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 a hidden mold growth serious?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell in my bedroom closet. It’s really bothering me because it feels like something moldy is growing behind the walls, but I can’t see anything when I open the doors. The AC seems to circulate this smell throughout the house, and now both my kids are coughing more than usual. How urgent do you think this issue is, and what should I do first?

Yes, hidden mold growth can be pretty serious. In the UAE, especially during the rainy season, humidity levels can soar and create an environment where mold thrives. If left unchecked, it could lead to a myriad of health issues for you and your family.

Firstly, I'd recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. They have the expertise to find hidden mold behind walls and under floors. In Dubai, regulations require that properties be inspected regularly to ensure they are safe for habitation. Mold can release spores into the air which can cause respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and in severe cases, it could exacerbate asthma or lead to other health problems.

In your case, the damp smell in the closet is a clear sign of potential mold growth. It's particularly concerning that the AC seems to be circulating this smell throughout the house. This means the mold spores are likely being spread by the air conditioning system and can end up in every room, not just the bedroom with the closet.

Immediate actions you should take include:

1. Stop using the air conditioner until a professional inspection is done.
2. Increase ventilation as much as possible to reduce moisture levels.
3. Keep an eye on your kids' symptoms and consult a doctor if they continue to cough or show other signs of distress.
4. Do not attempt to clean up any visible mold yourself, especially if it's behind walls. This could spread spores further.

Remember, in the UAE, it’s crucial to address such issues promptly due to our climate conditions. A delay might worsen the situation and lead to extensive property damage as well as health risks for you and your family.

Taking these steps will help protect your home and health while ensuring a safe environment until professionals can assess and treat the issue properly.
