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 wall dampness be more than just cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a peculiar dampness seeping into the walls of my living room. My cleaning staff insists they’ve been thorough with their routines, but the musty smell persists even after multiple sessions. Could this be due to an issue that isn’t getting addressed by them or is it something else entirely?

Could wall dampness be more than just cleaning?

Hey there! I've been keeping an eye on your query regarding the dampness in your living room walls. It sounds like a perplexing issue, especially since you’ve already had your cleaning staff address it multiple times and still detect that musty smell.

In Dubai/UAE, we're particularly mindful of moisture issues due to our climate and high humidity levels. Persistent dampness can indeed be more than just a lackluster cleaning job. There are several potential culprits worth considering:

Firstly, let’s talk about the UAE regulations. In line with the Abu Dhabi Municipality’s guidelines, it's crucial that all buildings maintain proper moisture control to prevent structural damage and health issues. This means your building should have adequate waterproofing measures in place, such as using appropriate materials for walls and ensuring there are no gaps where water could seep through.

Now, while thorough cleaning is essential, it may not solve the problem if underlying issues aren't addressed. For instance, if there’s a leak from above (say from an air conditioning unit or roof), it might be necessary to inspect those areas as well. Another possibility is that poor ventilation or lack of dehumidification could be contributing factors.

I'd recommend you call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. These services can help identify the root cause, whether it’s a structural issue, inadequate insulation, or even pest infestation which can lead to dampness. Early intervention is key to prevent further damage.

In terms of practical steps you can take in the meantime:
• Check for any visible leaks or water stains on ceilings and around windows
• Ensure your air conditioning units are properly maintained and not leaking
• Consider using a dehumidifier if humidity levels are high, especially during summer months

Remember, it’s always better to be proactive when dealing with moisture issues. If you suspect there's more at play than just cleaning, don't hesitate to seek professional advice.

Hope this helps!
Best regards,
