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 mold around my kitchen sink?« Back to Previous Page

In my kitchen, especially around the sink area, I've started to see small patches of mold forming on the walls and under the sink. We've lived in our apartment in Dubai for about a year, and I think the humidity from cooking and washing dishes is contributing to the problem. I’ve cleaned it with vinegar a couple of times, but it keeps coming back. What can I do to prevent this mold from recurring?

Preventing mold around your kitchen sink is crucial, especially in a humid environment like Dubai. Mold thrives in damp, warm conditions, and kitchens often provide the perfect breeding ground due to cooking and cleaning activities. Here are several practical steps you can take to minimize the risk of mold growth in your kitchen:

1. Control Humidity: High humidity is a major factor in mold growth. Keep humidity levels in your kitchen below 60%. You can use a dehumidifier or an exhaust fan while cooking to reduce moisture in the air. Make sure to ventilate your kitchen properly by opening windows when possible or using an air conditioning unit with a dehumidifying function.

2. Regular Cleaning: Although you’ve been using vinegar, it's important to regularly clean the affected areas with a mixture of water and mild detergent. After cleaning, ensure the surfaces are thoroughly dried since moisture left behind can lead to mold regrowth.

3. Inspect for Leaks: Check under the sink and around the plumbing for any leaks or water buildup. Even small leaks can contribute to mold growth. If you notice any dampness, repair the leaks immediately to prevent further moisture accumulation.

4. Seal Grout and Caulk: Ensure that the grout and caulk around your sink are well-sealed and in good condition. Damaged grout can allow water to seep through and create a conducive environment for mold. Reapply caulk if you see any cracks or gaps.

5. Use Mold-Resistant Products: Consider using mold-resistant paint or coatings on walls and surfaces around your kitchen sink. These products are specifically designed to inhibit mold growth and can be especially beneficial in humid climates.

6. Professional Inspection: If you continue to see mold after taking these preventive measures, it may be wise to seek professional help. A thorough inspection can identify hidden mold or water sources that you might not be aware of. In the UAE, it’s important to follow local regulations regarding mold inspections and remediation, so always choose a licensed professional.

7. Immediate Action: If the mold problem persists, do not hesitate to call in experts. Mold can cause health issues, and it’s best to address it promptly. You can reach out to our company at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for professional inspection and remediation services.

Taking these proactive steps will help you maintain a mold-free kitchen and ensure a healthy living environment. Being vigilant about moisture control and regular maintenance is key in preventing mold from recurring in your home.
