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 mold in my closet be making us sick?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness in my bedroom closet. My family and I have been feeling unwell—coughs, runny noses—and now I’m starting to think it might be due to mold or mildew growing there. The closet is right next to our bathroom, which we use frequently. Could this be causing our health issues?

Could mold in my closet be making us sick?

Absolutely. Mold can indeed cause respiratory issues and other health problems like coughs, runny noses, and even more severe conditions if left untreated. The UAE has strict regulations regarding indoor air quality to ensure the comfort and well-being of its residents. However, it's crucial to act swiftly in this situation.

Firstly, let me explain that mold thrives in damp environments – exactly what you'd find near a frequently used bathroom. Since your closet is adjacent to the bathroom, it’s not surprising that moisture could be accumulating here, creating an ideal breeding ground for mold and mildew growth.

In Dubai, we have specific guidelines from building codes that emphasize maintaining good indoor air quality (IAQ) standards. The UAE's General Authority of Meteorology and Seismology (GAMS) also issues advisories on humidity levels which can contribute to dampness and potential mold proliferation.

To address the issue:
1. Inspect the Closet: Start by checking for visible signs of mold or mildew, musty odors, water damage, or condensation.
2. Dry Out the Area: Use dehumidifiers if necessary to reduce humidity levels below 60%. Aim for around 45% as ideal IAQ conditions in homes.
3. Ventilate Properly: Ensure adequate ventilation between your bathroom and closet by opening windows or using exhaust fans when showering.

However, these steps might not be sufficient given the health concerns you mentioned. Given the severity of symptoms reported, I strongly recommend contacting a professional for an inspection as soon as possible. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice are equipped with the expertise to conduct thorough assessments and provide remediation services if needed.

Please don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a free consultation and quote tailored to your specific situation in Dubai. Early detection and treatment can prevent further health issues and ensure you and your family's well-being.

Remember, while DIY methods are good for initial steps, professional advice is invaluable when dealing with indoor air quality concerns.
