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 persistent closet smell?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell coming from my bedroom closet. It’s really concerning because it only happens when it rains, but now that it's been dry for a while, the smell is still there. Is this something urgent that needs to be addressed right away or can we wait and see if it goes away on its own?

Absolutely, the smell you're experiencing sounds concerning and it’s wise to take some steps. Firstly, the climate in Dubai can indeed lead to moisture build-up which might be causing this musty odor. Given that it only appeared during rainy periods and still persists, there's a strong chance of underlying issues with your closet or the structure of your home.

In the UAE, especially in areas like Dubai, we often face challenges with humidity, particularly after heavy rainfalls. This can cause mold growth which is not only unpleasant but also potentially harmful to health if left unchecked. Mold spores can trigger allergies and respiratory problems, so it's crucial to address this issue promptly.

Given that you've noticed the smell even when it’s dry outside, I'd recommend having a professional inspection done. Our team at Saniservice has seen similar cases in Dubai where moisture intrusion from rain or even small leaks were not immediately obvious but led to persistent odors and health issues over time.

A professional inspection can help identify if there's any hidden water damage or mold growth behind the walls, under floors, or within your closet. Our technicians use specialized equipment like thermal imaging cameras which can detect moisture even before it becomes visible to the naked eye.

Based on our experience, we've found that addressing such issues quickly is key. Ignoring persistent smells could lead to more severe problems down the line, including structural damage and increased health risks for you and your family.

So, I'd strongly suggest contacting us at 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a free consultation. We can help assess the situation and recommend appropriate remediation actions. Don't let this smell become a bigger issue – act now to ensure your health and home's integrity are protected.

Remember, while waiting for an inspection might seem like a temporary solution, it’s better to be proactive in addressing potential issues that can affect both comfort and health.
