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.

Should I worry about musty smell in bedroom?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense sandstorm we had last week, I noticed a musty smell lingering in my bedroom. The windows and doors were tightly closed, but the smell persisted, especially during the night. Given how close it is to winter and the potential for mold growth, how urgent should I consider this issue to be?

Absolutely, the musty smell in your bedroom is definitely something to worry about. Especially with the recent sandstorm and the approaching winter season where humidity can increase, this could be a sign of mold growth or other indoor air quality issues. In Dubai and the UAE, it's not uncommon for such problems to arise after severe weather conditions.

According to local regulations, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, particularly in residential areas like your bedroom. The UAE Environmental Health Regulation (EHR) requires properties to be free from pests, mold, and other contaminants that can affect health. Given the persistent nature of this smell, it might suggest there's an underlying issue that needs addressing.

Firstly, check if there are any visible signs of moisture or water damage around windows, doors, or on walls. Leaks or condensation could indicate where mold is forming. Also, inspect your HVAC system and ductwork for any gaps or leaks which can harbor dust, debris, and potentially mold spores as well.

Given the urgency of this situation, I'd recommend contacting a professional environmental inspection service like ours at 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. Our team will conduct a thorough assessment to identify the source of the smell and any potential mold growth, providing you with a detailed report and remediation plan.

In the meantime, keep your bedroom well ventilated by opening windows slightly when possible, even if it's just for short periods. Use an air purifier equipped with a HEPA filter to help reduce airborne particles that might be causing the smell.

Remember, addressing this issue promptly is key not only for your immediate health but also to prevent potential structural damage from mold growth. Let’s tackle this problem head-on and ensure your home remains healthy and safe!
