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 worry about musty smell in closet?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell in my bedroom closet that won't go away. Even with the dehumidifier running non-stop, it still feels like there's moisture trapped inside. My kids have been complaining of coughing and congestion every morning. How urgent is this issue, and what should I do to address it before it affects our health more?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about the musty smell in your closet. This odor is often indicative of moisture issues which could lead to mold growth and other health concerns for your family.

In Dubai/UAE, indoor air quality can vary significantly due to climatic conditions, especially after heavy rains. The UAE's Building Code (PBC) 2017, while not directly addressing musty odors, does emphasize the importance of maintaining proper indoor environmental quality through adequate ventilation and moisture control.

The persistent musty smell in your closet, even with a dehumidifier running, suggests that there might be an underlying issue. Mold thrives in moist environments, and it's possible that the humidity levels are not being effectively managed. Kids complaining of coughing and congestion could be symptoms linked to mold exposure or other indoor air pollutants.

Given these concerns, I would recommend scheduling a professional inspection by contacting us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com. Our team can assess the situation, identify sources of moisture and mold, and provide recommendations for remediation. Early intervention is crucial to prevent further health issues.

In the meantime, you can take a few steps:
1. Increase ventilation by opening windows when weather permits.
2. Use fans or air conditioning to circulate air.
3. Check if there are any leaks in your closet or nearby areas and address them promptly.
4. Ensure good maintenance of your dehumidifier and perhaps consider using a moisture meter to monitor humidity levels.

Remember, addressing this issue quickly can help protect the health of you and your family. Don't hesitate to reach out for professional advice and assistance.
