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 mold in my closet?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a peculiar damp smell lingering in my bedroom closet. It’s gotten worse over the past few days, even though I’ve tried airing out the room. The kids have been complaining of coughing fits every evening. Could this be due to some kind of mold or moisture issue? What should I do about it?

Absolutely, it's wise to be concerned about the potential for mold growth in your closet. The damp smell and coughing fits experienced by your children could indeed be linked to moisture issues. In the UAE, especially during rainy periods like you've described, humidity levels can rise significantly, which can lead to condensation inside enclosed spaces such as closets.

Given the conditions you’ve outlined, it’s highly probable that mold has started to develop. Mold thrives in damp and humid environments, and if left unchecked, it can not only cause an unpleasant odor but also pose health risks. Exposure to mold spores can trigger allergic reactions and respiratory issues, particularly for children and individuals with pre-existing conditions.

In Dubai, there are specific regulations regarding indoor air quality that you should be aware of. The UAE Building Code (UAE-BC) emphasizes the importance of proper ventilation systems and moisture control measures in buildings. According to Section 4.6.3 of the Building Code, all structures must have adequate provisions for the prevention of dampness and the control of condensation.

Given the severity of your situation, it would be prudent to seek a professional inspection. Local companies like Saniservice (Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) can provide detailed assessments of your home’s environment and recommend appropriate remediation actions. They can also offer guidance on how to prevent future issues.

In the meantime, there are some steps you can take:
1. Increase air circulation by opening windows if possible.
2. Use a dehumidifier to reduce moisture levels.
3. Clean the closet thoroughly with a solution of water and bleach (or another mold-killing cleaner), focusing on areas where condensation has been observed.

Remember, early intervention is key in preventing more serious health issues or costly repairs later on. Take action now to ensure your family’s comfort and safety.
