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.

Could closet mold cause our symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from my bedroom closet, which has persisted even after multiple cleanings. My kids and I have been experiencing sneezing and coughing more frequently since we moved into this flat two years ago, and it’s really worrying me. Could the mold or mildew in my closet be causing these symptoms?

Absolutely could be the case. Mold and mildew can produce allergens that trigger sneezing, coughing, and other respiratory issues – exactly what you're experiencing. In Dubai, we often face humidity levels that create perfect conditions for mold growth after rain or high moisture events.

Given your symptoms and the musty smell from the closet, it’s crucial to properly assess the situation. Mold can grow in hidden areas like behind walls, under carpets, and within closets – especially if there's been a recent leak or the area has been damp.

The UAE doesn't have specific regulations for mold remediation as of now, but it is advisable to follow best practices as per the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Mold can be particularly problematic in warm, humid climates like ours.

For your case, I strongly recommend contacting a professional environmental inspection service. They will come and conduct a thorough inspection of your home, identifying any hidden mold growth that may not be visible. If there is indeed mold present, they can advise on the appropriate remediation steps to ensure it's safely removed without causing further health issues.

You might want to consider calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a professional assessment and help. Early detection and proper remediation are key in managing indoor air quality and preventing ongoing health concerns for you and your family.

Remember, even if the closet seems clean, mold can lurk behind walls or under floors. A professional’s expertise will ensure no hidden areas are overlooked.
