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.

Should I clean mold under sink myself or hire pros? Cost in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a moldy smell coming from under my kitchen sink. The area is quite damp even when it’s not raining, and there are some visible patches of mold growing. Should I hire professionals to clean this up, or can I do it myself? What would be the typical cost for such services in Dubai?

Cleaning mold under the sink can indeed be a tricky task. In Dubai and the UAE in general, it's important to consider both the health implications of mold exposure and the regulations regarding mold management.

Firstly, if you notice visible patches of mold or a musty smell, it’s crucial to inspect the area properly. Mold can spread quickly under damp conditions, especially after heavy rains like those experienced recently. The UAE doesn't have strict regulations specifically for mold cleanup, but public health guidelines recommend taking prompt action to prevent further growth and potential health issues.

Given that your kitchen sink area is consistently damp, it might be wise to call in professionals such as Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. They have the necessary expertise and equipment for safe mold removal. Professional inspection can also ensure no hidden mold growth exists, which could pose a risk if left unchecked.

The cost of professional mold remediation services in Dubai can vary widely depending on the extent of the problem. Typically, small areas like under a sink might not be as expensive compared to larger spaces, but you should expect costs around AED 500 - AED 2000 or more for comprehensive cleaning and disinfection.

DIY cleanup is possible if you take all necessary precautions, such as wearing protective gear (masks, gloves) and ensuring proper ventilation. However, it's essential to thoroughly clean the area with a mold-killing solution, like bleach diluted in water, followed by thorough drying. If you're not confident or comfortable doing this yourself, hiring professionals is highly recommended.

Remember, tackling mold issues quickly and effectively can prevent health problems and costly damages down the line. So, if you decide to go it alone, make sure to follow safety guidelines strictly. But for peace of mind and professional results, getting in touch with a reputable company like Saniservice would be the best course of action.

Remember, when dealing with mold, taking swift and appropriate measures is key. Don’t hesitate to reach out for help if needed!
