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 mold related?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a damp spot under the kitchen sink that's been growing bigger despite my efforts to clean it up. The area smells musty and feels slightly warm to the touch. My kids have been coughing more than usual since this started. Could there be mold or mildew issues here, and who is responsible for addressing this in a rental property?

It sounds like you're dealing with a potentially serious issue. The damp spot under your kitchen sink that's growing and smelling musty could very well be related to mold or mildew growth. In the UAE, particularly Dubai, humidity can often create conditions conducive to such problems.

Mold thrives in damp, warm environments, which seems like what you're experiencing given how the spot is expanding and feels slightly warm. Mold can produce allergens that might trigger coughing and other respiratory issues, especially for children who are more sensitive to these irritants.

In Dubai or any part of the UAE, it’s important to address such concerns promptly. The UAE does not have specific laws mandating landlords to handle mold issues in rental properties, but tenants should certainly inform their landlord about health hazards they notice.

I would recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection and remediation service. They can assess the extent of the problem accurately and provide safe solutions that might include removal of contaminated materials, cleaning with appropriate agents, and installing dehumidifiers to prevent future growth.

Remember to wear gloves and a mask when dealing directly with mold to protect yourself from potential health risks. Keeping areas well-ventilated and addressing any leaks or dampness promptly can help avoid similar issues in the future.

Taking these steps will not only improve your home's indoor air quality but also ensure a healthier living environment for you and your family.
