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 ducts after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a few weeks ago, I noticed a lot of debris stuck in the grills and vents around my living room. My concern is whether this could be causing respiratory issues for our family or simply making the air quality worse. Given that we’ve lived here for 2 years and just noticed this, should I consider hiring professionals to clean the ducts? What would be a typical cost range in Dubai for such a service?

Absolutely, cleaning the ducts after a dust storm is highly recommended. The recent storm sounds like it could have left quite an amount of particulate matter lodged within your home’s HVAC system and ductwork. This can indeed affect air quality and potentially impact respiratory health, especially for those with sensitivities or allergies.

In Dubai, such storms are not uncommon due to its geographical location and climate conditions. The dust and debris that get trapped in the vents and grills can be a mix of sand particles, pollen, mold spores, and other allergens. These contaminants can circulate throughout your home when the HVAC system is running, leading to poor indoor air quality.

Given you’ve noticed significant debris even after two years, it’s a good idea to have a professional inspection and cleaning done. The UAE has no specific regulation mandating duct cleaning but it's always wise to ensure that your systems are clean for optimal performance and health benefits.

Professional duct cleaners will use advanced tools like vacuums with HEPA filters and specialized brushes to remove these contaminants from the vents, registers, and ductwork. This not only improves air quality but can also increase energy efficiency by ensuring the system operates more effectively.

The cost of duct cleaning in Dubai varies widely depending on the size of your home and the extent of work required. On average, you might expect to pay anywhere between AED 1000 to AED 3000 for a thorough clean. This is just an estimate as prices can fluctuate based on several factors.

I'd advise reaching out to local service providers like Saniservice who offer these services in the area. They would be able to assess your specific situation and provide you with a quote. Don't hesitate to ask about their credentials, equipment used, and any warranties they might offer.

In the meantime, try to keep vents and filters clean by regularly wiping them down or replacing air filters as recommended by the manufacturer—usually every 30-90 days depending on usage.

Remember, breathing in dust and other particulates can lead to respiratory issues. If you notice any changes in your family's health after the storm, consider a medical check-up alongside having your ducts cleaned.
