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' coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a strange smell lingering in the hallway near our children’s room. The AC in my apartment seems to be sucking up all that dirt again. My kids have been coughing more frequently lately, especially after they’ve been playing there. Should I consider having the ducts cleaned?

Absolutely, it's wise to consider duct cleaning especially after such dust storms. The strange smell and increased coughing are clear indicators that the air quality might be a concern for your family. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we often experience high levels of particulate matter due to sandstorms like the one you mentioned. This can easily get trapped in your HVAC system's ductwork.

When dust, dirt, and other allergens accumulate in the ducts, they can contribute to respiratory issues, especially for children. The coughing episodes post-playing could be linked to these irritants being circulated by the AC system.

In Dubai and UAE in general, local building codes do not specifically mandate regular duct cleaning; however, it's a practice recommended by HVAC experts to ensure optimal air quality and system efficiency. It’s always a good idea to get a professional inspection done first, as they can assess your specific situation and recommend if cleaning is necessary.

Given the recent events and symptoms you've described, I would definitely recommend having your ducts inspected and cleaned. This will help reduce allergens and improve indoor air quality in your apartment. You might want to consider consulting with a reputable company like Saniservice who offer professional HVAC maintenance services tailored for the local climate conditions.

Remember, regular maintenance can prevent costly repairs down the line as well as ensure a healthier environment for you and your family. If you do decide to go ahead, be sure to choose an experienced contractor that adheres to best practices in the industry. Saniservice provides reliable and effective solutions with their 800-MOLDS hotline or by emailing hello@saniservice.com.

It’s not just about cleaning either; it's also important to ensure your HVAC system is properly maintained and filtered. High efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters can be particularly beneficial in capturing smaller particles that regular filters might miss. Make sure to change these regularly as per the manufacturer's guidelines or as recommended by your HVAC service provider.

Take care of your family’s health, don’t hesitate to act now!
