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.

Is dampness causing mold in my kitchen?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent heavy rains, I noticed a persistent musty smell coming from the kitchen, especially after we open the windows. The carpets in that area seem particularly damp despite using a dehumidifier. Could this be related to mold growth, and what steps can I take to ensure my restaurant is thoroughly cleaned and prevent this issue from recurring?

Absolutely dampness can lead to mold growth in your kitchen, especially after heavy rains. In the UAE and particularly in Dubai, humidity levels can spike during rainy seasons, making it essential to address any moisture issues promptly. The musty smell you're experiencing is a strong indicator that there might be mold present.

Firstly, ensure proper ventilation is in place. Open windows for cross-ventilation whenever possible, but also install exhaust fans to remove excess moisture from cooking and other activities. In Dubai, it's common practice to use dehumidifiers as you've done, but their effectiveness can vary depending on the ambient humidity levels.

Given your situation, it might be wise to have a professional inspection by calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for an expert evaluation. They'll be able to identify not only visible mold but also hidden growth behind walls or under floors.

To clean and prevent future issues:
1. Thoroughly clean all surfaces, focusing on areas where moisture accumulates. Use a solution of 1 cup bleach in one gallon of water.
2. Replace any carpets that are damp; consider using hard flooring instead as they are easier to maintain in humid conditions.
3. Install mold-resistant materials like paints and sealants around sinks and other wet areas.
4. Ensure all appliances are properly installed and sealed to prevent leaks.
5. Regularly check for condensation on windows and walls, addressing it immediately.

Remember, mold can pose health risks, so it's crucial to tackle the issue swiftly. If you notice any signs of structural damage or persistent dampness, don't hesitate to seek professional help. Your restaurant's cleanliness is key to maintaining a safe and pleasant environment for your guests and staff.

Call 800-MOLDS now if you need assistance with an inspection or cleanup.
