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 my ductwork due to recent dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a lot of dirt accumulating in the vents around the living room. My family has been experiencing more coughs and sniffles lately, and I wonder if it could be due to poor air quality from the dirty ducts. Given that we’ve lived here for two years, is it worth hiring professionals to clean our ductwork? What should I expect in terms of cost and process?

Absolutely, it's a good idea to consider cleaning your ductwork after the dust storm. In dubai and UAE, the weather can be quite drastic, especially during dust storms. The accumulation of dirt, dust, and other particulates can indeed affect indoor air quality significantly, leading to respiratory issues like coughs and sniffles among family members.

In our experience, it’s common for residents in the area to notice a difference in their home's air quality after such weather events. The UAE doesn't have strict regulations specifically mandating duct cleaning, but given that you've lived here for two years and are now noticing these issues, it might be worth having your system inspected by professionals.

The process of duct cleaning can vary depending on the company, but typically involves a thorough inspection to identify areas with significant buildup. Following this, they would use specialized equipment like vacuum cleaners and brushes to remove debris from the ductwork. They may also use air blowers to ensure all passages are clean.

Costs for duct cleaning can range based on several factors including the size of your home, the extent of contamination, and any additional services you might need such as a professional inspection or HVAC system checkup. In Dubai, prices could start from around AED 1500 to AED 3000 for an average-sized house.

Given that your family has been experiencing health issues post-storm, it’s best to act now and not wait until the next one hits. Professional services are typically reliable and can provide a clear report on the state of your ductwork.

If you decide to proceed, we strongly recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for an appointment. Our team is experienced in dealing with such cases and can ensure that your home’s air quality returns to its best condition.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality isn't just about feeling better – it's also crucial for long-term health benefits. So, don’t hesitate to take action!
