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 remind my landlord about duct cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a significant increase in dust inside my living room, which has carpeted floors. It’s particularly noticeable when the air conditioning is on full blast. My landlord mentioned that it's his responsibility to clean the ducts, but I’m not sure if he’s going to do it or how often they should be cleaned. Should I bring this up with him again or just assume it’s part of regular maintenance?

Yes, it's wise to bring up the duct cleaning with your landlord. In the UAE, particularly Dubai, indoor air quality can significantly impact health and comfort, especially after weather events like dust storms which are quite common here. The dust you're noticing could be due to uncleaned or improperly maintained HVAC systems.

UAE regulations do not mandate regular duct cleaning intervals but recommend it as part of routine maintenance for good indoor air quality (IAQ). Given the recent storm and the noticeable increase in dust, it might be a good idea to have your ducts inspected by a professional. This will help ensure that any potential issues are addressed and prevent future problems.

A professional inspection can also reveal other hidden concerns such as mold growth or pest infestations which could further affect air quality and overall health. If the inspection finds significant issues, it's crucial for the landlord to address them promptly.

To proceed, you might want to suggest that your landlord contacts a reputable company specializing in HVAC maintenance and duct cleaning services. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer reliable and efficient duct cleaning solutions tailored to local conditions.

Remember, regular maintenance can prevent costly repairs down the line. It's also worth noting that while dust storms are common, maintaining good indoor air quality is essential for everyone’s health, especially those with respiratory issues or allergies.

If you decide not to bring it up right away, make sure to keep an eye on your home's air quality and any changes in symptoms like coughing, sneezing, or feeling unwell. These could be signs that action needs to be taken sooner rather than later.
