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 mold from closet dampness harming my kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness and musty smell in my bedroom closet. The moisture seemed particularly bad since the roof leak was fixed two months ago, but it’s still dripping occasionally. My kids have been coughing frequently lately, and I’m worried it might be related to the mold or mildew growing due to the excess humidity. How urgent is this issue, and what should I do immediately?

The issue of mold growth due to dampness and musty odors in your bedroom closet is indeed concerning. In the UAE, specifically in Dubai, humidity levels can spike during certain times of the year making such situations more common. Mold and mildew thrive in environments with high moisture content and temperatures, which seem to be present given your description.

The symptoms your kids are experiencing - frequent coughing - could potentially be linked to mold exposure. Inhaling spores from mold can irritate the respiratory system leading to coughs, sneezes, runny nose, or even worsened asthma symptoms in children. Since you've had ongoing issues despite a recent fix for the roof leak and occasional dripping, it is imperative that immediate action be taken.

Firstly, ensure proper ventilation in your closet by opening windows if possible and using dehumidifiers to control humidity levels. This can help prevent further mold growth. Secondly, thoroughly clean the area with a solution of water and detergent or a mixture containing bleach (remember to wear protective gear like gloves and masks). However, for a more comprehensive assessment, it would be wise to seek professional inspection. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer expert services including mold testing and remediation.

Please consider giving them a call at 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com to schedule an appointment. They can provide you with the necessary expertise to ensure your home is safe from harmful molds. Remember, addressing this issue promptly not only benefits your family’s health but also helps maintain the value of your property.

UAE regulations require that properties meet certain standards for indoor environmental quality which include managing moisture and preventing mold growth. Ignoring such issues can lead to more extensive damage over time, so acting now is crucial.
