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 test basement air quality first?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains we had last month, I noticed a strange damp smell lingering in the basement of our villa. It’s concerning because my daughter has been having persistent coughing fits lately, and I’m worried it might be related to the indoor air quality down there. Given that we’re about to renovate part of the basement into a home gym, should I hire professionals to test the air quality first?

Absolutely, it's wise to test the basement air quality first. The damp smell and your daughter’s persistent coughing could be linked to mold growth which is common after heavy rains in our region. Mold can produce allergens that may trigger respiratory issues, especially in children.

In Dubai/UAE, building regulations and standards such as EN 13788:2010 (Eurofins) and ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) guidelines are crucial to ensure healthy indoor air quality. Given the recent rainfalls and your daughter’s symptoms, it's important to address this issue promptly.

I'd recommend hiring a professional for an inspection. They can use tools like moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, and air quality monitors to check for dampness, mold spores, and other contaminants that might affect indoor air quality. The earlier you catch any issues, the easier it is to remediate them before they become serious.

Don't wait until you start renovating; take action now. Our team at Saniservice can help with comprehensive testing, ensuring your new home gym space will be a safe environment for all family members.

For immediate assistance or more information, feel free to call 800-MOLDS (66537) or email us at hello@saniservice.com. We're here to support you in maintaining the best possible indoor air quality for your home and loved ones.

Take care of this now so you can move forward with confidence into your renovation project.
