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.

Should I concern myself with basement mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the basement of my apartment, especially near the storage room. My kids have been complaining of chesty coughs and it seems like there might be mold growing down there since the humidity has been quite high. Should I be concerned about indoor air quality in this area, or is that something my landlord should handle?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about the potential for mold growth in your basement. Mold can indeed pose serious health risks and is particularly concerning given the conditions described. In the UAE, specifically in Dubai, indoor air quality regulations are crucial to ensure a healthy living environment. The Emirate of Dubai's Building Code 348/2015 addresses moisture control and other factors that could lead to mold growth.

Mold thrives in damp environments and can produce allergens, irritants, and potentially toxins that can affect your family’s health. Symptoms like chesty coughs are common when exposed to mold spores, especially among children. It's important to address this promptly to prevent worsening of conditions for your kids.

Given the current situation with heavy rains and persistent dampness, I would highly recommend a professional inspection by a certified environmental inspector who can assess the extent of any potential mold growth. In Dubai, you could reach out to Saniservice or call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a thorough evaluation.

Saniservice, based in Dubai, specializes in mold remediation and indoor air quality assessments. They can provide detailed reports on the state of your basement’s environmental conditions and recommend appropriate steps to mitigate any identified issues. Remember, addressing mold promptly not only improves your family's health but also prevents further structural damage to your property.

Do get in touch with them soon; early intervention is key!
