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 closet mold cause their symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent dampness and musty smell in my bedroom closet. My son has been complaining of a scratchy throat and itchy eyes since we moved all our clothes there after cleaning out the wardrobe. Given how long we’ve lived here—two years now—I’m starting to wonder if there might be some hidden mold or other contaminants affecting their health. Could these symptoms be linked to something in the closet, and what should I check for?

Could closet mold cause their symptoms?

Yes, it's quite possible that the musty smell and dampness you've noticed could be linked to hidden mold growth. Mold spores can easily spread through air currents and settle on various surfaces like clothing or furniture, especially in humid conditions common after rain. In Dubai, we often experience weather changes with high humidity periods which can create favorable conditions for molds.

The symptoms your son is experiencing—like a scratchy throat and itchy eyes—are common reactions to mold exposure, particularly among children who have more sensitive respiratory systems. Other potential contaminants like dust mites or other allergens might also be contributing factors.

Firstly, try to identify the source of dampness. Check for any leaks in pipes or windowsills that could be causing condensation issues. Also, ensure proper ventilation and dehumidification in the closet. If you notice water stains or see any discoloration on walls, floors, or ceiling, these are clear signs of mold growth.

If the situation persists, it's wise to contact a professional for an inspection. In the UAE, there aren't specific regulations mandating indoor air quality checks but adhering to best practices is crucial especially in residential spaces. The call 800-MOLDS number or email hello@saniservice.com can connect you with experts who specialize in identifying and addressing mold issues.

Remember, removing mold isn’t just about cleaning it up; it's about making sure the environment doesn't provide conditions for further growth. So take steps to ensure your home is dry, clean, and free of moisture to prevent mold from returning.

Don't ignore these signs as they can lead to serious health issues over time. Act now and protect you and your family’s well-being.
