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 my basement?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from the basement storage area where we keep all the boxes of old stuff. The AC in my apartment seems to be exacerbating it, as it’s been running more than usual lately. My kids have been coughing and sneezing non-stop, and one even has a mild fever. Should I be concerned about mold or dust mites, and what cleaning checklist should I follow to address this?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about mold. Mold growth can indeed thrive after rainy weather and can cause serious health issues, especially for your kids who are showing signs of respiratory distress like coughing and sneezing along with a mild fever.

In the UAE, including Dubai, the conditions post-rain can create an ideal environment for mold to grow. The temperature and humidity levels here might not be as favorable for rapid growth but they're still conducive, particularly in areas like your basement which may retain moisture longer due to poor ventilation or seepage issues.

Firstly, you should inspect the area thoroughly. Look out for any visible signs of water damage, dampness, or mold. If there's a musty smell that's lingering, it could indicate hidden mold growth behind walls or under carpets. The AC running more than usual might be exacerbating the situation by recirculating moisture-laden air.

Given your family’s symptoms and the circumstances, it would definitely be wise to call in an expert for a professional inspection. In Dubai, you can contact companies like Saniservice, using their number 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com. They specialize in mold remediation and will provide a thorough assessment.

In the meantime, here’s what you can do to address the situation:

1. Ventilate: Open windows if possible, to allow fresh air into the space. This might help reduce moisture levels.
2. Dry Out the Space: Use dehumidifiers or fans to dry out any wet areas. Ensure good airflow around and within storage boxes.
3. Clean Up: Remove any obvious water stains or moldy items. Wear gloves and a mask when handling potentially contaminated materials.
4. Improve Ventilation: Check your basement for proper ventilation systems. In Dubai, this might mean ensuring the area has adequate exhaust fans to prevent moisture buildup.

Remember that while these steps can help manage the situation, they may not fully resolve it on their own. Professional intervention is crucial to ensure thorough cleaning and prevention of future issues.

Stay vigilant and take necessary precautions to protect your family's health.
