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 dampness in basement harming my kids?« Back to Previous Page

Since the rainstorm last month, I’ve noticed a persistent dampness in our basement that feels particularly concerning with children playing down there. The musty smell is strong, especially after it rains, which happens quite frequently during winter here. My kids have been complaining of coughs and sneezes more often than usual, and I’m worried it might be linked to the indoor air quality. Could anyone share tips or advice on improving basement ventilation in a humid climate?

Dampness in your basement can indeed be harmful to your kids and overall indoor air quality. The moisture levels you're experiencing are quite common during the winter months here in Dubai/UAE, but they do require careful attention.

Firstly, persistent dampness creates an ideal environment for mold growth, which is a major concern given that children's immune systems are still developing. Mold spores can trigger allergies and worsen asthma symptoms, leading to more frequent coughs and sneezes like what you've noticed in your kids. It's important to identify the source of the dampness and address it promptly.

To improve basement ventilation, start by checking if there is any water infiltration or leaking from pipes or roofs. Make sure that your basement windows are properly sealed but allow for adequate airflow. If possible, install a mechanical ventilation system with an exhaust fan to remove moist air and promote better circulation. In addition, you might consider installing dehumidifiers in the basement area to reduce humidity levels.

Regularly inspecting the basement for signs of water damage or mold is crucial. Keep an eye out for discoloration on walls, peeling paint, or fuzzy growths that could indicate mold. If you notice any of these issues, it's advisable to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection and remediation.

In terms of practical tips, ensure your basement has adequate drainage around the perimeter. Consider installing a sump pump if necessary to prevent water accumulation. Seal any cracks in walls and floors with waterproof sealants to prevent moisture from seeping through.

Lastly, maintaining good indoor air quality involves regular cleaning and dusting to reduce allergens. Encourage everyone, especially children, to wash their hands frequently and use natural cleaning products when possible.

Improving your basement's ventilation and addressing dampness is not just about making the space more comfortable—it’s essential for protecting your family's health. Don't hesitate to seek professional advice if you're unsure about how to proceed.
