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' respiratory issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the basement area of our apartment. The air feels stale and heavy, and my kids have been complaining about coughing fits especially after spending time down there. Could this be causing respiratory issues, or is it just coincidence?

Indoor air quality can really affect the health of your household especially during such weather conditions. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we've had some unusually heavy rains recently which has increased the risk of dampness and mold growth in basements. This can indeed be linked to respiratory issues, especially for children who are more susceptible.

Persistent dampness in a basement area like yours could definitely contribute to poor indoor air quality (IAQ). Stale air with high moisture levels creates an environment where mold spores and allergens thrive. These particles floating in the air can irritate your kids' respiratory systems leading to coughing fits, especially when they spend time down there.

According to local regulations such as those outlined by the UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE), it is important that you maintain a healthy IAQ in residential areas. The guidelines emphasize monitoring for moisture levels and addressing any signs of dampness promptly to prevent issues like mold growth, which can significantly impact indoor air quality.

If you suspect your kids' coughing fits are related to the basement's condition, I recommend having a professional inspection done as soon as possible. This will help identify the extent of the problem and provide necessary remediation steps. Saniservice, our company, offers such inspections and can also assist with any needed treatments or improvements.

Remember, it's important to keep an eye on your family’s health especially in areas prone to dampness. If you're unsure about what to do next, give us a call at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information and support.

Stay proactive!
