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.

Is damp spot under kitchen sink a mold issue?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent damp spot forming under the kitchen sink. The tiles are starting to show signs of water damage, and there's an odd moldy smell that only seems worse after it rains. Have anyone else experienced something similar in their homes and what did you do about it?

Damp spots under kitchen sinks can indeed be a serious issue and often indicate the presence of mold. In the UAE, specifically Dubai, persistent dampness can lead to structural damage and health risks due to the warm climate conducive to microbial growth. It's crucial to address this promptly.

Firstly, don't ignore that smell; it could be indicative of active mold growth. Mold not only causes unsightly discoloration but also produces spores that can trigger allergies, respiratory issues, and other health problems in you or your family members. If the damp spot has been there for a while, especially after rain, it's likely that mold is present.

In Dubai, we adhere to local building codes which require proper ventilation and drainage systems to prevent such issues. However, sometimes these can fail due to clogs, leaks, or improper installation. Given your situation, I'd strongly recommend you call in professionals for an inspection. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive mold inspections where our certified inspectors will assess the extent of damage and provide a detailed report.

If you decide to tackle it yourself first, make sure to wear protective gear like gloves, mask, and goggles before starting any cleaning work. Clean the area thoroughly with a solution of water and bleach (1 part bleach to 10 parts water), then dry completely. Be thorough in drying out the area as moisture can lead to re-growth.

Remember, mold remediation isn't just about removing visible growth; it requires addressing the source of moisture. Check for leaks in pipes or fittings, ensure proper ventilation, and consider installing a dehumidifier if necessary. Regular maintenance is key to preventing future issues.

Lastly, don’t hesitate to reach out for professional assistance. Our team at Saniservice can help you get your home back to its best condition. You can contact us via 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. Don't let mold spread; act now!
