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 dampness after rain due to mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the bedroom closet. It only happens after it rains, and the smell persists even with frequent ventilation. My partner and I have been coughing more often since we opened the windows to let it air out. Could this be related to mold or something else?

Yes, dampness after rain can indeed be linked to mold growth. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, our climate and humidity levels can create perfect conditions for such issues. After heavy rainfall, it’s not uncommon to see increased moisture in certain areas of your home which could lead to dampness or even mold development.

In your case, the persistent dampness in the bedroom closet is a red flag. The smell you're experiencing might be from musty odors emanating due to mold growth. Mold thrives in moist environments and can produce allergens that may irritate your respiratory system, leading to coughing and other health issues. Given that both of you are experiencing these symptoms, it’s important not to delay seeking professional help.

In the UAE, following local regulations is crucial. The Building Control Department (BCD) requires all buildings to meet certain standards for indoor air quality and moisture management. If mold has developed in your home, it’s recommended to contact a professional environmental inspection company to assess the situation accurately.

For instance, you can call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com to get a thorough inspection and remediation plan. These companies are experienced in dealing with mold issues and will provide guidance on how to clean and prevent future occurrences.

Remember, while it’s good practice to ventilate your home after rain, excessive moisture can still lead to problems if not managed properly. Ensuring that your closet has adequate airflow and possibly using dehumidifiers might help mitigate the issue temporarily but a professional assessment is key for long-term solutions.

Acting promptly could prevent further damage to your property and protect your health. Don't let this issue linger; take action now!
