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 dampness and mold in basement harming my kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the basement of my rental apartment. The walls feel slightly wet to the touch, especially after heavy showers, and there’s a slight moldy smell that lingers even with frequent ventilation. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits lately, which has me worried about indoor air quality. Could this be causing their symptoms, or is it just a coincidence?

Dampness and mold in the basement can indeed pose serious health risks, especially for children. Mold growth thrives in damp environments like basements, particularly after rain events. The persistent dampness and moldy smell you're experiencing can be linked to respiratory issues your kids are facing.

In the UAE, including Dubai, indoor air quality standards must adhere to regulations such as those outlined by the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE). Ensuring that your rental apartment meets these standards is crucial for maintaining a healthy living environment. Persistent dampness not only creates an unsightly condition but can also lead to mold growth which produces spores that can irritate the respiratory system, potentially causing coughing fits.

Given the symptoms your kids are experiencing, it's advisable to seek professional inspection and remediation services. At Saniservice, we specialize in addressing such issues and can help you with a thorough assessment of the dampness and mold situation. Our experts will use advanced tools to identify any hidden moisture sources, assess the extent of mold growth, and provide a plan for remediation.

To act now, please consider contacting us at 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com. We understand how worrying this can be for you as a parent, and our team is here to help ensure your family's health and comfort. Delaying action might lead to worsening conditions, so let's get started on improving the indoor air quality of your home.

Remember, addressing these issues early prevents potential long-term health effects and saves you from future inconveniences. Your kids' well-being should always be a top priority!
