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 smell from closet harming kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell in my bedroom closet. It's really starting to worry me because my kids have had cold-like symptoms since we moved all those boxes around recently. Is this something that could be seriously affecting their health? What should I do about it urgently?

The damp smell from your closet can indeed be concerning. In the UAE and Dubai specifically, humidity levels can vary widely, especially after periods of rain as you've experienced recently. Persistent dampness can lead to mold growth which can significantly impact air quality indoors, particularly for children who are more susceptible to respiratory issues.

Molds thrive in moist environments like your closet and can produce spores that float through the air. These spores can irritate the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs leading to symptoms similar to colds or allergies such as runny noses, coughing, wheezing, and even more severe asthma attacks. For kids with existing respiratory conditions, this can exacerbate their condition.

Given your situation, it would be prudent to have a professional inspection done urgently. Saniservice offers comprehensive indoor air quality assessments that include mold testing in Dubai and the UAE. They can help determine if there's active mold growth or other issues causing the damp smell and suggest remediation solutions.

In the meantime, here are some steps you can take:

• Improve airflow: Open windows when possible to allow fresh air into your home.
• Dry out affected areas: Use a dehumidifier in your closet or move boxes around to improve air circulation.
• Clean surfaces: Wipe down walls and surfaces with a 10% bleach solution if you notice any mold growth.
• Maintain cleanliness: Regularly clean the closet and other storage areas where dampness may occur.

Remember, it's crucial to address this issue promptly. The longer moisture remains undetected and unaddressed, the higher the risk of health concerns for your family, particularly your children. So don't wait—contact 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com today for an inspection and further guidance.

UAE-specific regulations do require buildings to maintain a certain level of indoor air quality which could be breached by excessive dampness. Ensuring proper ventilation and moisture control is not only good practice but also complies with local standards.
