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 growth under my kitchen sink?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a moldy smell coming from under my kitchen sink. It’s concerning because there are some old cleaning supplies stored down there that could be affected if left too long. Given our humidity levels here in Dubai, how can I ensure this doesn’t happen again and keep my home smelling fresh?

Certainly! Mold growth under your kitchen sink can be problematic, especially given the humid climate of Dubai. Here are some steps you can take to prevent mold from growing and ensure a fresh smell at home.

Firstly, it is crucial to address any water leaks or issues in your plumbing system promptly. Even small leaks can create damp conditions that foster mold growth. Regularly check your pipes for signs of damage or wear and replace them if necessary. In Dubai, where regulations are stringent regarding building maintenance, ensure you follow the guidelines set by the Building Control Department.

Secondly, keep the area under the kitchen sink dry. Use a sump pump or a simple absorbent material like cat litter to soak up any standing water. Always clean up spills immediately and ensure good air circulation in the area with exhaust fans if possible.

Thirdly, regular cleaning is key. Clean the area around your sink at least once a month using a solution of one cup of bleach per gallon of water or a commercial mold cleaner. Scrub thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before storing any items underneath.

For old cleaning supplies, ensure they are sealed properly in waterproof containers to prevent moisture from entering. Rotate your stock frequently so that older products don't sit for too long.

Lastly, consider professional inspection if you notice persistent mold growth or if you have underlying health concerns related to mold exposure. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can provide thorough inspections and remediation services should you need them. Remember, in the UAE, it's advisable to seek expert advice to ensure compliance with local building codes.

By taking these steps, you can significantly reduce the risk of mold growth under your kitchen sink and maintain a fresh smelling home environment. If you have any concerns or if the issue persists despite your efforts, don't hesitate to contact 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance.
