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 dampness and stiffness be my concern?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness in my bedroom near the balcony. My mother-in-law has been staying with us for a few weeks now, and she mentioned that her knee feels stiff after walking around the apartment. We’ve lived here for 2 years and just noticed how musty it is down there. Should I be concerned about cleaning or is this something my landlord should handle?

Absolutely, those symptoms could be worth addressing! In the UAE, especially in areas like Dubai where we experience occasional heavy rains, dampness and mustiness can become an issue. It's crucial to consider your health as well as that of your mother-in-law who may be more susceptible to discomfort due to her age.

Firstly, it’s important to understand the potential risks associated with damp conditions. Moisture in buildings can lead to the growth of mold which can cause respiratory issues and exacerbate existing health conditions like asthma or arthritis. In Dubai's warm climate, such problems can worsen quickly if left unaddressed.

Given that you've noticed a musty smell especially down near the balcony area after rain, I'd recommend taking immediate action. Here are some steps:

1. Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation in your bedroom and throughout the apartment to reduce moisture levels. Open windows when weather permits but keep an eye on any condensation forming.

2. Cleaning: Regularly clean areas prone to dampness such as near windows, corners, and behind furniture. Use a mold cleaner if you spot any signs of mold growth.

3. Drying: Make sure your mother-in-law’s bedroom is adequately dried after she leaves or goes out. Moisture can build up quickly in unused spaces.

4. Consultation: If the dampness persists despite these efforts, it might be wise to call in a professional for an inspection. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer expert mold inspections and remediation services. You can reach them at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, your health is paramount, so don’t hesitate to take proactive steps! Also, while landlords have responsibilities in maintaining properties, it's always good to communicate with yours regarding any issues you notice.
