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 mold and dampness?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness and mold growth in the corner of my bedroom closet. Even though I cleaned it thoroughly with vinegar and baking soda, the smell lingers and feels like it's only getting worse. How can I prevent this from happening again and ensure the closet stays dry and clean?

Preventing closet mold and dampness is essential to maintaining a healthy living environment. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, humidity levels can be quite high due to the climate. This makes it crucial to take proactive steps to ensure your closets stay dry and clean. Here are some practical measures you can implement:

Firstly, regularly inspecting your closet for signs of moisture is key. Dampness may stem from various sources such as leaking pipes or inadequate ventilation. If you notice any leaks, get them fixed immediately by a professional plumber. In Dubai, it’s advised to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for immediate assistance.

Ventilation is another critical aspect of preventing mold growth in your closet. Consider installing an exhaust fan or dehumidifier. These devices help reduce moisture levels and prevent condensation from forming, which can lead to dampness and mold. In many cases, a whole-house dehumidifier might be necessary if the issue persists.

Additionally, sealing gaps around windows and doors with weatherstripping or caulking helps minimize drafts that can bring in humid air. This is especially important during rainy seasons when humidity levels are naturally higher.

Using moisture-resistant materials for closet lining such as breathable fabrics like cotton or natural fibers can also help keep your clothes dry. Synthetic materials tend to retain more moisture, leading to mold growth over time.

Cleaning the closet regularly with a mixture of vinegar and baking soda is still a good practice, but ensure you thoroughly dry out the area after cleaning. Mold spores thrive in damp environments, so any residual moisture could lead to recurrence.

Lastly, consider professional inspection services if the issue seems persistent despite your efforts. At Saniservice, we can conduct thorough inspections and provide remediation solutions tailored to Dubai’s climate conditions. Don’t hesitate to contact us at hello@saniservice.com for expert assistance. Remember, a proactive approach is always better than waiting until the problem worsens.

By following these steps, you should be able to keep your closet dry and free from mold, ensuring a healthier living space in Dubai's humid climate.
