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 smell in storage room?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell coming from the storage room in my rented office space. It’s only about 10 square meters and there are old boxes of papers stacked up against the walls. Should I be concerned about this moldy smell, or is it part of regular office maintenance that the landlord is responsible for?

Absolutely! In the UAE, especially within the context of Dubai, maintaining indoor air quality is paramount. A persistent damp smell coming from your storage room can indeed indicate a mold issue and should be taken seriously. Mold growth can occur when moisture levels are high, which seems to be the case here given the recent rain.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, buildings can face challenges with humidity due to the climate as well as structural issues like leaks or inadequate ventilation. The storage room you described sounds like a perfect environment for mold to thrive—old boxes of papers against walls create barriers that trap moisture and reduce air circulation.

Molds are not just an unpleasant smell; they can cause health issues, especially for individuals with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions. Moreover, prolonged exposure to damp environments may lead to structural damage over time, which is costly to repair.

Given the specific situation in your office space, it's crucial to address this issue promptly. I would strongly advise you to contact a professional environmental inspection and remediation company, such as Saniservice, for an assessment. They can provide a thorough examination of the storage room and ensure that any mold present is properly identified and treated.

If you decide to reach out to them, consider using their hotline 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information. Remember, it's always better to be proactive in addressing such issues to avoid potential health risks and costly repairs down the line.

In the meantime, you can take some basic steps:
1. Ensure good ventilation by opening windows if weather permits.
2. Try to keep the storage area as dry as possible—use dehumidifiers or fans if necessary.
3. If possible, move some of the boxes away from walls for better air flow and reduce moisture accumulation.

However, these measures are temporary solutions. A professional inspection will provide peace of mind and a permanent fix. Don't hesitate to act; mold issues can worsen quickly without proper attention.
