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 due to family coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a persistent cough among family members, especially in our master bedroom. The air feels thick and stale, even with the AC on high. Given how long this has been going on, should I prioritize duct cleaning right away or can it wait?

Absolutely, it sounds like the dust storm last month could be to blame for the lingering coughs and stale air. In Dubai, where we frequently experience such storms, it's quite common to find a significant amount of dust and debris accumulating within your HVAC system.

First things first, I'd recommend having an expert inspection done. A professional can assess the extent of damage from the storm and check if there are other issues contributing to poor indoor air quality (IAQ). In the UAE, especially in Dubai, regulations and standards for indoor environments might not be as stringent as you find in some other regions, so it's crucial to ensure your system is up to local health and safety guidelines.

Duct cleaning can definitely help. Dirty ducts are a breeding ground for allergens, mold spores, and bacteria. With the master bedroom being affected, it’s possible that these irritants are being circulated throughout the house, causing those persistent coughs. Regular maintenance of your HVAC system is key to maintaining good IAQ.

Here are some steps you might consider:

1. Contact a Professional: You can reach out to us at 800-MOLDS (or email hello@saniservice.com) for a comprehensive inspection and cleaning service. We have experience dealing with post-storm scenarios in Dubai and can offer tailored solutions.

2. HVAC System Check: Make sure your entire HVAC system is clean, including the ducts, air filters, and vents. This will not only improve air quality but also boost efficiency of your AC unit.

3. Air Filtration: Consider upgrading to a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter which can capture even smaller particles that contribute to poor IAQ.

4. Regular Maintenance: Set up a regular maintenance schedule for your HVAC system. In Dubai, it’s recommended at least once or twice a year depending on use and environmental conditions.

5. Air Quality Monitoring: If possible, install an air quality monitor to track the levels of pollutants in your home. This can help you identify when IAQ issues arise before they worsen.

Remember, taking action sooner rather than later is often beneficial in maintaining good indoor health. Don’t hesitate to give us a call at 800-MOLDS for more advice or to schedule an appointment. Let's get those coughs under control!
