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 worry about damp smell in closet?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell lingering in my bedroom closet. My landlord assured me everything was fine, but with my kids having colds and coughs since it started, I’m starting to wonder if there’s an issue with the indoor air quality here. Has anyone else experienced similar issues in Dubai rentals?

Absolutely, it's prudent to take action regarding that damp smell in your closet. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, such issues can pose health risks, especially for young children and individuals who are already vulnerable like you mentioned about having kids with colds and coughs.

Firstly, the presence of a persistent damp smell suggests moisture accumulation which could be caused by various factors including plumbing leaks, poor ventilation or even high humidity levels. In Dubai, during the cooler months especially after rainy spells, such conditions can indeed create an environment where mold thrives. According to UAE building codes and regulations, it's essential for landlords to ensure their properties are well maintained and free from moisture-related issues.

Given your concerns, I recommend getting a professional inspection done as soon as possible. This is not just about the smell but also to assess if there's any hidden mold growth which can release spores into the air causing respiratory issues and allergies. Many companies in Dubai offer these services, including SANI Service who you could reach out at 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com for a consultation.

Additionally, you might want to check your closet's ventilation. Simple fixes like ensuring there are no blockages in the air vents and perhaps installing a dehumidifier can help mitigate moisture issues. Keeping clothes and other items off the floor and using moisture-absorbent materials or silica gel packets can also be beneficial.

Remember, it’s always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to indoor air quality, especially for your family's health. Don't hesitate to get that professional inspection done and if you decide not to pursue this route, at least keep an eye out for any changes in your health or signs of further moisture buildup.

Stay healthy and proactive!
