold?

It sounds like you're experiencing an unusual situation in your children's bedroom. The foggy mist coming from the vents could be caused by a few different factors, including poor ductwork or even mold growth. Given that it’s been ongoing for three days and considering the recent storm we've had here in Dubai, it would be prudent to investigate further.

In the UAE, particularly Dubai, we're not immune to issues like this due to our climate conditions and construction practices. Poorly sealed or damaged ductwork can allow moisture to enter your HVAC system, leading to condensation when the air conditioner is turned on. This could explain the fog you’re seeing. However, if there's mold involved, it’s a more serious concern as it can affect indoor air quality and pose health risks.

To accurately determine the cause, I'd recommend having a professional inspection done by one of our companies like Saniservice. We specialize in environmental inspections and remediation services here in Dubai, ensuring that your home is safe for you and your family. Our team will conduct thorough testing to identify if there are any issues with ductwork or mold growth.

In the meantime, it’s important not to ignore this issue. Mold can grow quickly under certain conditions, so prompt action is necessary. If you suspect mold, avoid touching or disturbing the area as this could spread spores and worsen the situation. Also, keep an eye on your children's health; if they start experiencing symptoms like coughing, runny nose, or breathing difficulties, seek medical advice immediately.

You can reach us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation. Remember, early detection and action are key to maintaining good indoor air quality in your home.
