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 my kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in the closet where we store all the winter clothes. My kids have started to cough more frequently since they've been using that closet to play with their toys. Could this be related to the cleaning or lack thereof? What steps should I take to clean and deodorize the area properly?

The musty smell from the closet where your family keeps their winter clothes could indeed be harmful to your kids. The odor is often a sign of mold growth which can release spores into the air, causing respiratory issues and exacerbating allergies or asthma symptoms. In Dubai, as in many parts of UAE, humidity levels can fluctuate significantly, especially after rainy seasons like the one you've experienced last month. This moisture creates an ideal environment for mold to thrive.

The increased coughing your kids have been experiencing might be linked to this issue. Exposure to mold spores can irritate the respiratory system and may lead to symptoms such as coughing, runny nose, wheezing, or even more severe reactions in individuals with compromised immune systems.

Given the situation, it's advisable to take a few steps before considering any DIY cleaning efforts:

1. Ventilate: Open windows or use exhaust fans if possible to help reduce moisture levels.
2. Clean surfaces: Scrub away visible mold using a mixture of water and detergent or a commercial mold cleaner. Be sure to wear gloves and a mask during this process.
3. Drying: Ensure the closet is fully dried out after cleaning, as lingering moisture can promote further growth.

However, if you find that the issue persists despite these steps, it may be time to call in professional help. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice specialize in mold remediation and can provide a thorough inspection, treatment, and advice on how to prevent future occurrences.

Remember, dealing with mold isn’t just about cleaning; it’s also about ensuring that the environment remains safe and healthy for your family. So, don't hesitate to reach out if you need assistance.
