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 in basement causing poor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the basement that doesn’t seem to go away no matter how many dehumidifiers we use. The smell is subtle but definitely there, and my kids have been complaining of coughing fits especially after playing down there. Could this be related to poor indoor air quality? What should I do to address it?

The dampness you're experiencing in your basement could indeed be contributing to poor indoor air quality. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we often experience periods of high humidity and rainfall that can create a conducive environment for mold growth. This moisture can lead to the development of mold colonies which can release spores into the air, leading to various health issues such as coughing fits and other respiratory problems.

Given your description, it sounds like you might be dealing with more than just a temporary dampness issue; this could indicate an underlying problem that needs professional attention. The UAE does not have specific regulations for indoor air quality in residential buildings, but following best practices can certainly help ensure a healthier environment for your family.

Firstly, I would recommend assessing the source of the moisture and addressing it directly. This might involve checking for leaks or condensation issues within pipes, roofs, or walls. Also, ensure that there is adequate ventilation; basements in particular should have proper exhaust systems to remove excess humidity.

Considering the severity of your situation with persistent dampness despite using dehumidifiers, I strongly advise scheduling a professional inspection. This can be done by calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a comprehensive evaluation and remediation plan tailored to your specific case. They can help identify any hidden issues and provide solutions to keep the air in your home fresh and healthy.

In the meantime, you might want to improve air circulation using fans, especially after activities that could introduce moisture such as showering or washing clothes in the basement. Additionally, consider using an air purifier with a HEPA filter which can help capture airborne particles including mold spores.

Remember, addressing these issues promptly is crucial for maintaining good indoor air quality and preventing potential health risks to you and your family, especially your children who seem more affected by the situation.
