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 up the mold under my kitchen cabinets?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed water seeping into the kitchen floor from underneath the cabinets. It's concerning because it smells musty and looks like mold is starting to form. Should I be responsible for cleaning this up, or should my landlord address it?

Absolutely, it's important to address the mold issue promptly. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, humidity levels can exacerbate moisture-related issues in buildings, leading to such problems as mold growth. Mold not only affects the structural integrity of your property but also poses health risks.

Firstly, you should take immediate action to prevent further damage and ensure a safe environment. Here are some steps you could follow:

1. Stop the Source: Identify where the water is coming from. In this case, it seems like seepage beneath the cabinets. Make sure to turn off any water sources or contact a plumber if there's an issue with your pipes.

2. Ventilation: Enhance ventilation in the kitchen by opening windows (if weather permits) and using exhaust fans during and after cooking. This can help lower humidity levels, making conditions less favorable for mold growth.

3. Cleaning Supplies: For basic cleaning, you might use a solution of water and detergent or a mixture of water and vinegar to clean the area. Ensure that all surfaces are thoroughly dried afterward.

4. Disinfection: After cleaning, it’s wise to disinfect the area with a solution like bleach (1 part bleach to 10 parts water). Make sure to wear protective gear such as gloves and masks during this process.

5. Inspection: Given the severity of the situation, it might be prudent to call in professionals for an inspection. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer mold testing and remediation services that comply with local regulations. They can assess the extent of the damage and provide a thorough cleaning solution.

6. Documentation: Keep records of your efforts and any professional assistance you seek. This could be useful if disputes arise or for insurance claims.

7. Communication: Inform your landlord about the situation. While it’s true that landlords are often responsible for maintenance, especially in rentals, communication is key to ensure they address the issue.

Remember, while DIY solutions can handle minor issues, serious cases such as extensive mold growth should be handled by professionals who are familiar with local regulations and safe practices. If you’re unsure or if the mold has spread significantly, it’s best to contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional assessment.

Remember to act quickly to prevent further damage and ensure your health isn’t compromised.
