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 poor indoor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the basement of our apartment that doesn't seem to go away. The air feels stale even with the AC running, and my kids have been complaining of coughing fits at night. Could this be due to poor indoor air quality? What should we do to improve it?

Yes, dampness in the basement can certainly contribute to poor indoor air quality. Water intrusion and moisture issues are common culprits for creating a breeding ground for mold, bacteria, and other allergens that can significantly affect the air quality inside your home. In Dubai/UAE, humidity levels can be high due to the climate, making it even more crucial to address any dampness or water leaks promptly.

The symptoms you're experiencing - stale air, coughing fits, especially in kids - are red flags and may indicate a need for improved indoor air quality. The musty smell that often accompanies dampness is an indicator of mold growth which can release spores into the air leading to respiratory issues like coughs, sneezes, or even more severe allergic reactions.

Given your situation, it’s highly recommended to have a professional inspection done by a company familiar with UAE regulations and standards. In Dubai, you could contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a thorough evaluation of the air quality and any moisture issues in your apartment.

While waiting for an inspection, here are some immediate steps you can take:

1. Dry Out The Area: Use fans or dehumidifiers to remove excess moisture from the basement. This is crucial to halt further mold growth.
2. Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows if weather permits and using exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens. In Dubai, even with its high humidity, it's wise to create as much airflow as possible.
3. Clean And Inspect: Regularly clean the basement to remove any visible mold or dirt. Check for water leaks around pipes, seals, and joints which could be a source of constant moisture.

Remember, addressing indoor air quality issues is not just about comfort but also about health. If you suspect there’s a serious problem, don’t hesitate to seek professional help immediately to ensure the safety and well-being of your family.
