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 we clean the ducts to avoid coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I’ve noticed a persistent cough in both my daughter and myself whenever we’re near our bedroom. The windows of that room face directly towards the alley behind our apartment building, which has some older, dirtier-looking houses. Given how well our air conditioning system is, it seems strange that it would still be spreading dust. Should I consider having the ducts cleaned?

Absolutely, duct cleaning might be something to consider. Dust storms can certainly kick up some nasty stuff that gets sucked into your HVAC system and then distributed throughout the apartment. In the UAE, particularly Dubai, our climate and geographic location mean we're often at risk of such events. Given the symptoms you've described, it's not out of line to suspect that dust particles might be the culprit.

In the UAE, there are no specific regulations mandating duct cleaning frequency, but if your system has been running regularly for a while or if you notice unusual changes in air quality, it’s always wise to have a professional inspection. This will help ensure that any issues related to the ductwork aren't being overlooked and could potentially lead to health concerns like coughing.

Professional inspectors can use advanced tools to check the condition of your ducts, identify any mold growth (which is more common in our humid climate), or simply confirm if dust is accumulating excessively. The presence of older, dirtier-looking houses near your windows does increase the likelihood that outdoor debris could be getting sucked into your system.

I would recommend contacting a professional service like Saniservice for an inspection. They can provide a detailed report and suggest any necessary cleaning or maintenance work. You can reach them at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an appointment.

While it may seem counterintuitive that your air conditioning system is still spreading dust, it's a possibility and worth investigating. After all, the last thing you want is for everyone in the house to be dealing with respiratory issues!

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, especially when there are factors like recent dust storms at play. So do not delay; getting your ducts checked could make a significant difference in alleviating those pesky coughs and improving overall comfort in your home.
