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 laundry room causing health issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from the shared laundry room in our building. My kids have been complaining of headaches and runny noses, and I’m worried it might be due to mold or dust mites from the damp conditions. Have any of you experienced similar issues and what did you do about it?

Absolutely damp laundry rooms can indeed cause health issues. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, our climate is often humid and warm, making such conditions even more susceptible to mold growth. I've seen similar issues in a few of my projects around the city, where water intrusion from rain or other sources leads to musty smells, stuffiness, and discomfort for building occupants.

In your case, it's not uncommon to experience headaches and runny noses when exposed to such environments. Mold spores can irritate the respiratory system, causing these symptoms. Dust mites also thrive in humid conditions, which could be contributing to the discomfort experienced by your kids.

Firstly, I'd recommend a professional inspection of the laundry room. The UAE has specific building regulations and guidelines that address indoor air quality and moisture control, like EN 13788 for building services and EN 15251 for ventilation. These standards can help ensure that remediation efforts align with local codes.

If you decide to proceed with a professional inspection, contact us at Saniservice via the number 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. Our experts will conduct a thorough evaluation and provide recommendations tailored to your building's needs.

In the meantime, there are some immediate steps you can take:
• Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows or using exhaust fans during laundry days.
• Drying clothes outside if weather permits or in a well-ventilated area instead of hanging them indoors.
• Regularly clean the laundry room with disinfectants to prevent mold growth.
• Check for leaks and address any water damage promptly.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial. By addressing the moisture issue, you can significantly improve your family's comfort and health in the shared laundry space.
