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 odor in rarely used kitchen cabinets?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent rainstorm, I noticed a moldy smell coming from the kitchen cabinet near the sink. It’s particularly noticeable in the evenings when we’re preparing food before breaking our fast during Ramadan. The cabinet is always full of cleaning supplies and rarely used items like last year’s baking trays. How can I prevent this smell and ensure it doesn’t happen again this season?

Cleaning Ramadan can indeed be a challenging task, especially when it comes to managing mold odors in rarely used kitchen cabinets. In the UAE, including Dubai, maintaining indoor environmental quality is crucial due to our humid climate and frequent weather changes. The recent rainstorms certainly increased the risk of moisture accumulation in your cabinets.

Firstly, let’s address how to tackle this issue now. Mold thrives in damp environments, so identifying and eliminating sources of moisture is key. Inspect the cabinet for any signs of water leaks or condensation. If you find a leak, fix it immediately as this will help prevent future mold growth. Ensure that the sink area remains dry; consider using a dehumidifier if necessary to keep humidity levels in check.

To clean and remove existing mold, you can start with some basic steps. Mix one cup of bleach per gallon of water to create a mold-killing solution. Wipe down the cabinet surfaces thoroughly, paying special attention to areas where moisture tends to accumulate like behind items or at corners. Make sure to allow sufficient time for the area to dry completely before storing any items back inside.

However, given that this is an ongoing issue and considering Dubai's unique climate, it might be wise to seek professional assistance. A professional inspection can help pinpoint underlying issues such as insufficient ventilation or improperly sealed areas which could contribute to mold growth. In Dubai, you can call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for an evaluation and remediation plan.

Preventive measures are also important to avoid recurrence:
1. Regularly inspect your cabinets for signs of moisture.
2. Keep the area well-ventilated by opening windows if possible, especially after use.
3. Consider using moisture-resistant materials when renovating or replacing cabinetry.
4. Store items like baking trays in a more accessible and regularly used cabinet to reduce humidity levels.

By taking these steps, you can ensure that your kitchen remains fresh and clean throughout the Ramadan season and beyond. Remember, maintaining indoor air quality is not only about aesthetics but also about health, so stay proactive!
