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 in basement?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from the basement, especially when the humidity is high. Upon inspection, I found patches of dark mold growing on the walls near the floor. My kids have been complaining about their coughs and sneezes lately, which might be related to this. Has anyone else experienced similar issues or should I call a professional cleaner right away?

Absolutely, you should worry about mold in your basement. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, where we experience varying levels of humidity and occasional heavy rains, moisture can be a significant trigger for mold growth. Mold not only ruins the aesthetics but also poses health risks, particularly to children who are more susceptible to respiratory issues.

In your case, the musty smell and patches of dark mold growing on your basement walls suggest that there might be ongoing moisture problems. This could indicate a leak or high humidity levels in the area, which can lead to serious structural damage over time if not addressed.

The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor air quality and the management of mold. According to the Environmental Health Authority (EHA) guidelines, it's important to address any visible signs of mold promptly to prevent further spread and potential health hazards.

Given your symptoms like coughs and sneezes, which might be linked to this mold exposure, I strongly recommend calling in a professional for an immediate inspection. Here at Saniservice, we have the expertise and tools necessary to thoroughly assess the extent of the mold growth and provide effective remediation solutions.

To get started with addressing your concerns, you can contact us directly through our toll-free number 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. We offer a comprehensive approach that includes identifying the source of moisture, cleaning and removing mold safely, and implementing preventive measures to ensure your home remains healthy.

Don't wait; act now to safeguard your family's health and the integrity of your property.
