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 old AC?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a lot of dirt and debris accumulating on the windowsills in our living room. My son has also been complaining of a persistent cough that seems to get worse at night. Given that our air conditioning system is quite old, I'm worried it might be the source of these issues. Should I consider getting the ducts cleaned?

Absolutely, considering the age of your air conditioning system and the recent dust storm, it's wise to think about having your ducts cleaned. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, our climate can be quite harsh, leading to frequent dust accumulation and other airborne particulates that might enter your home through open windows or even through small gaps in the building envelope.

Having an old AC system can definitely increase the chances of such issues as it may not efficiently filter out all the debris from the air. It's possible that the dust you're seeing on your window sills is just a sign of what’s circulating within your home. Persistent coughs, especially at night, could be linked to poor indoor air quality caused by dust and other allergens.

Given the specifics of your situation, I would strongly recommend a professional inspection first. Local regulations might not mandate it but it's always good practice when dealing with potential health issues. Companies like Saniservice (you can contact them via 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) offer reliable duct cleaning services and can provide you with the necessary assessment.

Duct cleaning in Dubai involves more than just a quick sweep; it requires specialized equipment to ensure thorough removal of debris, mold spores, dust mites, and other contaminants. The process typically includes vacuuming, brushing, or using high-pressure air jets to dislodge accumulated dirt from the ductwork, followed by sanitization to prevent microbial growth.

While you're considering this, also check if your AC units are properly maintained. Dirty filters can exacerbate issues with indoor air quality and might need replacement or cleaning as well. Ensuring that all vents and grills are free of obstructions is important too – blocked systems can lead to uneven airflow and increased dust circulation.

Taking these steps now could significantly improve the air quality in your home, making it more comfortable for you and your family, especially if anyone has respiratory concerns like your son. Don’t hesitate to take action; a few hours spent ensuring clean ducts might just make a big difference in everyone's health!
