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 the greenish tint and musty smell in my closet due to mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in my bedroom closet. When I opened it up this morning, there was an odd greenish tint on some of the old clothes at the bottom. It’s been several days now and the smell is stronger than before. Could this be a sign of mold or something else? What should I do next?

Yes, the greenish tint and musty smell in your closet could be due to mold. Mold thrives in damp environments like yours – after the heavy rains, it’s quite common for moisture to linger and create such conditions. In Dubai, we often experience similar issues during periods of humidity or rain.

In the UAE, particularly in a place like Dubai where temperatures can fluctuate widely between day and night, mold growth is more likely if there's any form of water intrusion or high relative humidity levels that aren’t properly managed. Mold can grow on various organic materials such as wood, paper, fabrics, and yes, even old clothes.

Given the scenario you’ve described, it’s crucial to act promptly. First, ensure proper ventilation in your closet by using dehumidifiers or fans if possible. This helps reduce moisture levels, making it harder for mold to spread further. However, the musty smell coupled with visible greenish growth suggests that the mold problem might be more serious than just surface level.

I highly recommend calling a professional environmental inspection and remediation service. In Dubai, you can reach out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com for a thorough assessment. They have experience dealing with such situations in the region and will provide expert advice on cleaning, removal, and prevention methods.

Do not attempt to clean the mold yourself without proper training and protective gear as some molds can be harmful if disturbed improperly. Also, make sure to address any underlying moisture issues that might be causing the problem, like leaking pipes or inadequate sealing around windows/doors.

Stay alert for similar conditions in other parts of your home too; early detection often leads to more effective resolution. Remember, prevention is key so consider upgrading your home’s moisture control systems if needed.

Take care and don’t hesitate to contact professionals if you need help!
