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 odor affect my kids' health?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new apartment three months ago, I’ve noticed a persistent musty odor coming from the bedroom where my kids sleep. The window is sealed shut most of the time due to the hot weather, but even with the AC on, the smell seems to linger. Given that they’ve been coughing more frequently lately, could this be related to indoor air quality issues? What steps can I take to improve the air in their sleeping area?

Could musty odor affect my kids' health? That's definitely something to be concerned about. Persistent odors like the one you're experiencing can indeed have adverse effects on your family’s well-being, especially when it comes to respiratory health and overall comfort.

In dubai, the high humidity levels during certain months of the year can contribute to the growth of mold, which is a common source of musty smells. Mold thrives in damp environments and can produce spores that become airborne, potentially leading to respiratory issues such as coughing, sneezing, or exacerbating asthma symptoms.

Given your situation where you've noticed an increase in coughing among your children since moving into the new apartment, it's important to consider indoor air quality. Dubai has specific regulations regarding building standards and indoor air quality that we should be aware of. The Emirates Environmental Group (EEG) and the Dubai Municipality are key bodies overseeing these guidelines.

First steps you can take include ensuring proper ventilation in your home. Although windows may stay sealed due to the climate, consider using exhaust fans or dehumidifiers to manage moisture levels, which can help reduce mold growth. Keep humidity levels below 60% by using a hygrometer and regularly cleaning areas prone to moisture like bathrooms and kitchens.

If the musty odor persists despite your efforts, it would be wise to consult with professionals who specialize in indoor air quality inspections. They can conduct thorough assessments of your home’s environment for mold, pollutants, or other issues that could affect your family's health.

Remember, early detection and remediation are crucial to preventing long-term health impacts. Should you need assistance, feel free to contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection and guidance tailored to your specific needs.

Stay proactive about the air quality in your home; it's an investment not just in comfort but also in the health of your family.
