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.

Hey there! I'm glad you reached out about your concerns regarding duct cleaning in an adjacent apartment. First off, don't worry too much. Duct cleaning is a common practice and typically doesn't pose a significant risk to your unit directly. However, it's always good to stay informed and take some precautions.

In the UAE, especially in Dubai, building codes and environmental regulations are quite stringent. While ducts are usually designed to maintain air quality within each unit, there can be instances where cross-contamination might occur due to system design or maintenance issues. It’s crucial to ensure that your HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system is functioning properly.

Firstly, I'd recommend checking if the neighboring apartment's duct cleaning was performed by a certified professional in compliance with local standards. The Abu Dhabi Environment Agency (EDA) and Dubai Municipality have specific guidelines for maintenance and cleaning of HVAC systems to ensure they meet environmental quality standards. You can check if the service provider has the necessary certifications.

Secondly, review your own unit’s ductwork and air filters regularly. If you notice any unusual smells, increased dust, or poor airflow, it might be a good idea to call in an expert for an inspection. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice are well-regarded for their expertise in this area.

Lastly, while not directly related to the ducts, ensure that your apartment’s ventilation system is working efficiently. Open windows occasionally if possible and use exhaust fans properly to help circulate fresh air.

If you're still concerned or if any of these issues persist, it's best to contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. They can provide a professional inspection and ensure that your living environment remains safe and healthy.

Remember, regular maintenance is key in maintaining good indoor air quality. Hope this helps!
