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 vents or hire professionals?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms last month, I noticed a lot of debris accumulated in the vents of my second-floor apartment. My partner thinks it might be causing the persistent coughing we’ve been experiencing lately. Should I hire professional duct cleaners or is there an easier DIY solution? Any advice on cost ranges or what to look for in a professional would be greatly appreciated.

Absolutely, it's wise to consider both options before making your decision. Given the dust storms we experienced and the persistent coughing you're dealing with, cleaning the vents might be a good interim step but hiring professionals could provide a more thorough solution.

Firstly, let's talk about DIY methods. If you decide to tackle this yourself, it involves carefully removing the vent covers, vacuuming or brushing out any visible debris from inside the ducts and vents, and then reattaching them. However, keep in mind that Dubai's regulations emphasize safety and health, especially concerning air quality. The UAE doesn't have a specific law mandating regular duct cleaning but does recommend it as part of routine maintenance to avoid airborne contaminants.

If you choose to hire professionals, here are some key points:
• Ensure they're licensed and certified by relevant authorities in the UAE.
• Ask for references or testimonials from previous clients.
• Check their equipment. They should use HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) vacuums to capture fine particles.
• Inquire about their experience dealing with storm-related debris.
• Look at their safety measures, especially regarding dust and allergen containment.

DIY might seem like a cost-effective option, but professional duct cleaning can be more effective in removing stubborn debris. A professional clean typically costs between dirhams 300 to 1000 for an average-sized home, depending on the extent of the work needed. This price range is reflective of what you'd likely encounter in Dubai.

Remember, if your symptoms persist or worsen after DIY cleaning, it’s best to consult a professional and possibly an occupational health expert to rule out any serious issues related to air quality.
