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.

Is musty smell from closet linked to kids' illness?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in my bedroom closet. My kids have been experiencing frequent coughs and runny noses since then, especially during the evening when we return home from school. Could this be related to mold or mildew buildup in our closet? What steps should I take to clean it safely and ensure their health isn't compromised?

The musty smell from your closet could be linked to mold or mildew growth. In the UAE, especially during rainy periods like the one you mentioned last month, moisture can build up and create an environment where these microorganisms thrive. Mold and mildew release spores that can cause respiratory issues such as coughs, runny noses, and other symptoms your kids are experiencing.

Given the specific conditions in Dubai and the potential health risks, it’s advisable to have a professional inspection done to confirm whether mold or mildew is indeed present. The UAE, including Dubai, has strict building codes and regulations regarding indoor environmental quality, but identifying hidden issues often requires specialized knowledge and equipment.

Here are steps you can take:

1. Inspect the Closet: Look for visible signs of mold like discoloration or fuzzy patches on surfaces like walls, floors, or clothing. Check behind and under furniture where moisture might collect unnoticed.

2. Ventilation Check: Ensure your closet has proper ventilation to prevent moisture buildup. If it's not adequately ventilated, consider installing a dehumidifier or opening the window during dry periods to allow air circulation.

3. Clean the Closet: Wear protective gear like gloves and mask when cleaning. Use a solution of water and detergent to scrub affected areas, then rinse with clean water. Allow everything to dry completely before storing items back inside.

4. Deep Cleaning Supplies: You can use products specifically designed for mold removal if you’re comfortable doing so. However, for larger or more severe infestations, it's best to call in a professional service like Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) who are experts in handling such cases.

5. Prevent Future Issues: Seal any gaps around doors and windows that might allow moisture in. Regularly check for leaks or water damage, especially during rainy seasons.

Remember, the health of your family is paramount. If you suspect mold growth, don’t delay professional assistance to ensure safe remediation and a healthier home environment for your kids.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you need more information or help with cleaning your closet.
