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 urgent?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a constant damp smell coming from the bottom of my bedroom closet. It’s particularly noticeable when it’s humid outside. The carpet in that area feels slightly damp to the touch, and my kids have been complaining about coughing more often lately. How urgent is this issue with the duct sealing, and what could be causing the moisture build-up?

The damp smell from your closet can indeed be concerning, especially given the recent heavy rains and the increased humidity we've been experiencing in Dubai. This issue is more than just an unpleasant odour; it could indicate a serious moisture problem that might lead to mold growth, which can have adverse health effects on your family.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, buildings are required to comply with certain standards set by the Building Control Department (BCD) and the Environmental Health Regulations. These regulations emphasize the importance of maintaining good indoor air quality and preventing moisture-related issues like dampness and mold growth.

The constant presence of a damp smell, especially when it's more noticeable during humid conditions, suggests that there might be an issue with moisture build-up in your home. This could stem from several sources, including poor duct sealing, inadequate ventilation, or even plumbing leaks.

Given the potential health risks associated with mold exposure and considering that you have noticed kids coughing more often, I would recommend getting a professional inspection as soon as possible. Saniservice is an expert company based in Dubai that can help assess your situation thoroughly. You can contact them at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance.

In the meantime, you could take some initial steps to address the issue:
1. Check and clean your HVAC system – ensure it’s properly maintained and that filters are replaced regularly.
2. Ensure proper ventilation in areas like bathrooms and kitchens where moisture tends to accumulate.
3. Inspect your ducts for any signs of damage or leaks; poorly sealed ductwork can allow humid air into your home, contributing to the dampness.

Remember, while these steps might provide some relief, a professional assessment is crucial to determine the root cause of the problem and ensure that it’s properly resolved.

Stay proactive about maintaining good indoor environmental quality in your home. Health first!
