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.

Why won't the musty smell go away?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in the corner of our living room. It’s particularly noticeable when we open the windows, and it doesn’t seem to go away no matter how many times I clean that area. Have you ever dealt with this issue before? What steps can I take to get rid of the mold and ensure it doesn't come back?

The musty smell you're experiencing could be due to mold growing behind the walls or under the floorboards. This is especially common after rain and can persist even if you clean the area because it might have already taken root. In Dubai, high humidity levels and occasional rains can create ideal conditions for mold growth.

First off, it's crucial to identify the source of moisture. Check areas around windows, doors, air conditioning units, or any part that has been in contact with water during rainfall. If you find wet spots or if your walls are feeling damp, this could indicate where mold is thriving.

To properly address the issue, a thorough inspection by a professional would be advisable to ensure no hidden mold growth and to identify underlying moisture issues. In the UAE, it’s important to comply with building codes which often require regular checks for indoor air quality and environmental safety. If you decide to take on this task yourself, wear protective gear such as gloves, masks, and goggles.

Begin by cleaning the affected area with a mixture of water and a solution made from one cup of bleach per gallon of water. This can help kill visible mold colonies. However, if you find that the smell persists or notice any discoloration on surfaces, it's time to call in experts. Saniservice is a company based here in Dubai that specializes in these issues. You can contact them at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for professional help.

Preventing mold from coming back involves addressing the moisture source and ensuring proper ventilation. Consider using dehumidifiers, especially during rainy seasons, to keep indoor humidity levels low. Also, make sure that areas prone to water exposure have adequate drainage and are properly sealed or insulated to prevent leaks.

Regular maintenance of your home’s HVAC system can also reduce the risk of mold growth. If you notice any signs of mold in other parts of your home, act fast as it's easier to manage small infestations than larger ones that spread over time.

Remember, prevention is key. By maintaining a dry and clean environment, you'll significantly lower the chances of encountering such issues again.
