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.

Can I fix musty bedroom closet smell?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from the bedroom closet. Despite running the dehumidifier all day, the smell hasn't gone away and my kids have been complaining of congestion. Is this something that could be fixed by me or should I call in an HVAC specialist?

Absolutely, the musty smell from your bedroom closet could be tackled without necessarily needing to call an HVAC specialist. But first, it's crucial you understand what might be causing the issue and if it needs a more professional touch.

In Dubai/UAE, humidity levels can soar due to climatic conditions, making it a perfect breeding ground for mold growth—especially in closets where airflow is limited. The smell you're experiencing could be from active or dormant mold colonies. Running your dehumidifier all day suggests you've already taken some steps but the issue persists.

Firstly, ensure that your closet remains well-ventilated. Open windows or use a fan to let fresh air in and expel stale air. This can help reduce moisture levels and inhibit mold growth. Additionally, consider using silica gel packets or baking soda to absorb any lingering dampness within the closet.

Cleaning is also key—dust, cobwebs, and other debris can provide an environment for microorganisms like mold to thrive. Use a mixture of water and mild detergent to clean the interior surfaces of your closet, focusing particularly on corners where moisture tends to accumulate. Let everything air dry completely before closing up the space again.

If you have carpets or rugs in the closet area, make sure they are properly dried out after any moisture incidents, as these can harbor mold spores if not treated correctly.

However, it's important to note that if the smell persists despite your efforts and if your kids continue to experience respiratory issues like congestion, this could be a sign of more serious underlying problems such as extensive mold growth or other pollutants. In such cases, I'd recommend calling in an HVAC specialist or even a professional environmental inspection company for a thorough check-up.

Remember, in the UAE including Dubai, it's crucial to comply with local building and health codes. If you suspect that your indoor air quality is compromised, getting a certified professional to inspect can help ensure everything meets safety standards.
