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 worry about duct cleaning and air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, my son has been complaining of a persistent dry cough, especially at night. The air feels thicker in our bedroom, which is right next to the hallway where they clean the ducts every year. Could this be causing his symptoms? Should I worry about indoor air quality after a thorough duct cleaning?

Absolutely, it's understandable to be concerned about the air quality after duct cleaning. In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, ductwork can accumulate a significant amount of dust, debris, and mold spores over time due to the hot climate and dusty conditions. The recent heavy dust storm could have exacerbated this situation.

Firstly, it’s important to understand that while professional duct cleaning is beneficial for maintaining good indoor air quality (IAQ), there are some potential risks you should consider. Dust and particles can be stirred up during the process of cleaning the ducts, which might temporarily affect the air inside your home. This could explain why the air in your bedroom feels thicker, especially when it's near where they clean the ducts.

However, the key here is to ensure that the cleaning was done properly by a licensed and certified professional. In the UAE, regulations like those from the Dubai Municipality or Abu Dhabi Environment Agency specify that companies must adhere to certain standards for duct cleaning services. A reputable company will use HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters during the process, which can help capture fine particles and reduce the chances of them being released into your home.

Given your son’s symptoms, it would be wise to monitor his condition closely. If the cough persists or worsens, especially at night, you might want to consider scheduling a professional indoor air quality inspection. This will give you a detailed assessment of the current state of your home's air and help identify any underlying issues that may need addressing.

In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer comprehensive IAQ assessments. They can use advanced equipment such as air samplers and thermal imaging cameras to check for issues like mold growth or other contaminants. If necessary, they also provide remediation services to address any problems found.

Remember, it’s always better to be proactive about your family's health. If you decide to go ahead with an inspection, contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email them at hello@saniservice.com for more information and to book a service.

Stay informed and take action when needed to ensure the best possible air quality in your home.
