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 worried about dampness in my closet?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a dampness in my bedroom closet, and it’s been getting worse. The smell is persistent even with dehumidifiers running. My landlord hasn’t mentioned anything about indoor air quality or maintenance of humidity levels in the building. Should I be concerned about this, or is it just something minor that I should address myself?

Absolutely, you should be worried about the dampness in your closet. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, high humidity levels can lead to a variety of issues that go beyond just an unpleasant smell. The persistent dampness and odor could indicate signs of mold growth, which is not only unhealthy but also against local regulations.

In the UAE, building codes require regular maintenance to ensure indoor air quality (IAQ) remains at acceptable standards. According to the UAE’s Building Code, Section 17.3.6 specifically addresses moisture control in buildings, emphasizing the importance of proper ventilation and dehumidification systems. This is crucial because high humidity can lead to structural damage as well as mold proliferation.

The smell you’re experiencing could be a result of dampness combined with bacterial or fungal growth. Mold thrives in humid environments and can produce spores that are harmful when inhaled, leading to respiratory issues like allergies, asthma, and even more severe conditions such as pneumonia. It’s important to address this situation promptly for both your health and the longevity of your property.

Given the severity of these concerns, I strongly recommend you get a professional inspection. Contacting an environmental inspection and remediation company can help identify if there are any other hidden issues that might be contributing to the dampness or mold growth. Here in Dubai, companies like Saniservice can provide comprehensive solutions including dehumidification systems, air filtration units, and even mold remediation services.

If you're unsure about who to call, you could start with calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. They are well-versed in dealing with these kinds of issues and can offer tailored advice based on the specific conditions in your home.

In addition to professional help, there are a few steps you can take yourself. Ensure that your closet is properly ventilated; open windows if possible, or use exhaust fans to remove excess moisture. Also, clean any water stains or mold growth you find with an appropriate cleaner and consider using silica gel packets or desiccants to absorb extra humidity.

Remember, in Dubai, the heat and high humidity can exacerbate these issues quickly, so prompt action is advised. Taking care of this now will not only improve your indoor air quality but also help prevent costly structural damage down the line.
