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.

Why is there persistent dampness in my living room?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the corner of my living room. It started as a slight musty smell, but it’s getting stronger despite my efforts to clean and air out the space. The carpet feels noticeably wet even after multiple days. What could be causing this, and how can I prevent it from happening again?

There could be several reasons behind the persistent dampness and musty smell in your living room. In Dubai and the UAE, we often experience rapid changes in temperature and humidity due to our climate, which can lead to water infiltration issues especially after heavy rains. Here are a few possibilities:

Firstly, the issue may stem from a plumbing leak or a faulty pipe somewhere near that corner of the room. Check under sinks, behind walls, and around pipes for any signs of water damage or leaks. If you find anything amiss, it's crucial to address these issues immediately as they can cause significant structural damage over time.

Secondly, consider whether your air conditioning system could be contributing to the problem. High humidity levels in the air can lead to condensation on cold surfaces like windows and pipes, causing dampness. Ensure your AC is well-maintained with regular servicing by professionals who understand local climate conditions.

Thirdly, it’s possible that a poorly installed or blocked vent could be trapping moisture inside the room. Make sure all vents are unobstructed and functioning properly to allow for adequate air circulation. This can be especially problematic in high humidity environments like those often found in Dubai during certain seasons.

Lastly, inspect your carpet and subfloor for any signs of water damage. If there is a persistent dampness issue, it might be necessary to replace the carpet or even the entire subfloor if it's compromised. In such cases, professional remediation services may be required to ensure that all moisture issues are thoroughly resolved.

Given the specifics of your situation in Dubai, I would highly recommend consulting with an expert who can perform a thorough inspection and provide tailored advice based on the local climate and building codes. For assistance, you can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for professional guidance.

Remember to keep the area well-ventilated by opening windows when possible and using fans to promote air flow. Regular cleaning and maintenance will help prevent such issues from arising in the future.
