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.

Should I hire professionals to check basement dampness?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the basement of our villa. The carpet feels unusually wet to the touch, and there’s a musty smell that lingers even after airing out the space. Given that we’ve only lived here for two years and this is the first time it’s happened, I’m worried about potential mold or other contaminants. Should I hire professionals to test for these issues, or could it be something simpler?

Absolutely, given the conditions you're describing, it's wise to engage professionals for a thorough check. The dampness and musty smell suggest potential mold growth, which can be harmful if left unattended. In dubai, we've seen several cases where such issues have led to health problems including respiratory issues and allergies.

The UAE has strict regulations regarding indoor environmental quality, especially in residential areas like villa basements. As per the UAE building codes and standards, it's essential to ensure that moisture levels are controlled to prevent mold growth and other contaminants. The Abu Dhabi Municipality and Dubai Municipality both enforce these guidelines to maintain a safe living environment.

Given the recent heavy rains and your observations of unusual dampness and musty smells, it would be prudent to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an inspection. They can assess the situation accurately and advise on necessary remediation steps.

In the meantime, here are a few tips you could implement:

1. Ventilate the area: Open windows if possible to allow fresh air in.
2. Use dehumidifiers: To reduce moisture levels.
3. Clean surfaces: Wipe down walls and remove any standing water.
4. Inspect for leaks: Check pipes and plumbing systems for any signs of damage.

Remember, though, that while these steps can help mitigate the situation temporarily, a professional inspection will provide you with a detailed understanding of what's happening in your basement and how to address it properly.

Taking action now could save both money and health issues down the line. Don’t hesitate to reach out for expert advice if you notice any worsening conditions or persistent odors.
