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 air ducts for my kids' health?« Back to Previous Page

My kids have been sneezing a lot lately, and I've noticed that the air in our living room feels really dusty, even after I vacuum. We’ve lived in our apartment in Jumeirah for about three years, and I can’t remember the last time we had the ducts cleaned. With the air conditioning running constantly, especially during the hot months, I’m worried that the dust might be affecting their health. Is it worth getting the ducts cleaned, and how often should it really be done to keep the air safe for my family?

Cleaning your air ducts is indeed a worthwhile consideration, especially given your concerns about your children's health and the indoor air quality in your apartment. In the UAE, where dust and particulate matter are prevalent due to the desert environment, maintaining clean air ducts can significantly improve the air quality within your home.

Over time, dust, allergens, and other particulates can accumulate in your air ducts, particularly when the air conditioning system is running continuously during the hot months. This buildup not only affects the efficiency of your HVAC system but can also lead to respiratory issues, especially in sensitive individuals like children.

The UAE does not have a specific regulation mandating duct cleaning intervals; however, industry best practices recommend having ducts cleaned every 3 to 5 years, or sooner if you notice signs of dust buildup or if anyone in your household has respiratory issues. Since you've lived in your apartment for three years without a duct cleaning, it may be time to consider having them inspected and cleaned.

A professional inspection can help determine the extent of the problem. If you notice increased sneezing, allergy symptoms, or a persistent layer of dust settling in your living room, these could be signs that your ducts are in need of cleaning. A professional will not only clean the ducts but can also inspect for other potential issues, such as mold growth or pest infestations, which can further compromise indoor air quality.

When selecting a duct cleaning service, ensure that they are certified and experienced in dealing with the specific challenges posed by the UAE environment. Look for companies that follow the guidelines set by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) and use environmentally friendly cleaning methods.

If you're ready to take action for the health of your family, consider reaching out to a professional service. You can call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation. Taking these steps can help ensure that your indoor environment is safe and comfortable for your children.
