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 strange dampness lingering in my bedroom closet. The clothes hanging inside started smelling musty even though there's no visible water damage or mold. This is worrying because my kids have been complaining of coughing fits lately and it’s only been about 10 days since the rain. How urgent should I be about addressing this indoor air quality issue?

Absolutely, you should definitely be concerned about the musty smell and the coughing your kids have been experiencing. In dubai/uae, indoor air quality is a critical issue due to our climate conditions and high humidity levels, especially after rain events.

Firstly, it's important to understand that dampness in a closet can lead to the growth of mold or other microorganisms which release spores into the air. These spores are known allergens that can irritate respiratory systems, leading to coughs, sneezes, and other allergic reactions—especially among children who may have weaker immune responses.

Given your situation where there's no visible water damage but a musty smell, it is highly recommended you get a professional inspection as soon as possible. In the uae, regulations around indoor air quality are stringent to ensure public health. The local building code requires that all new constructions and renovations meet certain standards for ventilation and moisture control to prevent issues like yours.

For immediate actions:
1. Ensure good ventilation: Open windows when weather permits to allow fresh air circulation.
2. Dehumidify: Use a dehumidifier if you have one, or consider purchasing one as it can significantly reduce the humidity in your home.
3. Check for water leaks: Even small leaks can contribute to dampness and mold growth.

If you notice any further issues like discoloration on walls or ceilings, visible mold growth, or persistent respiratory symptoms among family members, definitely seek professional help immediately. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive mold inspection services that comply with local uae standards and regulations. Our team can help identify the source of moisture and recommend remedial actions to ensure your indoor environment is safe for you and your loved ones.

So, don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an assessment. Early intervention is key to preventing further health issues and ensuring a healthy living environment.

Remember, your health and that of your family's is paramount, so act quickly!
