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.

How urgent is addressing basement dampness?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains we had last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell in the basement of my villa. The humidity is so high that I can see condensation on the walls, even though the AC was running full blast. My kids have been complaining of coughing and runny noses ever since. How urgent is it to address this issue before it affects their health further?

Addressing the basement dampness is of high urgency. The persistent damp smell and visible condensation can be indicative of moisture issues that may lead to more serious problems over time. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, humidity levels are already high due to our climate but the heavy rains last month have added to these conditions.

In your case, the symptoms reported by your kids—coughing and runny noses—are common signs associated with poor indoor air quality (IAQ) linked to dampness. These issues can lead to respiratory problems and other health concerns for family members, especially children who are more susceptible due to their developing immune systems.

UAE regulations such as the Building Code of the UAE (UAE-BC) require that buildings be designed and constructed to prevent moisture-related damage. While your AC may be running full blast, it’s not equipped to handle all the moisture coming from outside or improperly sealed areas of the villa. This is where a professional inspection comes into play.

I recommend reaching out to professionals at Saniservice for an assessment. Their team can conduct thorough investigations and identify sources of moisture. They will also provide solutions tailored to your specific villa, ensuring that any structural issues are addressed to prevent further damage or health risks.

Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com for a no-obligation consultation and get peace of mind knowing that your family’s health is protected. Delaying action could lead to more extensive issues, so don't wait too long.

Remember, addressing moisture issues early can save you time, money, and potential health problems.
