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 indoor air covered by insurance?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a strange musty smell in my bedroom closet. The humidity has always been an issue there, especially during the monsoon season, but it’s gotten much worse recently. My kids have started coughing more than usual, and I’m worried it might be linked to the air quality. Could this be due to mold growth? What can I do to improve the air quality in my closet?

Indoor air quality (IAQ) is indeed a critical concern in the UAE, especially considering environmental factors like humidity and rainfall. IAQ can be influenced by various factors including mold growth, which you have experienced in your bedroom closet.

The musty smell and increased coughing among your kids could very well be linked to mold growth, particularly if moisture levels are high. Mold thrives in humid environments and can produce spores that may trigger allergies or respiratory issues, especially for children who might be more sensitive.

In Dubai and the UAE, there aren't specific regulations directly covering indoor air quality under insurance policies. However, it is common practice to include coverage for structural damage caused by water leaks or floods which could lead to mold growth. If you suspect mold in your closet due to heavy rains last month, you should consider getting a professional inspection.

Saniservice can help with that - they offer expert mold testing and remediation services tailored for the UAE climate. They can assess the extent of any mold growth and recommend appropriate cleaning or removal measures. Their number is 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or you can email them at hello@saniservice.com.

To improve air quality in your closet, start by addressing the moisture issue. Use a dehumidifier to keep humidity levels low and consider using mold inhibitors. Regularly inspect and clean areas prone to dampness like corners and behind furniture. Ventilation is key - ensure good airflow through the room or closet.

Remember, prevention is better than cure when it comes to indoor air quality. By maintaining proper humidity levels and addressing any moisture-related issues promptly, you can significantly reduce the risk of mold growth and improve the overall IAQ in your home. If you're unsure about anything, don't hesitate to seek professional advice.
