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 the storage room?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a moldy smell coming from the storage room of our rental, which is right next to the restaurant where my sister works. It's been there for days now and doesn’t seem to go away no matter how much air we let in or windows we open. Should I be concerned about this, or is it just something temporary?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about the mold situation. Mold growth can pose significant health risks and affect air quality, especially in areas like storage rooms that are often damp due to water ingress from rain or other sources. In Dubai/UAE, we're well aware of the climate's tendency towards humidity, which certainly plays a role here.

According to local regulations, premises must maintain a healthy indoor environment free from mold growth. The UAE Standards and Quality Authority (GSB) and the Department of Municipalities & Environment (DME) both have guidelines that restaurants should adhere to for ensuring clean and safe conditions for their staff and customers. This includes regular inspections and prompt action on any moisture issues.

Given your description, it sounds like water might be seeping into the storage area during rainfall, creating an environment favorable for mold growth. Mold can release spores which can irritate the respiratory system and cause allergic reactions. Long-term exposure to high levels of mold could lead to more severe health issues such as asthma or lung infections.

I would strongly recommend you call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection and remediation. They are experts in dealing with such cases, especially considering the regional climate conditions we face here in Dubai. Their services will ensure that any mold is properly identified and treated to prevent further spread.

In the meantime, while you wait for professionals, here’s what you can do:
• Keep the storage room well ventilated by opening windows as much as possible when it's not raining.
• Use a dehumidifier if available to reduce moisture levels in the air.
• Clean surfaces where mold has been found with a mixture of water and bleach or use products specifically designed for mold removal.

Remember, dealing with mold is crucial both for your health and compliance with local laws. Don't delay addressing this issue; it could worsen over time and affect not only the storage area but other parts of the restaurant too.

Stay proactive, and reach out to professionals as soon as possible.
