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 the closet mildew smell go away?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a mildew smell lingering in my master bedroom closet. Despite airing it out multiple times, the odor persists, especially after humid days. The closet is right next to the bathroom and doesn’t have much airflow. What could be causing this, and how can I prevent it from happening again?

The mildew smell in your closet could be due to excess moisture and poor air circulation. In Dubai, humidity can often rise after rain, leading to damp conditions that create an ideal environment for mold growth. Your closet being next to the bathroom might mean it's exposed to higher humidity levels from the bathroom activities.

To address this issue, start by improving airflow in your closet. You could install a small fan or open windows occasionally when weather permits, ensuring some fresh air can circulate through the space. Regularly checking for any water leakage or condensation on walls and floors is also crucial; if there's any sign of dampness, address it promptly.

A thorough clean using mild detergent and water might help remove existing mold. Be sure to dry the area completely afterward as moisture residue can lead to regrowth. Using a dehumidifier could significantly reduce humidity levels in your closet, making it less hospitable for mold spores.

Considering UAE regulations, it's important to maintain indoor air quality standards, especially given the climatic conditions here. The UAE doesn’t have specific laws on indoor air quality but public health and safety guidelines are recommended. If you find that the issue persists despite these measures or if you notice any structural damage like cracks in walls or leaks, it’s wise to consult a professional environmental inspector.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for expert advice on mold remediation services tailored specifically for Dubai's climate. Remember, prevention is key - keeping humidity levels low and ensuring proper ventilation can help maintain a healthier indoor environment in your home.

Hope this helps!
