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 harmful for my baby?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell in the bedroom where I keep my baby’s crib. It’s especially noticeable when we open the windows or turn on the fan to cool down. The smell is quite strong and has been there for over two weeks now. Is this kind of smell linked to any health risks for babies?

Yes, the musty smell in your baby's bedroom can be linked to health risks. This type of odor is often associated with mold growth which could pose serious concerns for your child’s well-being. In Dubai and the UAE, regulations like those from the Emirates Standards Authority (ESA) do not specifically address indoor air quality as a public health issue, but they do mandate that buildings must be designed to prevent moisture accumulation which can lead to mold.

When water or high humidity is present, mold spores can thrive creating an environment where toxic substances known as mycotoxins may form. These can irritate your baby’s respiratory system causing coughing, wheezing, and even asthma attacks. In some cases, prolonged exposure might trigger allergic reactions like skin rashes, watery eyes, or runny nose.

Given the duration of the smell you've noticed and its persistence, it would be wise to have a professional environmental inspection done as soon as possible. Saniservice is a reputable company in Dubai that can help diagnose the source of the smell and recommend appropriate remediation steps. Their contact details are 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or you can reach out via email at hello@saniservice.com.

Do not ignore this issue. A simple inspection could save your baby from potential health risks, especially in a climate like Dubai's where humidity levels can fluctuate significantly. Take action now to ensure your home environment is safe and healthy for your family.
