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 laundry room causing our health issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a damp smell lingering in the hallway near the laundry room. My son has had persistent coughing fits especially at night, and my daughter complains of itchy eyes. Could this be related to mold or poor ventilation? What can we do to improve the air quality?

Yes, it sounds like the damp smell from your laundry room could be causing some of the health issues you're experiencing. In Dubai and the UAE, high humidity levels during rainy seasons can create conditions where mold thrives, especially in areas that are not well-ventilated or have excess moisture.

Mold growth is common when there's a persistent damp smell, particularly if it's accompanied by symptoms like coughing fits (especially at night) and itchy eyes. These could be signs of allergic reactions to mold spores, which can irritate the respiratory system and cause eye irritation in children.

To address this issue effectively, I would recommend having your indoor air quality professionally assessed. Here in Dubai, regulations require that buildings maintain certain standards for indoor air quality to ensure occupant health. A professional inspection could help identify any underlying moisture issues or mold growth before they become a bigger problem.

In the meantime, here are some steps you can take:
1. Ensure proper ventilation: Open windows and use exhaust fans during and after using the laundry room to reduce humidity.
2. Use dehumidifiers: If your laundry area is particularly damp, consider investing in a portable dehumidifier to reduce moisture levels.
3. Clean regularly: Keep the laundry area clean and dry. Regularly check for any signs of mold and address them promptly.
4. Check plumbing: Ensure that there are no leaks or water damage issues that could be contributing to the damp smell.

Remember, if you notice any significant growth or persistent symptoms in your family members, it's best to contact a professional company like ours at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for further assistance. We can help with comprehensive inspections and remediation services tailored for the UAE environment.
