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 from closet harming family health?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains we had last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in my bedroom closet. It’s particularly noticeable when I open the door to access my clothes, especially on cooler days. My family hasn’t been feeling well lately, and I suspect it might be related to the humidity levels. Is there anything I can do to reduce the moisture in my closet and improve the air quality?

Yes, the musty smell from your closet can definitely be harmful to your family's health. The presence of mold and mildew growth due to high humidity levels is a common cause for such odors. In the UAE, particularly during rainy seasons or even cooler days as you mentioned, maintaining proper indoor air quality is crucial.

In Dubai, it’s not uncommon to experience higher humidity levels, especially after heavy rains. This can lead to moisture buildup in enclosed spaces like closets and could potentially support mold growth. Mold spores are known allergens that can irritate the respiratory system, leading to symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, and runny nose. In some cases, prolonged exposure can exacerbate asthma or trigger other allergic reactions.

To address this issue effectively:

1. Assess Humidity Levels: Use a hygrometer to measure the humidity in your home. Ideal indoor humidity should be between 30-50%. If it's higher than 60%, consider taking action.
2. Ventilate Properly: Ensure that the closet has proper ventilation, such as small windows or exhaust fans. Opening doors and windows on milder days can also help reduce moisture levels.
3. Use Dehumidifiers: In particularly humid areas, dehumidifiers can be a great solution to reduce excess moisture in the air.
4. Dry Out Clothes: If you have wet clothes that are stored, make sure they dry completely before storing them back.

If these steps don't alleviate your concerns or if the smell persists, it would be wise to seek professional assistance. Here at Saniservice, we offer comprehensive mold inspections and remediation services tailored for Dubai’s climate. Our team can help identify hidden sources of moisture and recommend effective solutions to keep your home healthy.

Remember, maintaining a clean and dry environment is key to preventing health issues related to humidity. If you decide to proceed with a professional inspection or have any other concerns, don't hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.
