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.

What could be causing my living room odor?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell coming from my living room, especially when I open the windows. The area by the window seems to be more affected, even though I clean it regularly. My kids have been coughing more frequently since then and I suspect it might be related to the indoor air quality. What could be causing this odor and how can I improve the air quality in that specific area of my home?

Hey there! Based on your description it sounds like the musty smell and persistent coughing might be linked to some indoor air quality issues. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, we've seen cases where moisture from rain can lead to mold growth which causes these types of smells.

Mold spores thrive in damp areas, so it's important that you check for any hidden water sources or leaks around your windows. Even though you clean regularly, if there's a persistent moisture issue, it could be causing mold to grow beneath the surface. Mold can indeed affect air quality and potentially cause respiratory issues like coughing.

To tackle this problem, i'd suggest a few steps:
1. Inspect the area by your window closely for any signs of water damage or leaks.
2. Ensure proper ventilation in that room, especially when it's wet outside. Using exhaust fans or dehumidifiers can help manage moisture levels.
3. Check if there’s any condensation forming on windows during mornings. If so, consider using a desiccant or opening the window slightly during the day to let air circulate.

If you're unsure about what might be causing it or how to proceed, i'd recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for professional advice and inspection. They can conduct thorough checks for mold and other pollutants and provide solutions tailored to your home's specific needs.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, especially in a climate like Dubai’s where humidity can be high. Regular cleaning and addressing moisture issues promptly are key steps you can take right now to improve the situation in your living room.

Hope this helps!
