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 under bedroom floorboards?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense heat wave we had last month, I noticed a strange musty odor coming from under my bedroom floorboards. It’s really starting to bother me because I can’t seem to find its source or get rid of it despite trying to clean the area thoroughly. The kids are also complaining about feeling unwell lately and I suspect it might be related to this smell. Has anyone else experienced something similar in Dubai, and what did you do about it?

Absolutely, you should worry about the musty smell under your bedroom floorboards. In Dubai's climate, humidity levels can spike during summer months leading to ideal conditions for mold growth. Mold thrives in damp environments and can produce a range of unpleasant odors that are not only uncomfortable but also potentially harmful.

In the UAE specifically, the summers can be extremely hot with high humidity levels, especially if there is poor ventilation or moisture issues around your home. If you're noticing this smell after an intense heatwave, it's quite possible that excess moisture has accumulated under your floorboards, providing a perfect environment for mold to flourish.

It’s not uncommon in Dubai to experience such odors and health issues during summer months. Other residents have reported similar experiences where they've had to deal with persistent smells emanating from beneath their flooring due to hidden water damage or poor insulation.

The musty smell could also be linked to the kids feeling unwell; it's crucial that you address this as soon as possible, especially if it’s a recurring issue. Mold can release spores into the air which can irritate your respiratory system and exacerbate conditions like asthma or allergies. It might not only affect your family but could also contribute to other health issues.

Given the specific situation in Dubai, I highly recommend you call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. They will be able to identify the source of the problem and provide appropriate remediation steps. Early intervention is key to preventing further damage and ensuring your family’s health.

In the meantime, while waiting for an expert assessment, you can try to improve air circulation in the affected area by opening windows if the weather allows or using a dehumidifier. Keeping the floorboards dry could help mitigate further mold growth until professional treatment takes place.

Remember, addressing such issues promptly is essential, not only for your comfort but also for the well-being of your family.
