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.

Am I responsible for humid closet?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my bedroom closet, and now both my spouse and children have been complaining of coughs and runny noses. The AC doesn’t seem to be helping much either; it’s quite humid even when it’s running. Do you think as a tenant, I’m responsible for addressing this issue, or should I bring it up with the landlord?

It sounds like the humidity issue in your closet might be causing some health concerns for you and your family. As an expert in indoor environmental quality and building sciences here in the UAE/Dubai region, I can offer you some guidance on what to do.

Firstly, dampness and persistent moisture are not something a tenant should have to deal with alone. In Dubai, it’s important to follow local regulations which state that landlords are responsible for maintaining habitable conditions within the property. This includes ensuring proper ventilation and addressing any issues related to water damage or moisture levels.

Given the symptoms you're experiencing—coughs and runny noses—and considering the humid climate even with air conditioning in use, it's crucial to get a professional inspection. High humidity can lead to mold growth which might not just be uncomfortable but could also contribute to respiratory issues.

I'd recommend contacting a local environmental inspection company like Saniservice for an assessment. They have experience dealing with such cases and will provide you with detailed reports on what’s causing the dampness and how it can be addressed. Their contact details are 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or you could email hello@saniservice.com for more information.

In the meantime, here are a few practical steps you can take:
1. Ensure your closet is well-ventilated. Use an exhaust fan if necessary.
2. Keep doors closed to control humidity levels in specific areas.
3. Dry out any damp clothing or textiles promptly.
4. Check for leaks around windows and pipes, which might be contributing to the moisture problem.

Remember, addressing these issues early can prevent bigger problems down the line, including structural damage from mold growth. If you find that your landlord isn’t taking appropriate action after being informed of the issue, consider escalating it with the relevant authorities or through your local tenant association.

Stay healthy and address the situation promptly!
