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.

Can I clean up basement mold safely?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell lingering in the basement storage area of our new home. The shelves are filled with boxes of winter clothes and holiday decorations we brought from England, but now they seem to be causing more harm than good, as mold has started to grow on some of the cardboard boxes. What’s the best way to clean this up without damaging the items?

Cleaning up basement mold safely can be quite the challenge, but it's definitely doable. First off, i'd suggest you give a call to 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for professional advice and potential remediation services in Dubai/UAE.

Before jumping into cleaning, assess the situation. In the UAE, it's crucial to be aware of building codes and regulations that may apply. If mold is spreading quickly or if you notice any structural damage, it’s best to call in a professional for an inspection. Mold can grow rapidly, especially with high humidity levels which are common after heavy rains.

To start your cleanup process safely, ensure the area has good ventilation. Open windows if possible and use fans to circulate air. Wear protective gear such as gloves, masks, and goggles to avoid inhaling mold spores or coming into direct contact with them. Mold can release toxic substances when disturbed so precautions are necessary.

Now for the cleaning itself: start by removing all wet items from the storage area. If you have boxes of winter clothes and holiday decorations, carefully take out those that aren’t damaged. For moldy cardboard boxes, use a solution of water and mild detergent to wipe down surfaces. Avoid using bleach as it may cause skin irritation or damage some materials.

For severe cases where mold is growing on hard surfaces like shelves, you can apply a mixture of one cup of household bleach to one gallon of water (though check local regulations for usage in UAE). Scrub the area thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before putting anything back. Make sure to clean surrounding areas as well to prevent mold spores from spreading.

After cleaning, ensure that the space is properly dried out. Using a dehumidifier can help reduce moisture levels which discourage future mold growth. In Dubai/UAE, maintaining low humidity in basements during rainy seasons is key.

Lastly, consider sealing any leaks or other sources of water entry to prevent future mold issues. Regular inspections and maintenance will go a long way towards keeping your basement storage area safe and dry.

Remember, if the situation seems overwhelming or you notice extensive damage, don’t hesitate to reach out for professional help.
