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.

Is damp smell after storm harmful?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy storm last month, I noticed a strange damp smell lingering in my living room, even after cleaning everything. The AC seems to be running overtime too, but it doesn’t seem to clear the air as well as it used to. Have others experienced similar issues with indoor air quality after storms? What could be causing this and how can I improve the situation?

Hey there! The damp smell you're noticing after the storm sounds like it could be related to humidity levels and potential moisture issues which are quite common post-storms here in dubai. It's not uncommon for folks to experience similar issues, especially given our climate.

In the UAE, especially during heavy storms or even just high humidity periods, there can be an increase in moisture content that leads to damp odors. This could stem from several sources such as water intrusion into walls, floors, or even HVAC systems. In your case it sounds like it might be affecting your living room and causing issues with the air conditioning too.

The good news is that addressing this isn't overly complex but does require some attention. Start by checking for any visible signs of water damage or moisture around window areas, door frames, or behind furniture. If you notice anything unusual, it's wise to get a professional inspection as per UAE building codes and regulations.

To improve the situation:
• Ensure your AC is functioning properly and consider having a check-up with an HVAC expert
• Improve ventilation by opening windows during dry periods (just make sure it's not too windy)
• Use dehumidifiers if you find that moisture levels are high
• Seal any gaps or cracks where water could enter
• Clean your air ducts to remove any accumulated dust and mold spores

Remember, in case the smell persists despite these steps, it might be a good idea to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for further assistance. They can provide detailed inspections and remediation if necessary.

Taking action now will help maintain better indoor air quality and prevent potential health issues linked with mold growth or other airborne contaminants that could arise from prolonged moisture exposure in your home.
