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 dampness and symptoms be from mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the master bedroom closet, and my kids have been complaining of headaches and itchy eyes every time they spend more than an hour there. Could this be due to some kind of mold or dust mites? What should I do to clean thoroughly without causing any harm to our family's health?

Yes, it's quite possible that the dampness and the symptoms your kids are experiencing could be due to mold. In the UAE, especially Dubai, humidity levels can sometimes lead to moisture issues in homes, particularly after rainy periods. Mold thrives in such conditions, and it’s not uncommon for it to grow on walls, floors, or even in closets if there's a source of dampness.

In your case, the master bedroom closet showing signs of dampness is a red flag. Mold can produce allergens that irritate the eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs, which could explain the headaches and itchy eyes your kids are experiencing. It’s important to address this issue promptly to ensure the health of you and your family.

Firstly, you should take immediate steps to dry out the area. Open windows if possible, use a dehumidifier or an air conditioner to reduce humidity levels, and consider using fans to increase airflow in the closet. However, these measures alone might not be sufficient for comprehensive remediation.

It's recommended that you call 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule a professional inspection by an environmental expert who can assess the extent of mold growth and provide appropriate guidance. Professionals will use specialized equipment like moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to identify hidden dampness and determine if there's active mold present.

If mold is confirmed, a thorough cleaning process will be necessary. Use a solution of water and detergent or a mixture of 1 cup of bleach per gallon of water (but avoid using this on porous materials) to clean the affected areas. For more severe cases, you may need pressure washing or even replacement of damp or damaged materials.

To prevent future issues, consider implementing long-term moisture management strategies such as fixing any leaks in the building envelope and ensuring proper ventilation throughout your home. Regular maintenance checks can also help identify potential sources of dampness early on before they become problematic.

Remember, taking swift action is key to addressing mold concerns safely and effectively. Don't hesitate to call for professional assistance if you're unsure about handling the situation yourself.
