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 closet?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from our shared hallway closet, where my children keep their coats and toys. It’s starting to worry me because of how often they use it and I’m concerned about their health. Has anyone else experienced this or have any advice on how to clean and prevent such issues?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about the musty smell coming from your shared hallway closet. In the UAE, especially during our occasional rainy spells, such issues can become quite common due to humidity and poor ventilation. The musty odor is often a sign of mold growth, which can pose health risks particularly for children.

Firstly, it's important to recognize that in Dubai or any part of the UAE, regulations do not specifically mandate regular inspection of shared spaces like hallway closets. However, the welfare of your family should always be your top priority. Mold can lead to respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and other health problems. Given how often children use this space, it's crucial to address the situation.

To begin with, you could try some basic cleaning methods. Start by thoroughly drying out any wet areas in the closet—make sure there are no leaks or water stains that aren’t addressed as moisture is a major contributor to mold growth. Use a mixture of one cup of bleach per gallon of warm water to clean any visible mold. Be sure to wear gloves and a mask during this process.

However, if the smell persists despite your efforts, it might be wise to call in professionals for an inspection. Here at Saniservice, we specialize in such issues and can help identify the root cause of the problem. Our team will also provide recommendations on how to prevent future occurrences.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key, and ensuring proper ventilation could be a preventive measure worth considering. Installing exhaust fans or opening windows when possible might reduce humidity levels and lessen the likelihood of mold growth in the future.

Don't hesitate to reach out if you need any assistance. You can call us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on how we can help. We are here to ensure your family stays healthy and comfortable in their home.
