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 ducts due to kids' cough?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, we’ve noticed a persistent cough among our children when they spend time in the living room. The air feels stuffy even with the AC running. Given that it’s been two years since the ducts were cleaned here, I’m really concerned about any potential allergens or mold that might have accumulated. Has anyone had similar issues and what did you do to address them?

Absolutely, it's wise to consider duct cleaning. The dust storm sounds like the perfect condition for debris and allergens to get into your ductwork, and it could be causing those uncomfortable symptoms you mentioned about your children. In Dubai and the UAE, regulations regarding indoor air quality are becoming more stringent due to the hot climate and frequent sandstorms.

Given that it's been two years since your last cleaning, it’s quite possible that dust, mold spores, and other allergens have accumulated within your ductwork. This can definitely affect the air quality in your home, especially when the HVAC system is running—like during those times when you feel the AC isn't doing its job effectively.

Before jumping straight into a full cleaning, I'd recommend scheduling an inspection first. A professional can assess if there's actually any buildup that needs to be removed and advise on the best course of action. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer comprehensive duct inspections where they use advanced tools to check for mold, pests, and other contaminants.

Once you've got your inspection results, a thorough cleaning might be in order. Ducts are cleaned using specialized vacuums and brushes that can reach deep into the system to remove accumulated dust and debris. It's also good practice to seal any leaks or gaps found during the inspection process as this will help improve overall air quality.

Afterwards, consider getting your HVAC system serviced as well. Regular maintenance on your AC units ensures they’re running efficiently and effectively, which in turn improves indoor air quality by filtering out more contaminants from the air before it circulates through your home.

Lastly, don’t forget about maintaining good indoor hygiene practices like regular vacuuming, dusting, and ensuring proper ventilation to reduce allergens. And if you notice any worsening symptoms or unusual odors, be sure to contact a professional right away for further assessment.
