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.

Can I safely clean basement mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rainfall last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in our basement. The mold is starting to spread on the walls near the window, and it’s really worrying me, especially with my young children playing down there frequently. Could someone help me understand how to safely remove this mold without risking their health?

Cleaning basement mold can be a bit tricky and it's important to do it right. First off, don't panic! But it is essential that you take action swiftly as mold growth can pose health risks especially for young children or those with allergies.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, there are no specific regulations regarding mold removal but it's always a good idea to familiarize yourself with local guidelines and best practices. If your mold issue seems serious - like if it covers more than 10 square feet or is spreading quickly – you should definitely call for professional help. Saniservice, the leading company in this area, can be reached at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or by emailing hello@saniservice.com.

For smaller areas of mold, here are some steps to follow:

First, ensure you have proper protective gear. This includes gloves that cover your hands completely, goggles to protect your eyes, and a respirator mask for breathing protection - make sure it has an N95 rating or better.

Next, remove any furniture or items in the affected area so they can be cleaned or discarded if necessary. If you have young children, keep them out of the basement until cleanup is complete to avoid any risk of exposure.

Begin by wetting the moldy areas with water. This helps reduce airborne spores while you clean. Use a solution made from one cup of bleach in a gallon of water (or an EPA-registered mold cleaner if preferred) and apply it to the mold using a scrub brush or sponge. Scrub well, then rinse with water.

Dry thoroughly. Mold loves moisture so make sure everything is completely dry before returning any items to the area. You might need a dehumidifier to ensure everything dries out properly.

Lastly, seal off the area you cleaned by covering it with plastic sheets while everything inside remains dry. This helps prevent mold from coming back and protects your family’s health.

Remember, if the problem is bigger or more complex, don't hesitate to seek professional help. Saniservice has a team of experts who can handle all aspects of mold remediation in accordance with best practices and local standards.

So, there you have it! Follow these steps carefully and stay safe while cleaning that pesky basement mold.
