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 this basement mold affect my kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from the basement, especially when I open the door. Upon closer inspection, I saw what looked like black spots on some of the walls and even on parts of the ceiling. It’s worrying because my kids have been complaining about coughing fits lately. Could this be mold, and what should I do to address it?

Yeah, it's quite possible that the mold in your basement could affect your kids. Mold can release spores into the air which may cause respiratory issues like coughing and wheezing, especially for children whose immune systems are still developing. In Dubai/UAE, we're seeing a lot of cases where heavy rains followed by high humidity levels lead to such problems.

Firstly, don't panic but take this situation seriously. The UAE has specific regulations regarding mold remediation and indoor air quality which you should be aware of. For a case like yours, it's best not to attempt DIY cleaning; instead, call in the professionals at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an inspection.

The experts will come to your home, assess the situation, and determine if mold is indeed present. They'll also identify its extent and source, which could be due to water damage from last month's heavy rains. If it’s confirmed that you’ve got mold, they’ll suggest a remediation plan tailored for Dubai’s climate conditions.

In the meantime, try to limit your kids' exposure by keeping doors closed between rooms and using air purifiers with HEPA filters if possible. Also, avoid using fans as they can spread spores around the house.

It's also a good idea to look into improving your home's ventilation system and addressing any water issues in your basement to prevent mold from coming back. Remember, early detection and proper remediation are key to protecting both health and property value in our region.
