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 the damp storage closet?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a lingering damp smell coming from the storage closet under the stairs. It’s really affecting my allergies and making it hard to breathe sometimes. The previous tenant said they didn’t clean that area much, but I’m not sure what cleaning tasks are expected of me as a renter here in Dubai. What should I do about this?

Absolutely, cleaning the damp storage closet is important and necessary for your health and well-being. In Dubai/UAE, it's crucial to maintain good indoor air quality due to our climate and the high humidity that can exacerbate allergies and respiratory issues.

Firstly, the UAE doesn't have specific regulations mandating what a renter must do with regard to cleaning storage areas, but following best practices ensures you're not just preventing odors and discomfort but also protecting your health. The lingering damp smell is a common issue in areas prone to moisture, like under stairs or near plumbing.

When tackling the closet, start by removing all items that can be easily moved—books, boxes of old photos, and other personal belongings. This will allow you to properly assess and clean the space. For those items that cannot be removed, ensure they are covered with plastic sheeting to prevent any moisture from affecting them.

Next, use a dehumidifier or air conditioner in conjunction with good ventilation. If possible, open windows for natural airflow when weather permits. This can help reduce humidity levels and decrease the likelihood of mold growth.

To clean, start by mopping the floor with a solution of water and household bleach (1 part bleach to 10 parts water). This is effective at killing bacteria and mold spores while being safe on most surfaces. Be sure to wear gloves when using such chemicals. For walls or surfaces that can't be easily cleaned this way, use a damp cloth or sponge. Always ensure the area is well-ventilated during cleaning.

If you notice any signs of active mold growth—such as discoloration or an increase in the musty smell—the situation may require professional attention. In such cases, it’s advisable to contact a company specializing in environmental inspection and remediation services like Saniservice. They can provide a thorough assessment and appropriate treatment if needed.

Remember, your health is paramount, so don’t hesitate to take action or seek professional advice if the problem persists after your initial cleaning efforts. And hey, if you ever need help with such issues, give us a call at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance!
