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 and mold causing poor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a weird damp smell lingering in my bedroom closet. It's gotten worse over time, especially during the cooler evenings. My kids have been complaining of sneezing and runny noses, which made me wonder if it might be due to mold or poor air circulation. Could there be an issue with indoor air quality in this part of Dubai, and what should I do about it?

Yeah, it's definitely possible that the damp smell and mold could be causing poor air quality. In the UAE like Dubai, post-rain conditions can create humid environments which are prime for mold growth. Mold thrives in moist, warm areas, which sounds like what your closet is experiencing.

The UAE has no specific regulations related to indoor air quality, but maintaining a healthy environment is crucial especially with such complaints from your kids regarding sneezing and runny noses. This could indicate that the mold spores or dampness are causing allergic reactions or other respiratory issues.

To address this, I'd recommend professional inspection right away by calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com. They can assess your home for mold and ensure proper remediation if needed. While you wait, try to improve air circulation in the closet with a fan or dehumidifier. Keep windows closed during rainy periods to prevent moisture from entering.

Additionally, make sure to clean any visible water damage or standing water promptly. Mold can start growing within 24-48 hours of exposure to moisture, so quick action is important. Regular maintenance and keeping areas like closets dry could help in preventing such issues in the future.

Don't delay, as addressing mold quickly not only improves indoor air quality but also prevents potential structural damage from prolonged water exposure.
