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.

Why isn't my dehumidifier reducing closet dampness?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell coming from the closet in my bedroom. Despite having a dehumidifier running all day, it doesn't seem to be helping much. The humidity levels on my smart thermostat are usually around 60%, which is supposed to be okay, but maybe that's not enough given how humid it's been outside lately. Has anyone experienced similar issues and found an effective solution?

Well, it sounds like you're dealing with a tricky situation. In the UAE, especially during our wetter months, humidity can be quite high and sometimes even a dehumidifier might struggle to maintain ideal conditions, particularly in smaller spaces such as closets.

Firstly, let's consider some factors that could affect your setup:
1. Dehumidifier Capacity: Make sure you're using a unit with an adequate capacity for the area. A bigger space like a bedroom closet may require a more powerful model.
2. Ventilation: Check if there are any air vents or openings in the closet. These can allow moist air to enter, defeating your efforts to reduce humidity inside.
3. Closet Design & Insulation: Poorly insulated or designed closets can lead to moisture build-up. If you have thick curtains or other insulating materials, they might trap moisture and prevent effective dehumidification.

Given the persistent damp smell, it’s important not to overlook the possibility of a more serious issue like mold growth. Mold thrives in moist environments and can spread quickly if left unchecked, especially with Dubai's warm climate.

I'd recommend scheduling an inspection by a professional environmental consultant or company familiar with UAE regulations. They will be able to conduct a thorough assessment and provide tailored solutions based on the specific conditions of your home.

In the meantime, here are some steps you can take:
• Ensure proper ventilation in the closet; maybe add a small fan to help circulate air.
• Check for any leaks or sources of excess moisture.
• Use silica gel packets or desiccants around your belongings as they absorb moisture effectively.
• Keep an eye on the temperature and humidity levels, and consider increasing the dehumidifier’s settings if needed.

Remember, prevention is key. Regular maintenance and inspections can help in maintaining a healthy indoor environment. If you need any assistance or want to discuss further, feel free to reach out at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for expert advice.
