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 a musty smell in a new home harmful?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell creeping into our new living room. It's particularly noticeable when we open the windows or turn on the air conditioning. My kids have been coughing more than usual, and I suspect it might be from mold or dust that has settled in the corners of this recently renovated space. Have any of you experienced similar issues with a musty smell and respiratory symptoms after moving into a new home?

Yes, a musty smell in a new home can be harmful. The smell is often associated with mold growth which thrives in damp and humid conditions. In the UAE like Dubai, we experience some humidity during certain times of the year, especially after rains or heavy dew. This climate could contribute to the development of mold in your living room.

Mold spores are common in the air, but when they find a moist environment with organic material, they can start growing and releasing mycotoxins that may cause respiratory issues like coughing, sneezing, and even more severe reactions for those who have allergies or asthma. In Dubai, where many homes are newly constructed and often contain materials that could be favorable to mold growth, it's not uncommon to experience such issues.

If you're experiencing a musty smell coupled with coughing in your kids, I recommend having the air quality of your new living room professionally inspected. The UAE has strict building regulations concerning indoor environmental quality but these inspections can ensure there are no hidden risks like excessive moisture or mold growth that could impact your family's health.

You might want to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation and inspection. Early detection is key in preventing long-term health effects associated with mold exposure. Don't wait until the smell intensifies, act now to safeguard your home and your family’s health.

Moreover, keeping your home well-ventilated by opening windows when possible and using dehumidifiers can help prevent moisture buildup which promotes mold growth. Regularly checking corners of walls and ceilings for any discoloration or dampness is a good practice too.

Remember, prevention is always better than cure, so take proactive steps to ensure your new home remains healthy and safe for everyone living there.
