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.

How urgent is mold growth in basement?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell in the basement where we keep our winter clothes. The walls seem damp, and when I checked, there's some mold growing on the corner near the floor. How urgent is this issue, and what should I do first?

The mold growth in your basement should be considered urgent. Mold can pose serious health risks especially for individuals with allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues. In the UAE, including Dubai, mold growth must comply with local building codes and safety regulations to ensure occupant comfort and property integrity.

Firstly, it's crucial you address this promptly. Begin by assessing the extent of the mold growth. If it covers more than 10 square feet or if you notice any signs of water damage like discoloration on walls, you should definitely contact a professional for an inspection. In Dubai, you can reach out to us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for immediate assistance.

If the area is small and you decide to handle it yourself, wear protective gear such as gloves, a mask, and goggles. Start by thoroughly cleaning the affected areas with a mixture of water and bleach at a ratio of 1 part bleach to 10 parts water. This solution can help in killing mold spores effectively. However, be cautious - bleach might not work on all types of molds or surfaces, so ensure you follow safe practices.

Ventilation is key after cleaning. Open windows if possible, use fans to enhance air flow, and allow the area to dry completely. You may also need a dehumidifier to control moisture levels in your basement.

Remember, continuous dampness can lead to further mold growth. Inspect your basement's waterproofing system to prevent future issues. In Dubai, where rainfall is less frequent but heavy when it does occur, regular checks are essential.

If the problem persists or if you're unsure about handling it yourself, seek professional help immediately. Our team at Saniservice can provide comprehensive remediation services that not only eliminate existing mold but also prevent its recurrence, ensuring your home remains safe and healthy for years to come.

Call us now to schedule an inspection and start resolving this issue effectively.
