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 fix closet mildew myself or call experts?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a mildew smell lingering in my bedroom closet. It’s really starting to bother me, especially since it feels like it's spreading. My roommate suggested hiring professionals, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the cost or if there are cheaper DIY solutions. Should I just tackle this myself or is it better to call in the experts?

Absolutely, tackling mildew issues in your closet can be a tricky task, especially if it's starting to spread. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we've seen quite a few cases where moisture and humidity create an environment for mold growth—especially after heavy rain.

Firstly, it’s essential to understand that mildew isn't just unsightly; it can pose health risks. In Dubai, the Environment Health Authority (EHA) has strict guidelines regarding indoor air quality and mold remediation. Mildew can trigger allergies, asthma attacks, and other respiratory issues, particularly in sensitive individuals.

If you notice a strong musty smell or see signs of mildew growth, especially if it’s spreading despite your efforts to keep the area dry, it's wise to call in professionals for an inspection. They will have the tools and expertise to identify the extent of the problem and recommend appropriate remediation actions that comply with local regulations.

DIY solutions can work for minor cases where you’ve just noticed a small patch or if the environment is not conducive to mold growth. Here are some steps you can take:

1. Inspect the Area: Look closely at any areas that might be damp or have visible mildew.
2. Ventilation: Increase airflow in your closet by opening windows, using fans, or dehumidifiers.
3. Clean Thoroughly: Use a mixture of water and a few drops of dish soap to clean affected surfaces. Be sure to dry everything thoroughly afterwards.
4. Seal Off Moisture Sources: Fix any leaks or sources of high humidity in your home.

However, if the mildew is widespread, if it's on porous materials like wood, fabric, or plaster, or if you notice health effects like sneezing, coughing, or difficulty breathing, consider hiring professionals. Saniservice, a leading provider of mold remediation services here in Dubai, can help with such cases. They offer comprehensive solutions that not only clean but also prevent future growth.

Remember to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for professional assistance when needed. Don't let mildew spread and potentially cause more harm than good.
