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 the kitchen closet?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell coming from the kitchen closet where we store our brooms and mops. It’s really concerning because my kids have been coughing more than usual lately, and I’m worried it might be related to mold growing in there. Should I be cleaning this area more frequently or is there something else I should do to prevent this?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about the potential mold growth in your kitchen closet. The persistent musty smell and increased coughing from your kids are strong indicators of a possible mold issue.

Mold thrives in damp, humid environments – exactly what you've got going on with the aftermath of heavy rains. In the UAE, especially during our summer months, humidity levels can rise significantly. Combine that with water damage or high moisture content, and it's a perfect breeding ground for molds like Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Cladosporium.

First steps you should take are to ensure proper ventilation in the kitchen by opening windows when possible and using exhaust fans during cooking. Make sure there’s no standing water or leaks around the closet area; if there is, address it immediately as moisture can lead to mold growth.

Cleaning the affected area with a mixture of 1 cup of bleach per gallon of water might help kill existing mold but be cautious about using this method since bleach fumes can irritate lungs. Always wear protective gear like gloves and masks when cleaning up molds.

Regularly inspecting the closet for any signs of moisture or mold is key, especially post-rain events. However, if the issue persists or worsens, it's highly recommended you call in a professional environmental inspection company to assess the situation. In Dubai, you can contact 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for expert assistance.

Remember, mold remediation isn't just about cleaning; it involves identifying and eliminating sources of moisture and ensuring proper air circulation to prevent future growth. Professional services will ensure that all aspects are addressed comprehensively.

In the meantime, keep an eye on your family's health. If symptoms persist or worsen, see a doctor as they may suggest further investigations or treatments. Early action can prevent mold from becoming a serious issue for you and your family.

Call 800-MOLDS if needed or email hello@saniservice.com for more advice.

Take care of that closet soon!
