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.

Is damp closet causing mold and kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell in my bedroom closet. The clothes and linens inside started feeling damp and sticky to the touch. My kids have been coughing more than usual since we brought these items out for their winter break. Could this be due to mold or another form of indoor air quality issue?

It sounds like your situation could indeed be related to mold growth due to the dampness from last month's rain. Mold thrives in humid and warm environments, especially in places where there has been water damage or excessive moisture. In the UAE context, particularly in Dubai, we've seen cases where persistent high humidity after rainfall can lead to such issues.

In your case, it’s important to address this quickly as mold can produce spores that are allergenic and irritant to humans, which may explain why your kids have been coughing more than usual. The dampness could also be causing the musty smell, a common sign of mold presence.

Given the specifics of Dubai's climate and conditions, I recommend you act swiftly to inspect and address this issue. You might consider contacting professionals who can provide an accurate assessment and remediation plan for your closet. In the UAE, there are specific regulations regarding indoor air quality (IAQ) that ensure buildings maintain a safe environment.

For professional assistance in Dubai, you could reach out to companies like Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com. They have experience dealing with such issues and can provide the necessary services for cleaning, inspection, and remediation.

In the meantime, try to improve ventilation by opening windows when weather permits and using dehumidifiers if possible. It’s also a good idea to remove and clean any moisture-prone areas like carpets or underbed storage regularly to prevent future occurrences.

Remember, addressing mold issues early can help avoid more serious health concerns for you and your family.
