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 worry about basement mold affecting family health?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed water seeping into the basement, and now there's a persistent musty smell. The issue seems to be coming from under the floor near the laundry area. It’s really concerning because my family has been having more coughs lately, and I’m worried it might be related. What steps should I take to address this properly before it becomes a bigger problem?

Absolutely you should worry about basement mold affecting your family's health. Mold growth is a serious concern and can lead to various respiratory issues including coughs, especially among children and elderly members of the family who might be more susceptible.

In Dubai/UAE, particularly after heavy rains like the ones we've had recently, it’s crucial to address any signs of water damage or mold promptly. The UAE Building Code does not specifically cover mold but the standards for moisture control in buildings are critical to prevent such issues. If you suspect there's a musty smell and see water seeping into your basement near the laundry area, it could indicate active mold growth.

Firstly, take immediate steps to dry out the affected areas. Use dehumidifiers if necessary, but ensure they're properly maintained as per local standards. Additionally, open windows and use fans to improve air circulation until you can have a professional inspection done.

It’s highly recommended that you call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an expert assessment. Professionals will be able to identify the extent of mold growth, if any, and provide guidance on remediation strategies that comply with local regulations in the UAE.

In the meantime, avoid touching or disturbing the affected area as this can spread spores. Wear protective gear like gloves and a mask when entering the basement.

Regular maintenance is key to preventing such issues. Ensure your laundry area has proper ventilation and consider checking for any leaks around pipes or windows. Also, seal gaps in flooring that could allow moisture to seep through.

Taking these steps will not only protect your family's health but also prevent costly damage from worsening. Don't delay; act now to ensure a healthy environment for you and your loved ones.
