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.

How can I prevent closet dampness?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my bedroom closet. The clothes and shoes stored there started to develop mildew spots, despite keeping the door slightly open to allow some airflow. It’s really worrying as we’ve lived here for 2 years and just noticed this issue. How can I prevent water from seeping into the closet and stop this from happening again?

Preventing closet dampness is crucial to maintaining the quality of your belongings and ensuring a healthy indoor environment. In Dubai/UAE, especially after rainfalls, it's common for moisture issues to arise. Here are some steps you can take to tackle and prevent such problems:

Firstly, assess the situation by checking if there’s any visible damage or leaks in your closet walls, roof, or window seals. If you notice anything amiss, it is advisable to call a professional inspection service like 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for an expert evaluation.

In the meantime, here are some practical steps to mitigate dampness:

Ensure proper ventilation: Open windows whenever possible and use exhaust fans if you have them. In Dubai’s climate where humidity can fluctuate, this is particularly important. A dehumidifier might also be a good investment as they help reduce moisture levels in enclosed spaces like closets.

Regularly clean your closet to prevent mold growth. Use mild detergents or baking soda solutions for cleaning surfaces and textiles. If you notice any signs of mold, remove the affected items immediately and treat the area with a mixture of bleach and water. However, if the mold coverage is extensive, it's best to call in professionals.

Organize your storage efficiently. Ensure that clothes are hung properly and not touching walls or floor which can promote moisture accumulation. Place shoes on racks or shelves instead of directly on the ground. This will also help with air circulation around items stored.

Seal gaps: Check for any cracks, gaps, or loose seals in your closet’s doors, windows, and walls that could allow water to seep through during heavy rainfall. Apply silicone caulk to seal these areas effectively.

Consider waterproofing materials: In more severe cases, you might need to apply moisture-resistant paints or coatings on the interior of your closet walls. This can be particularly useful in bathrooms or other high-moisture environments.

Lastly, keep an eye out for any signs of water intrusion and address them immediately. Regular maintenance is key to preventing issues from escalating into more serious problems.

By implementing these measures, you should be able to significantly reduce dampness in your closet and protect your belongings from mold damage. If the problem persists or worsens, don’t hesitate to seek professional advice.
