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 green stuff on basement walls harmful?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains we experienced last month, I noticed a weird musty smell in the basement. It's really damp down there, and when I checked, there seemed to be some greenish stuff growing on the concrete walls and floor. Has anyone else dealt with this issue before or do you have any advice on how to address it?

Is green stuff on basement walls harmful? That's a great question. Greenish growths can be quite common in Dubai/UAE homes after heavy rains and they definitely warrant attention.

The greenish stuff you're seeing is likely mold, which thrives in damp environments like your basement. Mold can indeed be harmful to health, especially for those with allergies or respiratory issues. It can release spores into the air that may cause irritation, coughing, sneezing, and even more severe reactions in some individuals.

In Dubai/UAE, we adhere to local building codes which require proper moisture control measures in basements to prevent such issues. However, if you've experienced heavy rains or noticed a significant change in humidity, it's best to have your space inspected by professionals who can confirm the presence of mold and advise on the necessary steps.

For serious cases, I would recommend calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. They'll assess the situation, identify the type of mold, and provide remediation services if needed. Don't attempt to clean up large areas of mold yourself; it can spread easily and may require specific cleaning methods.

To prevent future issues, consider installing dehumidifiers or improving ventilation in your basement. Sealing gaps and ensuring proper drainage around your home are also crucial steps in preventing moisture build-up.

Remember, addressing the issue promptly is key to maintaining a healthy living environment. So don't delay, give us a call if you need help!
