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 worry about mold in basement?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a musty smell in the basement where we store all the winter clothes. It’s especially noticeable when I open the door after it’s been closed for days. My kids have been complaining of coughing and sneezing, which I think might be related to this mold. Could there be any health risks from living with this mold, and what should I do about it?

Absolutely, the musty smell and your kids' symptoms suggest mold might be present. Mold can indeed pose serious health risks especially to children who are more susceptible due to their developing immune systems.

In Dubai, mold is quite common after heavy rains or flooding incidents like you experienced last month. The UAE has specific guidelines regarding indoor air quality but it's always best to consult a professional if you're unsure about the situation in your basement. Our company, Saniservice, can conduct a thorough inspection and provide expert advice on remediation.

Mold exposure can lead to respiratory issues, allergies, and other health problems. It’s not just about the smell; what you are experiencing could be a warning sign. The spores from mold can travel through air and settle in your lungs causing irritation or even infections. Your children's coughing and sneezing might indeed be linked to this.

First things first, avoid exposure to the mold as much as possible. Keep the area well-ventilated and try not to touch or disturb any visible areas of mold without proper protection. Wearing gloves and a mask could help minimize your risk. However, cleaning up large amounts of mold yourself can be risky; professional remediation is often necessary.

Saniservice operates in line with UAE laws which include the Health Regulations 2017 that mandate safe practices for mold remediation. We use environmentally friendly methods to ensure no further harm to you or your home. Our team will assess the extent of the mold, clean it safely, and provide guidance on preventing future occurrences.

Given what's happening in your basement, I strongly suggest contacting us at 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. Early action can prevent potential health issues down the line.

Remember, dealing with mold isn’t just about cleaning; it’s about ensuring your family's safety and maintaining a healthy home environment.
