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.

Could mold from the basement be causing my kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a strange damp smell lingering in our basement area, especially after they stopped. My kids started coughing more frequently, and when we checked, it seemed like there might be some mildew forming on the walls near the leaking pipe. Could this be causing their coughs, or is it just my imagination?

Absolutely, the damp smell and presence of mildew could very well be contributing to your children's coughs. In dubai, we often see increased humidity during the rainy season which can create ideal conditions for mold growth. Mold spores are airborne and when inhaled, they can irritate respiratory systems, especially in young children with their more sensitive immune response.

In the UAE, especially Dubai, it’s important to note that buildings are constructed according to specific regulations regarding moisture control and indoor air quality (IAQ). The Abu Dhabi Municipality and the Department of Economic Development have stringent guidelines for ensuring a healthy living environment. However, if you're experiencing issues like dampness or mold in your basement, it could indicate an underlying problem such as poor drainage or faulty plumbing.

The fact that mildew is forming on walls near a leaking pipe suggests there's excess moisture which needs addressing quickly to prevent further health risks and property damage. Mold not only can trigger respiratory symptoms but also allergic reactions and in some cases, more severe conditions like asthma exacerbation.

Given the specific circumstances you're describing, it’s highly advisable that you seek professional assistance. A qualified environmental inspector can assess your situation, identify any mold growth or moisture issues, and recommend appropriate remediation steps to ensure a safe environment for your family. In dubai, companies such as Saniservice offer reliable services with experts who adhere strictly to local regulations.

Don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection and remediation plan. This step is crucial in maintaining the indoor air quality of your home, especially now that you've noticed health issues among family members.

Remember, addressing mold growth early can prevent it from spreading further and causing more extensive damage to your property or worse, affecting your family's health.
