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 heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from the closet in our bedroom. It's been there ever since, even though I’ve tried airing out the clothes and using deodorizers. The smell is really starting to bother me, but I’m not sure if it’s just a musty odor or something more serious that could be harmful. Can someone advise on whether I should try cleaning this up myself or if I need professional help?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about that musty smell emanating from your closet. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, humidity can really take its toll on indoor environments leading to potential issues like mold growth or mildew which often manifest as a musty odor.

Firstly, it's essential to understand that such odors might not just be a simple case of dampness but could indicate deeper problems. Mold and mildew thrive in humid conditions and can start growing behind walls, under carpets, or even inside closets. These fungi release spores into the air which can cause respiratory issues for some individuals, especially those with allergies or asthma.

Given your situation, I'd recommend having a professional inspection done to assess the extent of any potential mold growth. In Dubai, you can call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for an expert evaluation and remediation plan if necessary.

If your closet smells musty but doesn't seem overly damp to the touch, it might be a good idea to inspect the area closely. Check for any water stains on walls or ceiling, peeling paint, or signs of moisture damage. Also, make sure that the air flow in the closet is adequate; sometimes, poor ventilation can contribute to musty odors.

Cleaning up yourself could be fine if it's just a surface issue but might not address underlying problems. Professional services often use specialized cleaning agents and equipment to ensure thorough treatment and prevent recurrence.

In the meantime, you can try improving air circulation in the closet by opening doors and windows when possible (but remember the climate in Dubai can be quite hot) or using fans. Keeping the area dry is key - ensure that clothes are aired out properly before storing them away. Using a dehumidifier might also help manage moisture levels.

Remember, in Dubai, we often experience extreme weather conditions like heavy rains which can lead to water intrusion and subsequent mold growth. Taking proactive steps now could save you from bigger issues down the line.

So, while it's okay to attempt some basic cleaning yourself, if the smell persists or worsens, don't hesitate to call for professional assistance.
