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 new AC cause musty bedroom odor?« Back to Previous Page

Since the new central air conditioning unit was installed a few months ago, I’ve noticed an unusual odor coming from the bedroom where my children sleep. It’s not too bad during the day but gets stronger at night. The smell is musty and makes me worry about their health, especially since they’ve been complaining of coughing more frequently lately. Has anyone else experienced similar issues with new AC units or do you have any advice on how to address this?

Absolutely, new AC units can indeed cause musty odors in bedrooms. This is quite common in the UAE and Dubai area where central air conditioning systems are a staple during our hot and humid summers. The smell you're experiencing could be due to several factors including poor installation, inadequate maintenance, or the presence of mold.

Firstly, it's important to understand that new AC units can have moisture left over from the manufacturing process which can take time to dissipate. However, if this odor persists or worsens after a few months, there might be an underlying issue. In the UAE, our climate is quite harsh and can lead to condensation issues within these systems.

To address your concern, I would highly recommend having a professional inspection carried out. Here in Dubai and the UAE, we have strict regulations for indoor air quality that you should consider following. A qualified HVAC contractor will be able to check if there's any mold growth or other issues with the unit that could cause such odors.

In the meantime, ensure proper ventilation throughout your home, especially at night when the bedrooms are more susceptible to musty smells. Running a dehumidifier in the bedroom can help reduce moisture levels and alleviate some of the odor. Additionally, keeping windows slightly open during cooler parts of the day might improve air circulation.

If you suspect mold growth due to this issue, it’s crucial not to ignore it as it can lead to serious health concerns for your children and other family members. I would strongly advise reaching out to our team at Saniservice for a professional inspection. You can contact us through 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. Early detection and remediation are key in ensuring healthy indoor air quality.

Remember, in the UAE, maintaining good indoor air quality is not only about comfort but also about health and safety. Keeping an eye on these symptoms and acting promptly can prevent more serious issues down the line.
