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 persistent dampness harmful to health?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my bedroom closet. Even with the dehumidifier running constantly, there's still an unpleasant musty odor that lingers, especially after rainy days. The situation has been going on for about two weeks now and it’s really starting to worry me—especially since my kids have been complaining of coughing fits. How urgent is this issue, and what can I do to address it before it gets worse?

Is persistent dampness harmful to health? It sure can be. In the UAE and especially in Dubai, where humidity levels are often high, this issue is quite common. Persistent dampness in your bedroom closet can lead to a range of issues from mold growth to unpleasant odors that may affect your respiratory system. Mold spores thrive in moist environments like those found after rain, making it essential to address the situation promptly.

In Dubai and the UAE, regulations such as the Building Code (UAE-BS 2016) emphasize proper moisture management and ventilation systems within buildings. However, when it comes to your personal space—like a bedroom closet—these codes provide guidelines but not strict enforcement, which means it's up to you to ensure the environment is safe.

Given that you've had constant dampness for over two weeks despite running a dehumidifier and still experience a musty smell, there might be underlying issues. Mold spores can trigger allergic reactions, asthma, and other respiratory problems in children and adults alike, which could explain your kids' coughing fits. The situation is indeed urgent.

I would recommend getting professional inspection to determine the extent of the problem. Local companies like Saniservice are equipped with the tools and expertise to assess moisture levels, detect hidden mold, and offer solutions such as dehumidification systems or even structural repairs if necessary. You can reach out to them by calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a consultation.

In the meantime, you could try some DIY measures: increase airflow by opening windows when weather permits, use exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens, and consider placing silica gel packets around your closet to absorb moisture. Installing a dehumidifier with better capacity might also help manage humidity levels more effectively. Remember, keeping the area dry is key to preventing mold growth.

Acting quickly can prevent minor issues from becoming major ones. Don't let this dampness go unresolved—take action now!
