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 damp basement causing mold and health issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the basement where we keep our winter clothes. The smell is musty, almost like mold, and it seems to linger even after airing out the area. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits, especially when they play down there. Could this be related to the moisture buildup? What should I do to check for contaminants and ensure their safety?

Yes, the dampness and musty smell in your basement could be due to mold growth. Mold thrives in moist environments like basements, especially after heavy rains. The health issues experienced by your kids such as coughing fits might indeed be linked to exposure to mold spores.

In Dubai/UAE, it's crucial to take prompt action as the climate can foster rapid growth of molds and other contaminants. The UAE Building Code, particularly Section 320-16-16, outlines standards for moisture control in buildings which your home should meet or exceed. Given that you've noticed these issues after recent rains, it’s advisable to have a professional inspection done.

To ensure the safety of your family and property, call us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for an immediate assessment. We can help identify not only mold but also other potential contaminants like pests, which are common in such conditions.

Here are some steps you can take before the inspection:
1. Reduce moisture by using dehumidifiers and ensuring proper ventilation.
2. Remove any standing water or excess humidity.
3. Check for leaks around pipes, windows, or doors that could be contributing to the dampness.
4. If possible, clean the affected areas with a solution of water and detergent followed by baking soda.

Remember, early intervention can prevent further damage and ensure your family's health is not compromised. Let us help you safeguard against these potential hazards in your home.
