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 mold growing in my basement?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain we had last month, I noticed a musty smell in the basement. When I checked, there seemed to be some mold growing on the walls near the floor drain. It’s been creeping up slowly over the past few weeks. What should I do first?

Absolutely, you should definitely take the mold situation seriously. Mold can cause various health issues and property damage so it's crucial to address this issue promptly.

First things first, it is highly recommended that you contact a professional environmental inspection service like Saniservice for an assessment. We specialize in mold inspections, testing, and remediation services tailored specifically to the UAE, including Dubai. Our team will be able to conduct a thorough evaluation of your basement and provide a detailed report on the extent of the mold growth.

The musty smell you're noticing is likely due to the mold releasing spores into the air. Mold can grow in areas where there's moisture or high humidity, like near floor drains, which seems to fit with what you've observed. If left unchecked, it could continue spreading and lead to structural damage over time.

In the meantime, avoid touching or disturbing the mold as this could spread it further throughout your home. Also, don't ignore the possibility of water intrusion; ensure that any leaks are addressed immediately to prevent additional mold growth.

To act on this situation:
1. Contact 800-MOLDS (or call us at 800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection.
2. Do not attempt DIY removal if the area is large, as improper handling can spread spores and increase health risks.

Remember, staying proactive about mold issues in your home is key to maintaining both your property value and your family’s well-being. With our expertise, you’ll be able to resolve this situation effectively.

Important: Please don't ignore these signs; prompt action could save you from bigger problems down the line!
