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 my bedroom closet, and it’s really starting to worry me, especially with my children spending more time at home. The smell seems to be getting stronger, and there are even some mold spots on the walls. Is there anything specific I can do to clean this area better and ensure it’s safe for my family?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about the mold situation in your closet. Mold growth can pose serious health risks, especially for kids and those with allergies or asthma. In Dubai, we adhere to local regulations set by the UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) which mandate that properties maintain a clean and hygienic environment free from harmful molds.

The musty smell you're noticing is a clear sign of moisture accumulation, which is favorable for mold growth. Mold can spread quickly in humid environments like closets if not addressed promptly. The spots you've seen on the walls are likely early signs of infestation; it's important to deal with them before they get worse.

Firstly, ensure that you tackle the source of the moisture issue. Check your closet for any leaks or condensation issues. Fixing a water leak from pipes or roof damage is crucial, but also consider improving ventilation in your closet. Adding exhaust fans can help keep humidity levels down and prevent mold growth.

Next, clean thoroughly using a mixture of water and detergent to remove visible mold. For tougher spots, you might need a solution of bleach (1 cup per gallon of water), though this should be used with caution as it may damage some surfaces like wood or paint. It's recommended to wear gloves and protective clothing when cleaning.

If the problem persists despite your efforts, it’s advisable to call in professionals from companies like Saniservice, who can provide a thorough inspection and remediation if necessary. Their contact details are 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, maintaining indoor air quality is paramount for your family's health in Dubai’s climate. Regular checks and prompt action can prevent mold from taking hold again. Stay vigilant and proactive to keep your home a safe haven for everyone.
