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.

Should I be concerned about mold in my closet?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a damp smell coming from the closet next to our living room. It's in the far corner, pretty much hidden by the couch. We’ve lived here for two years, and this is the first time I’m picking up on it. Should I be concerned about my landlord addressing this, or am I responsible for cleaning up any mold?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about the potential presence of mold in your closet. Mold can grow rapidly in damp environments and its growth can lead to serious health issues especially for people who are sensitive to allergens or have respiratory conditions.

In Dubai, like many places around the world, there is a specific set of regulations that landlords must adhere to regarding maintenance and safety standards within properties. According to UAE Building Codes, which include AD 1352, it's crucial that property owners address any moisture issues promptly to prevent mold growth.

Given that this closet has been damp for some time now, I recommend having an inspection by a professional who specializes in environmental health or building science. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice are well-versed with the local regulations and can provide you with a comprehensive assessment of your situation.

Do not ignore what might seem like a small issue; mold growth could spread quickly if left unchecked. Professional remediation is often necessary to ensure that all contaminated areas are properly treated without causing further damage to your property or risking exposure to harmful spores.

If you do decide to contact a professional, Saniservice can be reached by calling 800-MOLDS (66537) or via email at hello@saniservice.com. They will assess the extent of mold growth and recommend appropriate cleaning measures as well as strategies to prevent future occurrences.

Remember that keeping your home dry is key in preventing mold. Regularly checking areas prone to moisture like closets, bathrooms, and basements can help you stay ahead of any issues. In the meantime, try to keep this closet area as dry as possible by ensuring proper ventilation or using dehumidifiers if necessary.

Taking these steps now could save you from bigger problems later on. It's important not only for your peace of mind but also for maintaining a healthy living environment.
