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 persistent dampness affect my kids' health?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell in the basement of my apartment. Even with the dehumidifier running non-stop, the smell hasn't gone away and it’s starting to feel musty down there. It's concerning because my kids have been complaining of coughing and sneezing more than usual lately. How can I effectively prevent this from becoming a recurring issue?

Yes, persistent dampness can definitely affect your kids' health. In the UAE context, especially in areas like Dubai where we often experience extreme temperatures and humidity, it's crucial to address any indoor moisture issues quickly and effectively.

The smell you're noticing is a sign of mold growth which is common when there’s excessive moisture. Mold spores can thrive even with low levels of humidity and can cause respiratory issues, particularly for children who have weaker immune systems or pre-existing conditions like asthma. The coughing and sneezing your kids are experiencing might be linked to the presence of these harmful spores.

Firstly, it's essential to identify the source of moisture in your basement. Is it due to a leaky pipe? Poor ventilation? Or perhaps an issue with external drainage affecting your property? You can start by checking for any visible signs of water damage or leaks and ensuring that your dehumidifier is set at the correct level—ideally between 30-50% relative humidity. However, if you find it difficult to manage on your own or suspect a deeper issue, I highly recommend calling in professionals like us at Saniservice.

We can conduct a thorough inspection and provide solutions tailored for Dubai's climate. Our experts will assess the extent of any moisture damage, recommend treatments to prevent future issues, and ensure that all necessary steps are taken to safeguard both your family’s health and the integrity of your home.

Remember, prevention is key! Regular maintenance checks on plumbing systems and ensuring proper ventilation can go a long way in avoiding such problems. Don't wait until it's too late—act now by giving us a call at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a free consultation. Your family’s health is our top priority, and we're here to help.
