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.

Should I clean AC ducts to avoid symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm that hit Dubai, we've noticed a lot of fine dust settling on everything. My kids have been complaining about itchy throats and runny noses, especially after they play in the living room near the vents. The AC unit is quite old and hasn't been cleaned since we moved in two years ago. Could this be causing their symptoms? How often should I get the ducts cleaned to ensure our family's health?

Absolutely! The recent dust storm certainly can cause an increase in airborne particulates that might be aggravating your kids' symptoms. In the UAE, especially during such weather events, it's really important to keep a close eye on indoor air quality. Old AC systems like yours could indeed be contributing to this issue.

In Dubai and other parts of the Emirates, there are no specific regulations mandating duct cleaning frequency, but as a general rule-of-thumb, it is recommended to clean your HVAC system every 2-3 years for optimal performance and health. This can help reduce allergens, dust mites, and other irritants that can cause respiratory issues especially in kids.

Given the symptoms your children are experiencing, I would recommend scheduling a professional inspection of your ductwork. Dust storms can deposit significant amounts of fine particulate matter into your ventilation system, and an old AC unit might not be filtering it out effectively. A professional inspection will also allow for a thorough clean that could alleviate some of those uncomfortable symptoms.

When choosing a service provider, look for companies like Saniservice who specialize in indoor environmental quality management. They can provide you with a detailed report on the condition of your system and recommend any necessary cleaning or maintenance.

If you decide to go ahead, don't forget to schedule regular maintenance moving forward. Depending on how often dust storms occur in your area, you might want to consider more frequent cleanings to keep air quality as optimal as possible for everyone's health.

Remember, keeping the air we breathe clean and free from allergens is crucial. So, take action now by contacting 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection today!
