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 in our bedroom closet. The area where the hotel cleaned our rented apartment seems to be retaining moisture, even though it's been two months since we moved out. My kids have been coughing more often lately, and I’m worried it might be from mold or dust they’re tracking in from that damp spot. Is there anything specific I should check for or clean to make sure the air is safe for my family?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about mold in your closet. It's crucial to take proactive steps to ensure the air quality and comfort of your family, especially considering their recent coughing issues.

Firstly, let me tell you that dampness is a big issue in Dubai during the monsoon season or even after unexpected rainfalls. The high humidity can certainly lead to mold growth if not properly addressed. In the UAE, regulations require building owners to maintain indoor air quality and prevent dampness, but it’s always good to double-check.

When it comes to mold, the first thing you should do is inspect your closet for visible signs of moisture or mold. Look out for dark spots, slimy textures, or a musty smell. Mold can grow in hidden areas too, so check behind furniture and around windows and doors where water might have entered.

To clean up, start by removing all items from the closet to assess the damage. Use a solution of 1 cup bleach per gallon of water to scrub any visible mold off hard surfaces like walls or shelves. Be sure to wear gloves, goggles, and a mask during this process. For porous materials like wood or carpet that can’t be salvaged, discard them properly.

After cleaning, ensure good ventilation by opening windows if possible, using fans, or running an air purifier with a HEPA filter. This will help reduce moisture levels in the closet and prevent mold from coming back.

However, given the severity of your situation and to avoid any potential health hazards for your kids, it’s highly recommended that you seek professional assistance. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can provide thorough inspections and remediation services. You can contact them by calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, mold issues should not be ignored as they can lead to serious health problems including respiratory issues, allergies, and asthma exacerbation. Keeping a clean and dry environment is key in protecting your family’s health.

Call 800-MOLDS now if you need any further assistance or an inspection.
