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 the central system myself or hire pros?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, the central cleaning system in my penthouse has been making a lot of noise and blowing dirt everywhere. It’s quite concerning, especially since it’s barely been two years old. Should I consider hiring professionals to clean it or is there something basic I can do myself?

Cleaning your central system can indeed be quite a task and given the recent dust storms that have affected the UAE, it's understandable why you're concerned. In Dubai, we've seen a significant increase in such issues due to the weather conditions.

Firstly, i would recommend having the system inspected by professionals. The fact that your system is only two years old but is making noise and blowing dirt could indicate serious issues like worn-out components or even some blockages. This isn't something you'd want to tackle yourself without proper knowledge of the system and its components.

In Dubai, it's also important to comply with local building regulations which may require regular inspections and maintenance for such systems. If there are any doubts about your system's performance, a professional can help ensure that everything is up to code and that your space remains safe and healthy.

If you decide to go the DIY route, here are some basic steps:

1. Turn off the power supply to the system to avoid any electrical hazards.
2. Check if there are filters in place; they usually need cleaning or replacing every 3-6 months depending on usage.
3. For the indoor units, use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to gently clean the dust collection areas. Be careful not to damage any components.
4. If you notice significant dirt accumulation in your ducts, it might be best to hire someone who has the right equipment and expertise.

However, for a thorough cleaning or if you're unsure about what's going on, calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com would be a wise move. They can provide expert advice and services tailored to your needs in Dubai.

Remember, maintaining indoor air quality is crucial, especially after such dusty weather events. If the issue persists even with basic cleaning, professional intervention is definitely recommended.
