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 handle basement dampness myself?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in our basement, and now there's a slight musty odor that lingers even after cleaning. The humidity seems to be higher down there, and my kids have been complaining of coughing fits lately. Can someone recommend if I can handle this myself or should I seek professional help to address the indoor air quality issues in our basement?

Indoor air quality issues can be complex and may require expertise to address properly. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, where we face various climatic conditions, it's crucial to take dampness seriously as it can lead to a range of health concerns for your family.

Firstly, you should assess if the moisture issue is just cosmetic or indicative of something more serious. Check for visible signs like mold growth, which could be contributing to the musty smell and possibly causing those coughing fits in your kids. The humidity levels in basements can naturally be higher due to their design but a significant increase might signal a need for intervention.

In my experience with environmental inspections and remediation in Dubai, I've seen cases where improper ventilation or poor drainage systems lead to persistent dampness. These issues not only affect air quality but could also damage the structure of your home over time.

Given that you're experiencing symptoms like coughing fits, it would be prudent to call for professional help. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com) can provide thorough inspections and remediation services tailored to the UAE's climate.

Handling such issues yourself might involve steps like using dehumidifiers, cleaning surfaces with anti-microbial solutions, and improving ventilation. However, without a professional assessment, you may not fully understand the extent of the problem or find effective solutions. Professionals are equipped with tools and experience to ensure that all sources of moisture are identified and addressed, thereby safeguarding your family's health.

Remember, in Dubai, maintaining good indoor air quality is essential due to our hot climate and high humidity levels during certain times of the year. Don’t hesitate to seek expert advice for peace of mind and a healthier living environment.
