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.

Could basement dampness cause my kids' coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain we had last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the basement. The corners near the walls are always wet to touch, even though I clean them regularly. It’s starting to worry me because my kids have been coughing more frequently lately and I’m wondering if it could be from mold or just poor ventilation. Could this moisture issue be causing their cold-like symptoms?

Absolutely, basement dampness could be the culprit behind your kids' coughing. In the UAE, particularly Dubai and its surrounding areas, we experience a high humidity level due to our climate. The persistent wetness you've noticed in your basement can indeed lead to the growth of mold, which often has adverse effects on respiratory health.

Mold spores can float through the air and when inhaled, they can irritate the lungs leading to coughing and other respiratory issues such as congestion or wheezing. This could be especially concerning for children who have weaker immune systems compared to adults. In fact, it’s not uncommon during heavy rain events like the ones we've had lately to see an increase in mold growth due to the excess moisture.

Firstly, I would recommend a thorough inspection of your basement by a professional. Here in Dubai, you can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for expert advice and remediation services. The professionals will be able to assess the level of dampness, check for mold growth, and suggest appropriate measures.

While waiting for an inspection, here are some steps you could take:

• Increase ventilation: Use fans or dehumidifiers to reduce moisture levels.
• Clean and dry: Make sure to clean all areas where water has accumulated and ensure they're completely dried out.
• Check for leaks: Inspect your basement walls and floor for any signs of leaking pipes or seepage, which could be causing the dampness.

It’s also important to maintain good indoor air quality by ensuring that your home is well-sealed against outside moisture. This can involve using weatherstripping around doors and windows as well as installing a proper ventilation system if needed.

Remember, early intervention is key in preventing mold growth and maintaining indoor air quality. If the dampness issue persists or if you notice any visible signs of mold, don't hesitate to seek professional assistance promptly.

Stay proactive about your home's environment – your health depends on it!
