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.

Is mold from basement affecting my kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain we had last month, I noticed a strange damp smell lingering in the basement. The walls seem a bit stained, and when I checked closer, there were some mold patches starting to form. My kids have been complaining of coughing spells too, which is concerning. Could this be linked to the water damage and should I be looking into getting professional help?

Yes, the mold from your basement might be affecting your kids. Mold spores can become airborne and travel through air ducts and even windows to spread throughout your home. In Dubai/UAE, we are subject to certain health regulations concerning indoor environments, especially when it comes to moisture management and mold growth.

The UAE has stringent building codes and environmental standards that require regular maintenance and testing for indoor contaminants. The presence of visible mold like the patches you mentioned in your basement is a clear indicator that conditions may be favorable for mold proliferation. Mold not only causes unpleasant odors but can also release allergens, irritants, and mycotoxins that might trigger respiratory issues, especially in children.

Your kids complaining of coughing spells could well be linked to the water damage and subsequent mold growth. Children's immune systems are more vulnerable, making them susceptible to allergies and infections from mold exposure. This is particularly concerning if their symptoms persist or worsen over time.

Given the potential health risks, I highly recommend you get a professional inspection by contacting Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com. They can provide a comprehensive assessment of your home and offer remediation solutions tailored to Dubai’s climate.

In the meantime, try to reduce moisture levels in your basement by using dehumidifiers and ensuring proper ventilation. Keep an eye on any further development of mold growth or health concerns among family members. Remember, proactive measures are key to maintaining a healthy indoor environment for you and your kids.
