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 in closet due to mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness lingering in our bedroom closet, even though it was dry outside. The kids have been complaining of coughs and runny noses since we moved to this high-rise apartment complex, and I can’t shake the feeling that it might be related to the indoor air quality. Could there be mold growing somewhere undetected? What should I do to check if our home is safe for my family?

Dampness in your closet could indeed be an indication of mold growth. Mold thrives in humid and moist environments which are quite common after rainfall in Dubai's climate. The UAE has specific regulations to ensure indoor air quality, particularly in residential buildings like high-rise apartments.

It is important not to dismiss the possibility that what you're experiencing might be linked to poor indoor air quality affecting your family’s health. Coughs and runny noses could indeed be symptoms of mold exposure. In Dubai, as per the Health Regulations of the UAE, it's crucial to maintain a healthy living environment free from harmful contaminants.

To check if mold is present without professional help, you can inspect the closet for signs like dark spots or musty odors. However, given the potential health risks and that you're dealing with a high-rise apartment where leaks might be hard to detect, it’s highly recommended to call in a professional.

Saniservice, an expert in environmental inspections, offers comprehensive mold testing and remediation services. You can reach them at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation.

Regular maintenance like ensuring proper ventilation and checking for water leaks are also key steps to prevent future occurrences. Consider investing in dehumidifiers, which are common household items here in Dubai, especially during the summer months when humidity can be high.

Remember, taking proactive measures is crucial not just for your peace of mind but for the health of your family. So don’t delay in addressing this issue.
