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 we worry about bedroom closet contamination?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a strange musty smell coming from the bedroom closet. The walls seem damp even though I’ve checked multiple times to ensure there are no leaks. My kids have been coughing more frequently since we moved into this new apartment complex, and I’m worried it might be related to some kind of contaminant in our home. How urgent is it for us to address this issue?

Absolutely, your concerns about the musty smell and damp walls in the bedroom closet should be addressed promptly. The presence of such symptoms could indicate a potential indoor air quality issue that requires professional attention.

Firstly, it's crucial to understand that humidity levels are quite high in Dubai during certain times of the year, especially post-rainfall or after monsoon-like conditions. This can lead to moisture buildup and subsequent mold growth. Mold thrives in damp environments and can produce spores that might trigger allergic reactions or exacerbate respiratory issues. Given your kids' increased coughing since moving into the apartment complex, it’s highly probable that this could be linked to indoor contaminants.

Given the specific context of the UAE and Dubai, you should be aware of local regulations surrounding indoor environmental quality (IEQ). The UAE Ministry of Public Works has guidelines on building codes and health standards which include provisions for managing moisture and mold. Ensuring compliance with these can prevent further health risks.

I strongly recommend having a professional inspection done to identify any contaminants in your home. A licensed company like Saniservice, who operate at 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com, would be able to assess the situation accurately and provide appropriate remediation steps.

In the meantime, you can take some immediate actions:
1. Ensure proper ventilation in your bedroom, particularly after rain events.
2. Use dehumidifiers if possible to reduce moisture levels inside the closet.
3. Clean surfaces with a damp cloth to remove any visible mold (use caution and wear protective gear).
4. Monitor for increased symptoms among family members closely.

Addressing these issues promptly can help safeguard your family's health and ensure a healthier living environment in your new apartment complex.

Remember, it’s always better to be proactive about indoor air quality, especially when dealing with potential contaminants like mold.
