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 moisture causing mold in my closet?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in my bedroom closet. It’s really starting to bother me because my kids have been coughing and sneezing more than usual since then. Could this be related to the moisture getting trapped inside? What can I do to prevent this from happening again?

Yes, it sounds like moisture could be the culprit behind that musty smell and your family's symptoms. In areas like Dubai, we've seen cases where high humidity levels post-rain events can lead to moisture getting trapped within closets or other enclosed spaces, creating ideal conditions for mold growth.

In the UAE, particularly in a climate such as ours, it’s not uncommon to see relative humidity rise after rainfall, especially if you have poor ventilation. Moisture can become a significant issue, particularly in areas that are less frequently accessed like closets where air circulation is minimal. This lack of airflow means any moisture present could remain undetected for longer periods, fostering mold colonies.

To address this situation, there are several steps you can take:

1. Dry Out the Closet: Open the closet doors and windows if possible to allow some air flow. Use a dehumidifier or an air purifier in your bedroom area to help reduce moisture levels.

2. Inspect for Visible Mold: Check for any visible signs of mold growth, which might appear as black, green, or white spots on surfaces like walls, ceilings, or furniture.

3. Check for Leaks and Proper Ventilation: Inspect the closet for any water leaks from pipes or roofs. Ensure that your home has proper ventilation systems in place to prevent moisture buildup.

4. Use Drying Agents: If you notice any dampness but no visible mold yet, consider using silica gel packets or baking soda to absorb excess moisture.

5. Professional Inspection and Remediation: Given the potential health impacts of indoor mold, it’s advisable to call a professional for an inspection. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can offer services to assess the situation thoroughly and recommend appropriate remediation steps if necessary.

Remember, in the UAE, regulations often emphasize the importance of maintaining good indoor air quality. If mold is found, it should be handled with care to avoid health risks such as respiratory issues or allergies which your children are experiencing.
