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.

Can I handle mold myself or should I call professionals?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy storms we had last month, I noticed a strange mold growing behind the kitchen cabinets. It’s not a huge area, maybe about 1 square meter, but it’s spreading and looks quite concerning with its greenish-black spots. I’ve tried scrubbing with vinegar, but nothing seems to work. Can anyone who has dealt with this before suggest if I can handle it myself or should I call in professionals?

Handling mold in your home can be a daunting task especially after the heavy storms we've experienced recently. Mold growth behind kitchen cabinets sounds like it could be a concern. The greenish-black spots you're seeing are common signs of mold, and while vinegar is a good start, sometimes more potent solutions or methods are needed.

Firstly, it's important to assess the situation properly. In Dubai/UAE, mold can grow quickly in damp conditions, especially after heavy rains like those we've had. The UAE Building Code (UAE Standard EN 13785:2004) requires buildings to be designed and constructed with measures that prevent or minimize moisture-related issues.

If the area affected is only about one square meter, you might consider tackling it yourself if you're equipped with the right tools. However, given the persistence of the mold despite your efforts, a professional inspection would be wise. Mold can often indicate deeper moisture problems in walls or behind surfaces that require expert intervention to fully resolve.

To start on your own, ensure good ventilation and clean up any debris from the storm. Use a solution like hydrogen peroxide which is more potent against mold than vinegar. Wear protective clothing including gloves, mask, and goggles when working with moldy areas. Thoroughly scrub the affected area and allow it to dry completely.

However, if you find that the mold keeps coming back or if the area of infestation expands, it's highly recommended you call in professionals for a thorough inspection and remediation. Saniservice (contact 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) is one such company that has experience dealing with mold issues in Dubai.

Remember, safety should be your top priority. Mold can release spores into the air, causing allergic reactions or respiratory issues. If you're unsure about how to proceed, don't hesitate to seek professional advice to ensure a safe and effective resolution for your home.
