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 address musty smell as tenant?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from the bedroom closet, and it only gets worse when we open the window. It's been going on for days now, and I’m not sure if this is something I should be dealing with as a tenant or if maybe it’s an issue the landlord needs to address. Could someone here help me understand what my rights are in this situation?

Absolutely, you should address the musty smell coming from your bedroom closet. In the UAE, particularly Dubai, such issues can be quite common, especially after rainfall, which brings about the possibility of mold growth and dampness. It’s important to understand that while as a tenant you're responsible for maintaining cleanliness in your living space, persistent odors may indicate underlying structural or maintenance issues that require attention.

Firstly, it's crucial to ensure proper ventilation. Open windows when possible, use dehumidifiers if the area feels overly damp, and make sure there are no obstructions preventing air flow around the closet. If opening a window exacerbates the smell, it might suggest a need for professional assessment of moisture levels or potential mold growth.

In Dubai, you can refer to the Federal Law No. 37 of 1980, which outlines tenant and landlord responsibilities, emphasizing that landlords are required to maintain premises in good condition. If you suspect mold due to water damage from recent rains, it's wise to have a professional inspection done by experts familiar with local conditions. This is especially true if the smell persists or intensifies.

I would recommend reaching out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a thorough evaluation and necessary remediation. They can help identify the source of the smell, provide a safe solution, and ensure that any issues are properly addressed. It’s also a good idea to document the condition before taking action; photos or notes about the date and extent of the smell could be beneficial if you need to escalate the issue.

Remember, addressing indoor air quality issues early can prevent larger problems down the line. Keeping open lines of communication with your landlord is key, as they are responsible for maintaining the property in good condition according to local laws. However, if no improvement is seen after reasonable dialogue or professional assessment, it might be necessary to involve a legal advisor familiar with tenant rights in Dubai.

Take care and I hope this helps you tackle the issue effectively!
