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.

Can I clean up closet dampness myself?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the closet where we store all our winter clothes. It’s really starting to smell, and I’m worried about it affecting them. Can someone advise if this is something I can clean up myself or if I need professional help?

Absolutely, you can handle the closet dampness yourself, but it's crucial to approach it carefully and ensure that all areas are properly treated. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, we frequently experience such issues due to seasonal changes or recent rainfall. Here’s what I recommend:

Firstly, check if there is a clear water source causing the dampness—perhaps from leaking pipes or a damaged roof. If you find any obvious leaks, fix them immediately. You can use basic tools like buckets and rags to clean up any visible water. However, if it's just persistent dampness without an obvious leak, continue with these steps.

Start by removing all items from the closet. This will allow you to thoroughly inspect and treat every area. Use a fan or dehumidifier to help dry out the space more quickly. Keep windows slightly open (if weather permits) for some natural ventilation.

Next, clean any visible mold spots using a solution of one cup of bleach per gallon of water. Make sure to wear gloves and goggles while doing this. Scrub the area thoroughly and let it dry completely before moving on.

To prevent future dampness, consider installing dehumidifiers or running fans to keep air circulating. Also, ensure there's proper insulation in the closet, especially if it’s a cold spot in your home. In Dubai, we often see temperature fluctuations which can lead to condensation and mold growth.

If you notice any significant structural damage or if the problem persists despite your efforts, I'd advise reaching out for professional help. Our company, Saniservice, specializes in indoor environmental quality checks and remediation. We operate with a hotline 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for quick assistance.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, especially when dealing with sensitive items like your winter clothes. Take action now to avoid any potential damage or health issues caused by mold growth.
