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.

Should I hire pros to handle closet mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a mildew smell in my master bedroom closet, which is usually kept closed most of the time. Given that we’ve only had two heavy rains this year, I’m concerned about potential mold growth, but cleaning it myself feels overwhelming. Should I hire professionals to handle this? What can I expect in terms of cost and how does the process typically work for such a space?

Absolutely, it's wise to consider hiring professionals for handling mold in your closet. In the UAE, particularly Dubai, we've seen cases where moisture from occasional heavy rains can lead to mold growth, especially in less frequently accessed areas like closets. Here’s why you might want to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com:

Firstly, professional inspectors have the right equipment and knowledge to accurately assess the extent of the problem. They will use moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to detect any hidden water damage that could be fostering mold growth. In Dubai, regulations stipulate that all properties should maintain a clean and healthy environment for residents, which includes managing indoor air quality.

The process typically involves several steps:
1. Inspection: A professional will come in and thoroughly examine your closet.
2. Analysis: They’ll determine the type of mold present (there are over 700 species found in the UAE) and assess if it's safe for removal or needs to be treated with specialized chemicals.
3. Cleanup: If necessary, they'll clean and decontaminate the affected area using methods that comply with local health and safety standards.
4. Preventative Measures: They’ll also suggest ways to prevent future mold growth, such as ensuring proper ventilation and addressing any leaks.

Costs can vary depending on the extent of the issue but typically start from a few hundred AED for small areas up to several thousand for larger spaces or complex cases.

In Dubai, there are specific guidelines about indoor air quality that you should consider. For instance, the Building Control Department requires properties to meet certain standards when undergoing renovations or repairs, which mold cleanup might fall under.

Don't underestimate the importance of professional handling—mold can spread quickly and pose health risks if not dealt with properly. If you're concerned about your closet smell, it’s best to get a proper assessment done. Trusting experts like Saniservice ensures that your home remains safe and healthy for everyone in the family.
