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 due to mold in laundry room?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a strange musty smell coming from our shared laundry room. The carpet in there is quite old and damp, and it seems like the vents might not be functioning properly, as well. My kids have been complaining of coughing and sneezing since we started using that room more frequently. Could this be due to mold or poor ventilation? What can I do to address these issues and ensure a healthier environment for everyone?

Hello there! I’ve heard from some folks who have experienced musty smells and dampness issues in their shared laundry rooms. It's a concern that definitely needs addressing to ensure the well-being of everyone using the space.

In Dubai, it’s not uncommon for heavy rains to lead to water intrusion and subsequent mold growth, especially in areas like laundry rooms where moisture is already present due to frequent use of water and humidity from washing machines. The old carpet and dampness you mentioned could indeed be harboring mold spores, which can release allergens causing coughing and sneezing among your kids.

The UAE has strict regulations regarding indoor air quality (IAQ), particularly concerning the prevention and control of mold growth. Emirate laws like those in Dubai require properties to maintain a clean environment that does not pose health risks. Given the potential for mold, I would recommend getting a professional inspection done as soon as possible. This will help identify any existing mold colonies and ensure they are properly remediated.

For now, here are some steps you can take while awaiting an inspection:

1. Increase ventilation: Open windows if weather permits to allow fresh air in. Use exhaust fans or dehumidifiers to reduce moisture.
2. Clean surfaces: Wipe down walls and other surfaces with a solution of water and detergent. This might help remove visible mold, but remember that this is just cleaning; full remediation should be done by professionals.
3. Address the carpet: If it's old and damp, consider replacing or thoroughly cleaning it. Mold thrives in moisture-rich environments, so addressing the carpet can significantly reduce the risk of further growth.

If you need professional help, don't hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. We're here to ensure your laundry room is safe and healthy for everyone using it.

Remember, prompt action can prevent potential health issues and costly repairs down the line. Stay vigilant and keep an eye on the condition of your shared laundry room.
