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

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the basement where we keep all the family toys. The floor feels unusually cold to touch, and there’s a slight moldy smell that lingers even after cleaning. This worries me because my kids play down there often. Could this be a sign of serious maintenance issues that could affect their health?

Absolutely, dampness in your basement can indeed be concerning. Here’s what you need to know.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, buildings often face challenges due to heavy rainfall and high humidity levels, which can lead to moisture-related issues like mold growth. The persistent dampness, cold floor feeling, and moldy smell are clear signs that there may be underlying problems that could impact your kids' health.

First off, it's important to understand the potential risks associated with mold exposure. Mold spores inhaled or ingested by children can cause respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and other health issues. The UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHP) recommends maintaining indoor air quality to prevent such health hazards, especially for families with young kids.

To address this issue effectively, I would recommend a professional inspection from a company like Saniservice. They can identify the source of moisture and provide necessary remediation solutions. For immediate actions until you schedule an inspection, ensure good ventilation in the basement by opening windows if possible or using dehumidifiers. Regularly cleaning the area with a mixture of water and vinegar can help reduce mold growth.

Remember to check for leaks around pipes or roof damage that might be causing excess moisture. In Dubai, it’s not uncommon for heavy rainfall to cause such issues, so thorough checks are essential.

Lastly, if you notice any changes in your kids' health after dealing with the dampness issue, consult a healthcare provider. The UAE has excellent medical facilities where you can seek advice on respiratory and allergic conditions.

For immediate assistance or more information, feel free to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. They are there to help ensure your family's safety and comfort in the home.

Take care of this promptly, it’s important for everyone’s health!
