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 address kitchen water pooling myself?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a lot of water pooling under the kitchen tiles near where my children play. The landlord hasn’t addressed it yet, but I’m not sure if this is something I should handle since we’re in high-occupancy and need to keep things hygienic for everyone. Should I address this myself or wait for the landlord to do something about it?

Absolutely, addressing the water pooling issue is crucial for maintaining a clean and healthy environment, especially considering high occupancy. In Dubai/UAE, it’s important to ensure that water management systems are up to scratch, as per the UAE Building Code (UAE-BC) which mandates proper drainage solutions to prevent such incidents.

Firstly, you should take immediate action to mitigate the pooling by removing any standing water and ensuring good air circulation in the area. Use a mop or cloth to clean the affected tiles, then dry them thoroughly. Open windows if possible to allow natural ventilation which can help reduce moisture levels. However, it’s essential to check whether the water is coming from a leaking pipe or fixture, as this might indicate a more serious issue.

Given the high-occupancy nature of your space, especially with children around, it's critical to prevent mold growth which can be detrimental to health. In Dubai, regulations such as the UAE Building Code and Environmental Health Standards require landlords to maintain premises in good condition to protect tenants from hazards like water damage and mold.

I would recommend having a professional inspection done to identify the root cause of the pooling. Saniservice offers comprehensive environmental inspections and remediation services which are well-regarded in Dubai. Their expertise can help you understand if there’s an underlying plumbing issue or any other factors contributing to the problem, ensuring that it is resolved properly.

If you're unsure or feel overwhelmed by handling this on your own, don't hesitate to reach out for professional advice. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation. Remember, keeping your environment hygienic and safe is paramount, especially with children involved.
