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 landlords clean musty areas under sinks?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a small puddle forming under the sink in my kitchen, which is not cleaned regularly. The area around it also smells musty, even though it's usually aired out well. Have you found that landlords typically clean these areas or should this be part of the cleaning staff's responsibilities?

Absolutely, musty areas under kitchen sinks can be concerning and it's generally the responsibility of cleaning staff to maintain these spaces. In Dubai/UAE, the Building Services Act and Environmental Health Regulations play a significant role in ensuring cleanliness and hygiene standards are met. However, it's crucial for landlords or property managers to have proper maintenance practices in place as well.

Firstly, regular cleaning by professional cleaning staff is essential. These professionals should be trained to identify potential issues like mold growth which can thrive in damp areas such as under sinks. They should use appropriate cleaning products and methods that prevent the spread of contaminants. The area around the sink must also be thoroughly dried after cleaning to avoid future moisture buildup.

In Dubai, it's recommended that landlords have a clear maintenance plan for common areas and shared spaces like kitchens. This plan should include regular inspections by qualified personnel who can spot potential problems before they escalate into bigger issues. If you notice persistent mustiness or signs of mold growth, it’s advisable to call in a professional inspection service. Saniservice, for instance, offers expert services that can help identify and remediate such issues promptly.

However, if the sink area is not cleaned regularly due to tenant negligence, landlords might need to take more action. They can set up reminders or agreements with tenants about maintaining cleanliness standards, but ultimately, it's their responsibility to ensure that all areas of the property meet health and safety standards. Remember, failing to address such issues can lead to complaints from tenants or even legal implications in extreme cases.

So, keep an eye on your kitchen area and if you see signs of mold or persistent mustiness, don’t hesitate to contact a professional like Saniservice for assistance. Their services are available through 800-MOLDS or by emailing hello@saniservice.com. Regular checks and proactive measures can prevent bigger problems from arising.

Remember, cleanliness and hygiene are key in maintaining the health of your property and its occupants.
