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 do I permanently get rid of mildew smell?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a mildew smell coming from under the kitchen sink. It’s been there for at least a week now, and even with the AC running all day, it doesn’t seem to go away. What should I do to get rid of this smell permanently?

Absolutely, it's crucial to address that mildew smell promptly. Mildew can be more than just an annoying odor; it might indicate moisture issues that could lead to bigger problems like structural damage or mold growth. Here’s what you should do:

Firstly, let's tackle the immediate source of the smell. Check under your kitchen sink for any visible signs of dampness or water leaks. If the area is wet, use a dehumidifier nearby to reduce moisture levels and help prevent mildew from spreading. Ensure that the sink and surrounding areas are thoroughly cleaned with a mixture of bleach and water (1 part bleach to 3 parts water). Scrub all surfaces where mold might be growing.

Next, open up the area around the kitchen sink if possible. Check behind the cabinets for any standing water or moisture accumulation. If you find any, clean these spaces well and ensure good ventilation by opening windows whenever feasible.

In Dubai, it's important to consider the high humidity levels which can contribute to mildew growth. Running an AC might help but isn’t enough on its own. A dehumidifier will be a valuable tool in this situation as it directly reduces moisture content in the air.

If you find that no matter what you do, the smell persists, or if the area appears to have mold growth, it's wise to call in professionals for an inspection. The UAE has strict building codes and regulations regarding indoor environmental quality, so a professional can ensure your home meets these standards while also providing guidance on how to address any issues.

You could contact us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. We specialize in providing mold remediation services for Dubai and the UAE region. Our team will assess the situation thoroughly, clean up any affected areas, and offer recommendations to prevent future occurrences.

Remember, addressing moisture issues is key to preventing mildew from returning. Regular maintenance of your home’s drainage systems and ensuring proper ventilation can go a long way in keeping your indoor environment fresh and mold-free.
