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 mold in grandmother's bedroom?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the bedroom where my grandmother stays. The closet by her bed seems to be the worst spot—there’s a musty smell that doesn’t seem to go away no matter how many times I clean it out. I’m worried about potential mold growth and how it might affect my grandmother's health, especially since she has asthma. What can I do to prevent this from happening or recurring?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about the mold situation. Persistent dampness and a musty smell can indeed indicate mold growth which poses significant health risks, especially for someone like your grandmother who has asthma. Mold spores can trigger asthma attacks, cause respiratory issues, and exacerbate allergies.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, environmental conditions can lead to moisture accumulation, making mold a common concern. The region's high humidity levels during certain seasons can create an ideal environment for mold to thrive. Given your situation, it’s crucial to address this promptly to ensure both comfort and safety for your grandmother.

Firstly, consider hiring a professional inspection service like Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) to assess the extent of the mold issue in her bedroom. They will be able to provide you with a detailed report on the type and level of mold present, as well as recommendations for remediation.

In the meantime, take some immediate steps to reduce moisture levels and prevent further mold growth:
• Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows or using an exhaust fan when showering or cooking.
• Use dehumidifiers in high-risk areas such as bathrooms and bedrooms. Aim to keep the relative humidity below 60%.
• Clean up any water damage promptly. Mold can start growing within 24-48 hours of a leak or spill.
• Address potential sources of moisture, like leaking pipes or poor drainage systems.
• Regularly check and clean gutters and downspouts to prevent water from pooling around your home.

For the closet by her bed, try these tips:
• Move items that are susceptible to mold growth away from the wall and ensure they are well ventilated.
• Use silica gel packets in storage containers or place them on shelves as a natural desiccant to absorb excess moisture.
• Consider using a dehumidifier specifically for this area if it tends to stay damp.

Remember, early intervention is key. Mold remediation should be handled by professionals who can ensure the safety of your home and its occupants while effectively eliminating the source of mold growth.

By taking these steps, you’ll create a healthier living environment for your grandmother and reduce the risk of mold-related health issues.
