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.

Who is responsible for duct cleaning after a dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a significant amount of dust collecting in the vents throughout my apartment, especially in the living room. It's concerning because we’ve lived here for two years and never had this issue before. Should I be responsible for duct cleaning or is it something the landlord should handle?

Duct cleaning after a dust storm is indeed a matter of concern. In the UAE and specifically in Dubai, it's essential to ensure that your indoor environment remains clean and safe. Given the recent weather conditions you described, there are some points worth considering.

Firstly, it’s important to understand that responsibilities can vary depending on your lease agreement or local laws. Generally, in the UAE, landlords are responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of a property including its HVAC systems. However, regular maintenance and cleaning of ducts might fall under tenant's responsibility unless specifically outlined otherwise by the landlord.

Given how significant the dust storm was and the amount it has impacted your living room vents, I would recommend that you bring this matter to your landlord’s attention immediately. A heavy duty cleaning might be necessary to ensure air quality is not compromised for a prolonged period. If your landlord agrees or if they are unresponsive, consider reaching out to a professional duct cleaning service.

In Dubai and the UAE in general, it's advisable to engage with licensed professionals who understand local regulations and have experience dealing with environmental issues related to HVAC systems. They can provide a thorough inspection of your ductwork to ensure no hidden hazards remain after the storm.

Should you decide to proceed with a cleaning, look for companies that are registered with appropriate bodies like ADWS (Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority) if in Abu Dhabi or similar local authority in Dubai. These professionals will have the tools and expertise to safely clean your ducts without causing any damage to them.

Remember, regular maintenance of HVAC systems is crucial not just after a dust storm but as part of general property upkeep. It's also wise to establish a cleaning schedule with your landlord before issues arise.

If you find yourself in a situation where you're unsure about the process or costs involved, feel free to contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for guidance. They can offer you an estimate and walk you through their services.

Taking these steps will help maintain a healthy indoor environment for you and your family, ensuring that dust and other allergens are kept at bay.
