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 in bedroom urgent?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy storms we had last month, I noticed a strange damp smell in my bedroom closet. It's been there ever since, even after airing out everything. My kids have also been complaining of itchy eyes and a persistent cough that seems to worsen at night. How urgent is this issue, and what steps should I take immediately?

The damp smell in your bedroom closet is definitely something to take seriously. In the UAE and specifically in Dubai, humidity levels can be quite high, especially after heavy storms like the ones we had recently. This could be a sign of moisture buildup or even a mold issue. Mold spores can flourish in damp environments and may lead to health issues such as itchy eyes, coughs, and respiratory problems – symptoms your children are experiencing.

In Dubai, according to local regulations set by the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD), it's crucial to maintain indoor air quality standards. The EAD guidelines recommend that homes undergo regular inspections for mold and moisture-related issues, particularly after weather events like heavy rains. Given your situation, a professional inspection would be highly advisable.

To address this immediately:

1. Open the closet as much as possible to increase ventilation.
2. Use a dehumidifier if you have one. If not, consider renting or purchasing an inexpensive model from local retailers.
3. Keep windows slightly open when weather permits to allow fresh air circulation.
4. If you notice any visible signs of mold, such as black spots or fuzzy growth, do not touch it directly and avoid spreading spores by sweeping or vacuuming.

The situation can worsen if left unattended. Mold produces allergens that can cause skin rashes, coughs, and asthma attacks – especially in children. In severe cases, professional remediation might be needed to eliminate the mold and ensure your home is safe.

If you suspect a serious issue, please don’t delay! Contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for immediate assistance. They can provide an expert evaluation and recommend appropriate solutions.

Remember, addressing indoor air quality issues early on can prevent bigger problems down the line. Stay proactive with your home's maintenance to ensure a healthier living environment for you and your family.
