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.

How can I prevent kitchen cabinet mold growth?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from the kitchen cabinets. Every time I open them, it’s like stepping into a damp basement. The rain seems to have seeped through the walls near the windows, and now there are noticeable patches of mold growing on the backside of the cabinets. How can I prevent this issue from happening again or spreading?

Preventing mold growth in kitchen cabinets can be a bit of a challenge, especially after experiencing rain that seeps through the walls. In Dubai and Abu Dhabi, it's crucial to address these issues promptly as per local building codes and environmental regulations.

Firstly, ensure that you have a professional inspection done. Mold can spread rapidly and may require more than just DIY solutions. If you see patches of mold forming or if there’s a musty smell coming from the cabinets, give us a call at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for an expert assessment.

To prevent further issues, start by addressing any water intrusion. Check around windows and walls where rain might have seeped in. Make sure that the area is properly ventilated and dry. Install a dehumidifier if necessary to keep moisture levels low. Regularly check seals on doors and windows for signs of wear or gaps.

Next, clean your cabinets thoroughly. Mix a solution of 1 part bleach to 20 parts water and use it to wipe down the affected areas. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes before scrubbing and rinsing with water. This process will help kill existing mold spores and prevent new ones from growing.

It's also important to ensure proper airflow in your kitchen. Open windows or install exhaust fans that vent directly outside, avoiding recirculating air back into the living space. This can significantly reduce moisture levels and deter mold growth.

Consider using mold-resistant materials when you replace any cabinets. In Dubai, there are no specific local regulations mandating these materials but they do provide a safer option against future issues. Opt for paint that contains fungicides as it offers an additional layer of protection.

Lastly, maintain good housekeeping practices. Regularly clean and dry your kitchen surfaces to prevent moisture buildup. Use coasters under glasses to avoid condensation on cabinets and walls.

By following these steps, you can significantly reduce the risk of mold growth in your kitchen cabinets. Remember, prevention is key. Early detection and prompt action are crucial for effective mold management in Dubai's climate.
