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.

Where is this musty smell coming from?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I noticed a strange musty smell in my coworking space at home—it’s especially noticeable when I open the windows. It feels like there might be some mold or mildew growing somewhere, but I’m not sure where since it’s been fine until now. Where could this smell be coming from and what should I do to clean it up?

The musty smell you're experiencing could be due to mold or mildew growth. This is quite common after dust storms, which can bring in moisture and dust that might harbor these microorganisms. In dubai/UAE, the humidity levels can sometimes fluctuate unpredictably, especially after such weather events, making it a perfect breeding ground for molds.

Firstly, i'd recommend you to take some immediate actions to mitigate any potential issues:

1. Dry Out Your Space: Open windows if possible but keep an eye on moisture levels inside your home. Use dehumidifiers or air conditioners to reduce the humidity and dry out the space as quickly as possible.

2. Inspect Common Areas: Check areas where mold and mildew are more likely to grow, such as behind furniture, under carpets, in corners, and around window sills. These areas might need cleaning or even professional inspection.

3. Clean with a Solution: Use a mixture of water and vinegar or baking soda to clean surfaces you suspect might be affected. This can help remove any existing mold and mildew.

4. Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation in your coworking space. In dubai/UAE, it’s crucial to maintain good air flow as high humidity can contribute to the growth of molds.

5. Professional Inspection: If the smell persists or you find visible signs of mold, it is best to call for a professional inspection. This is especially important if you suspect heavy contamination which might require remediation efforts. In dubai/UAE, companies like saniservice are known to provide such services and can help assess the extent of the issue and recommend appropriate cleaning procedures.

Remember, in the uae/dubai region, it's always best to follow local regulations when dealing with mold issues. The emirates have specific codes that govern indoor air quality, so ensure any remediation actions comply with these guidelines.
