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 storms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had a couple of weeks ago, I noticed a layer of grit on the floor of my living room near the vents. My kids haven't been sick before, but now they’ve started coughing more than usual. Should I consider having the ducts cleaned professionally or is it just something that happens in this part of Dubai? What can be expected in terms of cost and how often should we plan to have them serviced?

Absolutely, considering the recent dust storms, it's wise to think about having your ducts cleaned. The grit you've noticed on the floor near vents is a clear sign that your system could be carrying more than just air. In dubai and the UAE, we frequently face such conditions where wind-blown sand and dust can accumulate in HVAC systems. This not only affects indoor air quality but also impacts the efficiency of your units.

Firstly, it's important to understand that duct cleaning is recommended as part of regular maintenance for all households. However, after a severe storm like those we've had, the need becomes more pressing. The UAE has no specific regulations mandating duct cleaning frequency, so it really comes down to observing signs and consulting with professionals.

Cleaning your ducts can significantly improve indoor air quality, reducing dust, allergens, and other irritants that might be affecting your family's health. Your kids' coughing could very well be linked to the increased presence of these particles in your home's air. A professional inspection and cleaning will ensure that your HVAC system is functioning at its best.

Expect costs for duct cleaning to vary based on size and complexity of your ductwork, but it usually falls within a reasonable range. You can get quotes from companies like Saniservice who specialize in this area. They offer services that include thorough cleaning, inspection, and sometimes even odor removal if necessary. Their hotline is 800-MOLDS or you can email them at hello@saniservice.com for more info.

As a general rule of thumb, consider having your ducts cleaned every 3 to 5 years, with more frequent cleanings in areas prone to high dust and allergen levels like Dubai. This will not only keep the air fresher but also extend the life of your HVAC system by reducing strain on components that work harder when dirty.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for health, especially during seasons where storms are common. So do consider having a professional come in to assess and clean your ducts if you've noticed any unusual dust or symptoms like coughing.
