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 under my kitchen sink?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell coming from under my kitchen sink. When I went down there earlier today to check, I found some mold growing on the pipes and floor tiles. Given how damp it's been outside, could this be a sign of a serious infection that needs immediate attention? What should I do first?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about the mold under your kitchen sink. Mold can indeed pose serious health risks, particularly if left unattended. In the UAE, especially during periods of high humidity or after heavy rains like what we've been experiencing, damp areas such as under sinks are prime spots for mold growth.

First things first, don't ignore this! Mold can produce allergens and in some cases, toxic substances known as mycotoxins. These can trigger asthma attacks, cause respiratory issues, and pose a risk to your health, particularly if you or someone in the household has allergies or compromised immune systems. The musty smell is just one symptom - visible mold growth means that there's an issue that needs addressing.

What should you do? Start by wearing protective gear such as gloves, mask, and goggles before you get started. Clean the area with a solution of water and a few drops of bleach (1 cup of bleach per gallon of water) to help kill off the existing mold. Be thorough in your cleaning process; scrubbing can be enough but don't forget to dry everything completely after.

However, if you're not sure about how extensive the growth is or if the problem seems severe, it’s best to call in a professional. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer specialized services for mold remediation and indoor air quality assessments. Their number is 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, prevention is key! Ensure that your kitchen has proper ventilation, especially if you have appliances like a range hood or exhaust fan. Regularly check all areas prone to dampness for signs of mold and address any water leaks or condensation issues promptly.

In the UAE, building regulations do emphasize the importance of maintaining good indoor air quality, so it's always wise to keep your home in tip-top shape. Stay vigilant and proactive; after all, a little bit of prevention can go a long way in protecting your health and property.
