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 dampness and mold affecting indoor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell in my bedroom closet, even though I hadn't stored anything particularly smelly there. The moisture seems to be coming from the walls, as they feel quite cold when I touch them. My kids have been complaining of coughing and sneezing more often since we moved into this apartment two years ago. Could this be related to indoor air quality issues? What steps can I take to address the problem before it worsens?

Yes, dampness and mold can significantly affect indoor air quality. The symptoms your kids have been experiencing like coughing and sneezing could be due to the presence of mold spores in the air. In the UAE, specifically Dubai, moisture from rain or high humidity levels can lead to condensation on walls and ceilings which, over time, can foster the growth of molds.

In your case, the damp smell and cold feeling when touching the walls indicate that there might be water seepage or a hidden source of moisture. This is concerning because mold thrives in humid conditions and can produce allergens, irritants, and sometimes mycotoxins which are harmful to human health. The UAE has its own set of building regulations such as the Building Code of Dubai (BCD) that require proper moisture management and ventilation systems.

Before it worsens, I'd recommend a professional inspection by Saniservice. They can assess the condition of your walls, identify any hidden water sources, and provide a remediation plan if needed. Their contact number is 800-MOLDS or you can email them at hello@saniservice.com for an appointment.

Some immediate steps you can take include:

1. Increase ventilation: Open windows when weather permits to allow fresh air into your home.
2. Use dehumidifiers: These devices can help reduce indoor humidity levels, making it less favorable for mold growth.
3. Clean and dry: Regularly clean and dry areas prone to moisture such as bathrooms and kitchens.
4. Seal gaps: Ensure that any gaps or cracks in the walls are sealed properly to prevent water from seeping in.

Remember, addressing moisture issues promptly is crucial to maintaining good indoor air quality. By taking these steps, you can help mitigate the potential health risks associated with mold growth and improve your living environment.
