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 causing mold in my basement?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the basement of our new home. The carpet feels surprisingly soggy to the touch, even though we’ve been using dehumidifiers, and there's a subtle musty odor that lingers despite frequent ventilation attempts. Have anyone else experienced similar issues after rainy seasons? Any tips on how to effectively clean and prevent mold in such areas would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, dampness can definitely lead to the growth of mold in your basement. It sounds like you're experiencing this issue which is quite common after heavy rains, especially here in Dubai where we've seen some unusual weather patterns lately.

Firstly, it's important to assess the level of moisture. In Dubai and UAE, according to the local building codes, basements should have proper waterproofing measures, ventilation systems, and drainage solutions to prevent such issues. However, even with these measures, if there has been a sudden influx of water like what you've experienced after last month's rains, dampness can still seep in.

Given your situation, it might be wise to call for a professional inspection from a company that specializes in environmental inspections and remediation. For instance, Saniservice (Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com) can help you identify the extent of the problem and recommend the best course of action.

For immediate steps:
1. Continue using dehumidifiers but ensure they are placed in areas that are prone to dampness.
2. Increase ventilation by opening windows when possible, especially during sunny days which can help reduce humidity.
3. Use a humidistat to monitor and control the indoor humidity levels; aim for 40-60% relative humidity or lower if possible.

To clean up:
1. Remove any visible mold growth using a solution of water and detergent. Be sure to wear protective gear like gloves, goggles, and masks.
2. Clean surfaces thoroughly with a mixture of bleach and water (1 part bleach to 9 parts water) for tougher stains.
3. Allow the area to dry completely before returning furniture or carpeting.

Prevention is key:
• Install a sump pump and waterproofing system if not already present.
• Ensure proper grading around your home’s exterior to direct water away from the foundation.
• Seal cracks in concrete walls or floors with sealants specifically designed for basement use.

Remember, regular maintenance and proactive measures can go a long way in preventing future issues. If you find that mold has spread beyond what you can handle on your own, do not hesitate to seek professional help.
