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 mold in my closet?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a lingering damp smell in my bedroom closet. It's only gotten worse over the past few days, even with the dehumidifier running constantly. My kids have been complaining of itchy throats and coughs too. Is this a common issue here, or should I be concerned about mold or other indoor air problems?

Yes, you should definitely be concerned about mold in your closet. In dubai, high humidity and wet conditions can indeed lead to the growth of mold, especially if there's been a recent rainfall or water intrusion. The persistent damp smell and symptoms reported by your kids are strong indicators that mold may have started to form.

UAE regulations require building owners to maintain indoor air quality and prevent moisture-related issues. While dehumidifiers help mitigate humidity, they might not be enough in cases where there's already a significant moisture issue. Mold spores can trigger respiratory problems, particularly in children, leading to coughs, itchy throats, and other allergic reactions.

Given the situation you described, I strongly recommend that you call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an immediate professional inspection. These services are specifically tailored to assess indoor air quality issues like mold growth in Dubai. A certified environmental inspector will be able to identify the source of moisture and determine if there's active mold present, providing a detailed report on remediation steps.

In the meantime, you can take some basic measures to reduce moisture and prevent further mold growth:
1. Ensure proper ventilation in your closet by opening windows or using exhaust fans.
2. Place silica gel packs around your belongings as they can absorb excess moisture.
3. Clean the closet with a mixture of water and vinegar; this can help kill existing mold spores.

Remember, addressing this issue early is crucial to protect both your health and property. Mold remediation in Dubai can be complex, so professional assistance is key. Don't delay – act now to ensure you're living in a safe environment.
