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 won't my closet's damp smell go away?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell in my master bedroom closet. It doesn’t seem to go away even after thorough cleaning, and it’s making me feel quite uncomfortable. The humidity seems particularly high despite using the dehumidifier. Have anyone else experienced something similar or know what could be causing this?

I've noticed the issue you're describing is quite common here in Dubai and the UAE. It sounds like the damp smell might be stemming from a hidden moisture problem that's been exacerbated by recent rainfall. This could indeed be due to poor ventilation or structural issues within your closet.

In the UAE, humidity levels can spike during rainy seasons, making it challenging for dehumidifiers to keep up with maintaining dry conditions. It’s possible that water is penetrating through walls, especially if there are cracks or gaps, or perhaps condensation is building up from the outside environment entering the enclosed space of your closet.

Given the discomfort this issue has caused and its persistence despite thorough cleaning, I strongly recommend a professional inspection to identify any hidden moisture sources. In Dubai, you might want to call 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) for a detailed assessment or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule one.

Specifically in the UAE, we have stringent building codes and regulations regarding indoor air quality and moisture management. Ensuring that your home is up to these standards not only enhances comfort but also prevents mold growth which can be harmful to health.

While waiting for inspection, consider using a hygrometer to monitor humidity levels and ensure proper ventilation by opening windows when possible or installing exhaust fans in the area. Additionally, sealing any gaps around doors and windows with weatherstripping can help reduce moisture intrusion.

If you do decide to seek professional assistance, make sure they are licensed and experienced in both mold remediation and indoor air quality management. They’ll be able to not only identify the source of your problem but also provide solutions that align with local regulations such as those set by the Emirates Standards Authority (ESA).

Hope this helps!
