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 my kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy storms we had last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the basement where our storage area is located. The smell has persisted even though it hasn’t rained in over two weeks. My kids have been complaining of coughing spells every morning which worries me more now. How urgent is this issue and what steps should I take to address it?

Yes, the dampness in your basement could very well be causing your kids' coughs. In Dubai and the UAE, post-storm scenarios like yours are unfortunately common due to the region's climate and geography. The persistent damp smell and moisture can lead to mold growth, which is a major trigger for respiratory issues such as coughing spells, especially in children.

In your situation, it’s crucial to act promptly. Mold spores can spread quickly through air currents, affecting not just the basement but other areas of your home too. According to UAE regulations, ensuring good indoor environmental quality and maintaining a safe living space is paramount for residents’ health.

Firstly, you should dry out the area as soon as possible. Use dehumidifiers or fans to increase airflow and reduce moisture levels. Keeping windows open (if weather permits) can also help in ventilating the area.

Secondly, consider professional inspection. Companies like Saniservice are well-versed with local conditions and can provide thorough assessments of the mold situation, recommend necessary remediation steps, and ensure your home meets regulatory standards. You can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation.

Lastly, keep an eye on your kids' health. If coughing persists despite initial measures, it might be wise to consult with a healthcare provider who can assess their condition and offer medical advice if needed.

Remember, addressing this issue quickly can prevent further health complications and ensure a healthier living environment for you and your family.
