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 dampness harming my kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy downpour we had last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the basement. The area has a noticeable mold growth on some of the walls, and my kids have been coughing more than usual lately. Could this be related to the cleaning infection issue? What steps should I take to address it safely?

Yes, mold from basement dampness can definitely be harming your kids. In the UAE, including Dubai, indoor air quality is crucial, especially for children who are more susceptible to respiratory issues. Persistent dampness and mold growth in a basement can release spores into the air which may cause or exacerbate allergies, asthma, and other respiratory conditions.

First off, it's important you know that according to the UAE building codes and standards, particularly those set by the Dubai Municipality and Abu Dhabi Municipality, indoor environments must be maintained in a condition free from mold growth. This is not only for health reasons but also for structural integrity of buildings.

Given what you've described, I'd advise taking prompt action. Start with a thorough inspection of your basement to assess the extent of the mold problem. Look at areas where moisture tends to accumulate like corners or around pipes. Also check if there are any leaks or water damage that could be contributing to this dampness. You might also want to take air quality tests, which can detect the presence and concentration of mold spores.

It's not uncommon for families in Dubai to experience increased respiratory issues during monsoon seasons or after heavy rainfall due to these conditions. It’s highly recommended you seek professional help by calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com. Professionals will have the right equipment and expertise to assess, clean, and remediate mold effectively.

In the meantime, keep windows closed during wet weather to prevent further water intrusion. Use dehumidifiers if possible to reduce humidity levels in your basement. Also, ensure good ventilation by opening windows when it's not raining or using exhaust fans.

Remember, addressing mold issues early prevents more serious health problems and costly repairs later on. Your kids' well-being is paramount, so taking these steps can help maintain a healthier environment for them.

Call 800-MOLDS if you need immediate assistance or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection.
