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 mold in my closet?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in my bedroom closet, and now both my daughter and I are sneezing and having itchy eyes every time we go in there. Could this be due to mold growth from the moisture? What should I do to clean it up safely?

Could moisture cause mold in my closet?

Sure could! The conditions you're experiencing sound like they might be linked to mold growth. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, humidity can play a big part in creating an environment where molds thrive. After rainfall or even high indoor humidity levels, it's not uncommon for moisture to gather and lead to unpleasant smells and health issues.

Molds are everywhere, but they need the right conditions to grow – warm temperatures, darkness, and plenty of moisture. Your closet seems like a perfect spot given that it’s enclosed and can retain moisture easily. Mold spores can trigger allergies in some people leading to symptoms like sneezing and itchy eyes.

Given your situation, I'd recommend taking immediate action:

1. Ventilation: Open the closet door or window if possible to allow air circulation.
2. Drying: Use a dehumidifier or fan to help dry out any moisture. Ensure the space is well-ventilated and not too humid.
3. Cleaning: Scrub the affected area with a solution of water and bleach (1 part bleach to 10 parts water) or use a commercial mold cleaner. Make sure to wear gloves and protective clothing when cleaning up.

However, if you're unsure about the extent of the problem or if it doesn't improve after these steps, I'd suggest having an expert inspection done by a professional like us at Saniservice. We can assess the situation, recommend appropriate treatments, and ensure your home remains healthy for both you and your family.

Remember to keep indoor humidity levels below 60% with the help of dehumidifiers or air conditioners. Regular cleaning and maintaining good ventilation are key in preventing mold growth.
