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 worry about airborne contaminants in my closet?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a damp and musty smell lingering in our bedroom closet. Even though we’ve had it aired out several times, the odor persists, especially during cooler evenings. Given that my kids have been complaining of coughing and runny noses since this started, I’m worried about mold or other airborne particles causing health issues. How can I effectively clean and prevent these airborne contaminants from recurring in our closet?

Absolutely, you should worry about airborne contaminants in your closet. In the UAE, particularly during cooler evenings and after rain events like last month's, dampness can lead to mold growth, which is a significant health concern. Mold spores are known allergens that can trigger respiratory issues like coughing and runny noses, especially among children.

In Dubai, you have to comply with local regulations for indoor air quality, particularly related to the moisture levels in your home. The UAE Building Control Regulations require that buildings maintain proper ventilation systems to prevent mold growth. However, if your closet is prone to moisture, it can become a breeding ground for these spores.

Firstly, I would recommend you inspect the area thoroughly. Look for any visible signs of water damage or mold. If you spot anything suspicious, contact an expert like Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a professional inspection and remediation. They can provide advice on whether the problem is serious enough to need immediate attention.

To clean your closet effectively:

1. Open all windows to allow fresh air in, but only if it's not too cold outside.
2. Use a dehumidifier or air conditioner to reduce moisture levels inside the closet.
3. Scrub any visible mold with a solution of water and detergent or a commercial mold cleaner. Wear gloves and a mask during this process.
4. Clean the closet surfaces, including the floor, walls, and any shelves.
5. Dry everything thoroughly before putting items back.

Prevention is key to keeping airborne contaminants at bay in your closet:

• Ensure good ventilation by installing a dehumidifier or exhaust fan if necessary.
• Keep the space dry; use moisture-absorbing silica gel packets around sensitive items like shoes and electronics.
• Regularly check for any water leaks or condensation that could lead to mold growth.

Remember, maintaining indoor air quality is crucial for your family's health. If you're not confident in handling the issue yourself or if it seems too extensive, don't hesitate to call Saniservice for professional help.
