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.

Is damp basement causing kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the basement area of our new apartment. The walls seem to be slightly moist even though we’ve run the dehumidifier non-stop. My kids have been complaining about coughing fits especially after being down there for more than an hour. Could this be causing their respiratory issues?

It sounds like the dampness in your basement could indeed be affecting your children's respiratory health. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, we often experience humid conditions and it can lead to moisture issues, particularly in basements which tend to be cooler and more prone to condensation.

The symptoms your kids are experiencing - coughing fits after being in that area for an extended period - could be indicative of exposure to mold or other allergens. In the UAE, we have strict regulations regarding indoor air quality, including guidelines from the Ministry of Energy and Industry (MoEI) on moisture control and mold prevention.

Given the situation, it's highly recommended you get a professional inspection done as soon as possible. Contacting Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com could be your best course of action. They can assess the dampness level, identify any potential mold growth and recommend appropriate remediation steps.

In the meantime, continue running your dehumidifier but also consider using a hygrometer to monitor the relative humidity levels in that area. Aim for keeping it below 60% to minimize moisture accumulation and reduce the risk of mold proliferation.

Additionally, ensure proper ventilation by opening windows when weather permits or installing an exhaust fan if necessary. Also, check for any leaks or sources of water intrusion as these can be contributing factors.

Remember, early intervention is key in managing indoor air quality issues in Dubai’s climate. Don’t hesitate to seek professional help and take steps to improve the health of your home environment.

Call 800-MOLDS if you need immediate assistance or more information.
