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 clean closet mold myself or call a pro?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a strange musty odor coming from my daughter’s bedroom closet. The storm was so bad that it blew in all sorts of debris, including some old cardboard boxes and an unused blanket I hadn’t touched in years. It smells really awful, and it makes me worry about mold or mildew growing inside the closet. Should I try to clean this up myself, or should I call a professional?

Absolutely, i'd strongly recommend calling a professional for such a case. Especially after a dust storm that sent debris flying through the air and into your daughter's bedroom closet, it’s wise to take action to ensure you're dealing with mold or mildew properly. In the UAE, specifically in Dubai, there are certain regulations regarding indoor environmental quality which may be violated if not handled correctly.

The musty odor you’ve noticed could be a sign of either mold or mildew growth. Both can pose serious health risks, especially for children and those with respiratory issues. Mold and mildew thrive in damp conditions, so it's possible that the cardboard boxes and unused blanket, which were exposed to moisture from the storm, have created an ideal environment for these organisms to grow.

Handling mold yourself could be tricky. You need to ensure you properly clean and disinfect the area without spreading spores around your home or causing further damage. Professionals like Saniservice have the right equipment and knowledge to safely remove mold, including proper containment of the affected area, application of appropriate cleaning agents, and ensuring that all areas are thoroughly dried.

Before calling a pro, though, you can do a quick assessment. Look for signs such as dark spots on walls or ceilings, water stains, or musty odors. If you spot any of these, it’s best to contact an expert immediately. Saniservice offers services like mold testing and remediation which are crucial in ensuring that your home is safe from harmful microorganisms.

Remember, in the UAE, we take indoor air quality seriously. Not only do you want a healthy living environment for your family but also compliance with local regulations is key. If you suspect there’s any mold or mildew growth, don’t hesitate to call 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. They can provide a thorough inspection and give you peace of mind knowing that your family's health is protected.

Taking action now will save you from potential long-term health issues and costly repairs down the line. Don't let this storm turn into a bigger problem for your household.
