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 mold from basement causing my kids' congestion?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a musty smell in the basement, and now I’ve spotted some greenish patches on the wall. My kids have been complaining of chest congestion and I’m worried it might be because of mold. Could you help me figure out how to address this?

Yes, the greenish patches you're seeing and the musty smell from your basement could indeed be due to mold. Mold growth is common after heavy rains like what we experienced last month, especially in humid environments such as Dubai. The symptoms your kids are experiencing, including chest congestion, can sometimes be linked to mold exposure.

Firstly, it's crucial to recognize that mold can pose health risks, particularly for children and individuals with respiratory issues. They might develop allergic reactions or exacerbate existing conditions like asthma. In the UAE, especially in areas prone to moisture like Dubai, mold inspections are advised by local environmental regulations to ensure public health is not compromised.

To properly address this issue, it's recommended that you call a professional inspection service for an assessment. A company like Saniservice can conduct thorough tests and provide you with accurate information on the extent of the problem. They will also be able to advise on necessary remediation steps.

Here are some practical tips until a professional inspection:
1. Reduce Humidity: Use dehumidifiers or air conditioners in your basement to keep humidity levels low, ideally below 50%.
2. Ventilate: Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows when the weather allows and using exhaust fans if necessary.
3. Clean Surfaces: Wipe down any moldy areas with a solution of water and detergent. For tough stains, you might need a mixture of bleach and water (1 part bleach to 9 parts water).
4. Dry Promptly: If there’s moisture from leaks or spills, act quickly to dry the area completely.

Remember, addressing mold issues swiftly is key to protecting your family's health and ensuring your home remains safe. Don't hesitate to seek professional help. You can reach Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email them at hello@saniservice.com for more detailed assistance.

Taking these steps will not only improve the air quality in your basement but also prevent further mold growth, safeguarding your family's well-being.
