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 be worried about mold in my closet?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a lingering dampness in my bedroom closet, even though it hadn’t rained for days. My son has also been complaining of a persistent cough that seems to worsen at night when we sleep there. The AC is set to high humidity during these humid months and hasn’t seemed to help much with the moisture. Should I be concerned about mold or other indoor air issues, and do I have any responsibility in addressing this within my rental?

Absolutely you should be concerned about the possibility of mold growth in your closet. Mold thrives in damp and humid environments, and given that you've noticed a lingering dampness along with your son's coughing issues, it’s crucial to address this promptly.

In the UAE, particularly during the rainy season or when AC systems struggle to control humidity levels, indoor air quality can significantly deteriorate. According to Dubai Municipality, maintaining indoor relative humidity between 30-60% is ideal for preventing mold growth and other airborne contaminants. Your current AC settings are pushing the boundaries of that range, likely contributing to the dampness in your closet.

Mold spores can cause a variety of health issues, especially for children and those with respiratory conditions or allergies. The persistent coughing your son experiences might be linked to the mold exposure you're witnessing. Long-term exposure to mold could lead to more severe health problems, making it essential to act now.

Given the severity and frequency of the problem, I recommend having a professional inspection done. This will not only help identify if there's active mold growth but also pinpoint other potential issues like water leaks or inadequate ventilation that might be contributing to this situation. In Dubai, companies such as Saniservice offer reliable mold testing and remediation services.

If you're renting, it’s your responsibility to bring these concerns to the landlord's attention. A good place to start is by sending a formal notice outlining the conditions in the closet, including photos or videos of the moisture levels. Be sure to keep copies for your records. If necessary, you can seek legal advice on how to handle such situations under UAE tenant laws.

Remember, it’s better to be proactive and address these issues early before they escalate into more serious problems. Don’t hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you need immediate assistance.
