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.

Could musty smells affect my kids' health?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new apartment two months ago, I’ve noticed a persistent musty smell coming from the bedroom where my children sleep. It’s particularly noticeable right after rain showers, which has been happening more frequently lately due to the changing weather patterns. The kids have started coughing at night, and it worries me that it might be related to this air issue. Could there be something wrong with our indoor air quality, and what can I do to improve it?

Yes, musty smells can indeed affect your kids' health. In the UAE context, especially in areas like Dubai where humidity levels can be quite high, such odours often indicate a potential issue with indoor air quality. The musty smell you're describing is commonly associated with mold growth, which can release spores and mycotoxins that are harmful to your family's health.

Mold thrives in damp environments, making it more common after rain showers or during the cooler, wetter months. If there’s a persistent musty smell coming from your children’s bedroom, it might be due to moisture issues in the building. Moisture can seep into walls and floors, particularly if they have small cracks or are improperly sealed.

In Dubai, homes built with certain materials may not always meet local climate conditions adequately, leading to such problems. Additionally, poor ventilation or inadequate drainage systems could also contribute to mold growth. It's important to address this issue quickly as prolonged exposure can lead to respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and in some cases, exacerbate asthma symptoms.

To tackle this problem, start by ensuring that your home has good ventilation. Open windows when possible, especially after rain showers, and use exhaust fans over the kitchen and bathroom to reduce humidity levels. It’s also advisable to keep the relative humidity inside your home below 60% using dehumidifiers if necessary.

Inspect areas around the bedroom where moisture might gather—such as near windows or under carpets—and address any visible water damage promptly. If you find that mold has started growing, it's recommended to clean with a solution of one cup of bleach in one gallon of water (make sure to wear protective gear and have good ventilation). However, for larger areas of growth or if the smell persists, calling in professionals like those from Saniservice can be crucial. They are experienced in handling mold remediation and ensuring your home's air quality is safe.

Remember, when dealing with mold issues, it’s important not to touch or disturb the affected area as this could spread spores around your home. If you suspect that mold might be a serious issue, don’t hesitate to contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for an inspection and professional advice.

Taking these steps can help improve your family's health and create a more comfortable living environment in your new apartment.
