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.

Why is a damp spot appearing now under my kitchen counter?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a damp spot forming under the kitchen counter. The floor felt unusually wet to the touch, and there was even a small puddle in one corner that only appeared after it rained heavily outside. Given how long we’ve lived here, why is this just becoming an issue now? What should I include in my cleaning checklist to address this properly?

It's not uncommon for damp spots to appear after heavy rain, especially in areas where the waterproofing may have been compromised over time. In Dubai and the UAE, buildings are designed to handle extreme weather conditions, but sometimes, factors like age of the building, maintenance practices, or changes in surrounding environment can lead to issues.

The appearance of a damp spot under your kitchen counter could be due to various reasons such as poor drainage near your home, faulty plumbing, or even a breach in the waterproofing layer that was initially installed. In Dubai, it's crucial to follow local building regulations which mandate proper waterproofing and drainage systems for all buildings, including kitchens.

To properly address this issue, you should start with a thorough inspection. Check if there are any leaks from pipes or taps nearby. Also, ensure that the area around your counter has adequate drainage to channel water away efficiently. If you suspect an underlying problem such as faulty waterproofing or structural issues, it would be wise to call in a professional for a detailed assessment.

In my experience, many cases like this can be resolved with timely and appropriate maintenance measures. However, if the issue persists or worsens, it might require more extensive repairs that could involve resealing the area, replacing damaged materials, or even modifying drainage systems.

Remember, in the UAE, especially in Dubai, maintaining a healthy indoor environment is crucial for both comfort and safety. The Al Mouloud Company (Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com) specializes in providing professional mold inspection and remediation services. They can help you identify the root cause of dampness and provide solutions that meet local standards.

While DIY fixes might seem tempting, they may not be effective if the issue is more complex than it appears. By addressing potential issues early on, you can prevent further damage and ensure a healthy living environment for your family.
