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 kitchen?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell coming from the kitchen. The area under the sink has always had some moisture, but it's gotten much worse recently, especially when we open windows to let in fresh air. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately, and I suspect it might be due to the mold growing there. How urgent is this issue, and what steps should I take right away?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about the mold situation. In the UAE, particularly in regions like Dubai, humidity levels can fluctuate significantly, especially after rainy seasons. Mold growth in your kitchen can pose several health risks, including respiratory issues and allergic reactions. The dampness under the sink sounds like a breeding ground for mold and mildew.

Firstly, it's crucial to act quickly. Mold can spread rapidly, producing spores that can circulate through the air and affect everyone's health, particularly children who might be more sensitive. In your case, the increase in coughing among your kids could very well be linked to this issue.

Given the severity of mold growth concerns, it would be wise to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional assessment. They can provide you with immediate guidance on how to handle the situation and recommend necessary steps such as proper cleaning techniques and remediation methods.

While waiting for professional assistance, here are some initial steps you can take:

1. Ventilate: Open windows and use exhaust fans to reduce moisture levels.
2. Dry Out: Use a dehumidifier if available or run your air conditioner on high fan speed with the AC off, as this will help remove excess moisture from the air.
3. Clean: Scrub any visible mold using a solution of one cup bleach in one gallon of water (make sure to wear gloves and goggles) but be aware that this may not always be enough to completely eliminate the problem.

Remember, dealing with mold isn’t just about cleaning it up; you need to address the underlying moisture issue as well. In Dubai, where construction methods might differ from other regions, addressing how water is entering your home or kitchen could prevent future issues.

Lastly, keep an eye on the humidity levels in your kitchen and make sure there are no leaks that might be contributing to this problem. Regular maintenance of plumbing and ensuring proper sealing around pipes can go a long way towards preventing such occurrences.

Stay proactive about your indoor air quality, as it directly impacts the health of you and your family.
