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 mold growth in basement?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from the basement, especially when the humidity is high. Upon checking, there’s some visible mold growing on the walls near the floor, which looks like it might be spreading. How urgent is this issue, and what steps should I take right away to address it?

The mold growth in your basement is indeed urgent. Considering the recent heavy rains and the musty smell you've detected, it suggests that there's a moisture issue leading to this problem. In Dubai/UAE, as per our local regulations, it’s crucial to address such issues promptly.

Mold can pose serious health risks, particularly for individuals with respiratory problems or allergies. It's advisable to take immediate action and not delay. Start by ensuring proper ventilation in the area; open windows if possible and use dehumidifiers to reduce moisture levels. However, given that you’ve noticed visible mold growth, it’s recommended to call a professional environmental inspection company. In Dubai, you can reach out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com for expert advice and remediation.

In the meantime, while awaiting further assistance, avoid touching or disturbing the mold as this could spread it around your home. Also, wear protective gear such as gloves and a mask when you’re in that area to minimize exposure.

Remember, preventing mold growth is key. Regular maintenance of drainage systems, ensuring proper insulation, and sealing any cracks can help prevent moisture from entering your basement in the future. For ongoing issues or if you're unsure about how to proceed, don’t hesitate to seek professional guidance.

UAE regulations also mandate that property owners ensure a safe living environment for occupants, so addressing this issue is not just about comfort but compliance as well.

Let's get those mold spores under control before they spread further!
