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 hire professionals to address closet leaks?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell coming from the closet near my bedroom. It’s really starting to bother me, especially since we’ve lived in this apartment for two years and it never used to be an issue before. Should I consider hiring professionals to seal any leaks or ducts? What can typically be expected in terms of cost and time for such a job in Dubai?

Absolutely, it sounds like a prudent step to consider hiring professionals for this issue. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, we've seen several cases where persistent damp smells stem from unsealed ducts or leaks that haven't been properly addressed over time.

Given your specific situation – a closet near your bedroom persistently smelling musty after last month's rain – it would be wise to get a professional inspection. This will not only help identify the source of the smell but also ensure that any necessary sealing or repairs are done correctly and efficiently.

In Dubai, the cost for duct sealing can vary depending on several factors including the extent of work required and the expertise of the contractor. Typically, costs can range from AED 1000 to AED 3000 for a basic job, but this is just an estimate. Larger or more complex jobs may see higher charges.

The time frame for such a project also depends on the scope of work. A straightforward sealing task might take just one day, whereas if there are multiple leaks or if additional repairs are needed, it could stretch to two or three days. It's always best to discuss these details with your chosen contractor to get a precise quote and timeline.

Professional contractors in Dubai like Saniservice (you can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information) follow local regulations and standards, ensuring that any work done is up to code. They use high-quality materials and techniques to seal ducts effectively, preventing future issues such as mold growth which could be hazardous.

Remember, a small issue now can grow into bigger problems if left unchecked. Addressing this promptly not only improves your living comfort but also helps maintain the overall quality of your apartment's indoor environment.

So, if you're considering taking action, reach out to professionals who understand local regulations and can provide reliable services tailored to Dubai’s climate conditions.
