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 worry about mold in my cupboard?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent renovation of our kitchen, I’ve noticed a persistent musty smell coming from the cupboard under the sink. We haven’t used it much since we moved into our apartment in Dubai two years ago, but now that we’re storing winter clothes there, the smell is even more noticeable. My children have been complaining of coughing fits after playing in their room nearby, and I’m worried it might be from mold or mildew. Could cleaning that cupboard help resolve this issue, or should I be concerned about something else?

Absolutely, your concerns about mold in the cupboard under the sink warrant attention. Mold can grow in damp, humid areas like that and produce allergens which might lead to coughing fits, especially for children. In dubai, it's pretty common to encounter such issues due to our climate.

Firstly, you should assess the situation yourself but keep in mind that professional inspection is always advisable if you're unsure or if the issue persists after trying some basic solutions. Here at Saniservice, we recommend calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for an expert assessment.

To start addressing this concern, thoroughly cleaning and drying the area can make a big difference. Begin by removing any items from the cupboard that may be damp or moldy. Then, use a mixture of water and baking soda to clean the surfaces, focusing on areas where you notice discoloration or moisture. After cleaning, ensure the area is well-ventilated and dried completely before storing anything back inside.

If there's standing water in the sink or any other plumbing issues, make sure these are fixed promptly as mold loves damp environments. In dubai, our hot and humid climate can exacerbate such problems if not properly managed.

Regular maintenance of your kitchen and bathroom areas is crucial to prevent mold growth. Consider installing exhaust fans or dehumidifiers to keep moisture levels low. Keeping the area around the sink clean and dry will also help in stopping any potential issues before they start.

If you do find that mold has grown, be sure to handle it carefully. Small patches can often be treated with common household products, but larger areas might require specialized cleaning agents or even professional assistance.

Remember, while DIY solutions are effective for minor cases, if the smell persists or the area of mold is large, seeking help from a professional like Saniservice is your best bet to ensure a thorough and safe resolution. Don't hesitate to give us a call at 800-66537 or reach out via email at hello@saniservice.com for assistance.

By taking these steps, you can work towards eliminating the smell and ensuring that the cupboard under the sink is a healthier space for your family.
