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 my closet harmful?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell in my bedroom closet. Even though it hasn’t rained since then, the smell persists, especially during humid days. It’s really bothering me because it could be affecting my kids’ health too. Have you experienced this before and how did you deal with it?

A musty smell in your closet can indeed be concerning. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, such smells could indicate the presence of moisture leading to mold growth. Mold spores are quite common and can proliferate quickly when conditions are right. In this case, it's possible that a small amount of water from the rain last month might have caused some unseen damage, leading to persistent mold growth.

In the UAE, as per the Environmental Protection Law (Federal Law No. 24 of 1986), maintaining good indoor air quality is essential for health and comfort in residential areas. This regulation underscores the importance of addressing such issues promptly.

Given that you've noticed this smell persisting even after a lack of recent rainfall, it's advised to conduct a professional inspection by calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com. A qualified inspector will be able to assess the situation and identify any hidden moisture sources or mold growth that may not be visible.

If mold is confirmed, removing it and addressing the underlying moisture issue is crucial for your family's health, especially considering its potential impact on children’s respiratory systems. Mold exposure can cause allergic reactions, asthma attacks, and other respiratory issues.

To prevent such situations in the future, ensure proper ventilation in your home, particularly in areas like closets where humidity levels are often higher. Using dehumidifiers or air conditioners during humid periods can help manage moisture levels effectively.

Remember, addressing these issues early is key to preventing further damage and maintaining a healthy indoor environment for you and your family.
