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 moisture cause health issues in my closet?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my bedroom closet. The air feels heavy and slightly musty every time I open it, especially during the cooler evenings. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits recently, and I can’t shake the feeling that there might be something off with the indoor air quality here. Could this be related to the moisture buildup, or could it pose a health risk?

Absolutely, moisture can indeed cause a range of health issues in your closet and throughout the rest of your home. In the UAE, particularly during our cooler evenings, humidity levels can spike, making it easier for dampness to build up, especially in poorly ventilated spaces like closets.

In Dubai, we've seen cases where excess moisture leads to mold growth, which is a significant concern as per UAE's standards and regulations such as EN 15284:2017. Mold spores can circulate through the air and be breathed in, leading to respiratory issues, coughing fits, and allergic reactions. Given your situation where kids are experiencing these symptoms, it’s not out of the question that mold could be the culprit.

Firstly, you should ensure proper ventilation in the closet, perhaps by leaving a door open slightly or using an exhaust fan if possible. However, this might not be enough to combat the persistent dampness. A moisture meter can help assess how wet the walls and other surfaces are; levels of over 17% relative humidity (RH) warrant immediate action.

It's also important to check for any water leaks in pipes or around windows as these can contribute to the problem. If you suspect mold, it’s best not to try cleaning it yourself, especially if the affected area is larger than a square meter; this can spread spores and make the issue worse. Instead, consider calling professional inspectors like 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for an assessment.

Remember that maintaining indoor air quality in Dubai requires vigilance against moisture issues to prevent health risks. Regular checks on humidity levels and addressing any leaks promptly can help keep your home environment safe and healthy for you and your family.
