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 my closet?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in our bedroom closet. My daughter has been coughing a lot lately, and I can’t shake the feeling that it might be related to mold or dust mites from the dampness. The closet is where we keep all of my winter clothes and shoes from when we moved here last year. Has anyone else experienced similar issues in Dubai? What steps should I take to clean and dehumidify the area safely?

Absolutely, it's wise to consider the possibility of mold in your closet. Mold growth can indeed be triggered by even small amounts of moisture and is a common issue during rainy periods like you've experienced recently. In Dubai, where we face both high temperatures and occasional heavy rains, it’s not uncommon for such issues to arise, especially with older or less well-insulated properties.

Firstly, you should know that in the UAE, there are no specific regulations mandating mold testing or remediation procedures, but adhering to general health and safety guidelines is crucial. Given your symptoms and concerns over potential exposure to mold spores or dust mites, it's highly advisable to take proactive steps to address this issue.

Start by thoroughly drying out the closet area. Use a dehumidifier if necessary; you can find suitable models at local stores like Al Faisaliyah Plaza or Mall of the Emirates. Ensure the closet has proper ventilation and air circulation. If possible, open windows (after ensuring it’s safe to do so) for natural airflow.

Next, clean the area using a mixture of water and mild detergent. Scrub any visible mold with this solution and allow everything to dry completely before putting items back in storage. For shoes or other items that can't be easily cleaned, consider placing them on newspaper or plastic sheets which can help contain spores.

If you find the task overwhelming or if mold is extensive, it might be prudent to seek professional assistance. Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) offers expert services including thorough mold inspections and remediation, ensuring your home remains safe and healthy for everyone in the household.

Lastly, consider making some long-term changes to prevent such issues from recurring. Seal any gaps where moisture might enter, and ensure good insulation around storage areas. Also, regularly check for signs of dampness or water leaks which could indicate a need for maintenance.

Taking these steps will not only address your current concerns but also help maintain better indoor air quality in your home.
