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 kids health?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain we experienced last month, I noticed a musty smell creeping into our basement. We’ve only lived in this apartment for two years, but now there seems to be visible mold growing along the walls near the floor drain. My children have been complaining of persistent coughs and runny noses, which has me worried they might be breathing in something harmful. Could this be related to the mold, or should I be looking into other causes?

The musty smell and visible mold growth in your basement could indeed be affecting the health of your children. Mold can produce allergens that might trigger allergic reactions like coughing, runny noses, and other respiratory issues which sounds quite similar to what you've described.

In Dubai/UAE, especially after such heavy rains as we experienced recently, it's crucial to keep a close eye on moisture levels in basements and lower areas of your home. Mold spores can easily spread through the air and pose health risks, particularly for children who are more susceptible due to their smaller lung capacity and developing immune systems.

According to local regulations and guidelines, if you notice mold growth or suspect it might be present, it's highly recommended that you seek professional inspection and remediation services. In the UAE, companies like Saniservice are well-versed in dealing with such cases and can provide a thorough assessment and necessary solutions.

For immediate action, I would suggest calling 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection. They'll be able to assess the extent of the mold growth, determine its source, and recommend a course of remediation that complies with local standards.

In addition to professional help, you can take some proactive steps:
1. Ensure proper ventilation in your basement.
2. Use dehumidifiers to keep humidity levels low (aim for below 60%).
3. Clean and dry any water-damaged areas immediately.
4. Seal gaps where moisture might enter the basement.

Remember, addressing mold issues early can prevent further health complications and extensive property damage. Don't delay in taking action to ensure a healthy living environment for your family.
