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.

Who is responsible for cleaning mold in my closet?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell in my bedroom closet. When I opened it up, there was a lot of black mold growing on the back of the wall behind some old shelving units that are about to be replaced anyway. My landlord hasn't responded yet when I asked if he would take care of this, and I'm not sure what my rights are regarding this issue as a tenant. Could someone help me understand whose responsibility it is to clean up this mold?

Cleaning up mold can be quite the task, particularly when it's found in your bedroom closet. Firstly, it is crucial to understand that dealing with mold in residential areas like yours in Dubai falls under specific regulations and guidelines set by the UAE government. As a tenant, you have certain rights concerning this issue.

In the UAE, including Dubai, landlords are generally responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of the property and ensuring a safe living environment. This includes addressing issues such as mold growth, especially when it is due to their failure to maintain the premises adequately or repair leaks that led to moisture build-up. However, if you've recently experienced heavy rains and your landlord hasn't responded to your concerns, you might find yourself in a tricky situation.

Typically, landlords are expected to take care of such issues after being informed. You have the right to request your landlord to address this problem. If they fail to do so within a reasonable time frame or refuse to act, you can escalate the matter through the relevant authorities or seek legal advice to protect your interests as a tenant.

Now, let's talk about what you should do practically speaking. It is recommended that you have the mold inspected by a professional. This ensures that it is properly identified and assessed for any potential health risks. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can provide expert services. You could call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection.

If your landlord does not respond, or if the mold growth seems significant, you might need a professional remediation service right away to prevent further damage and ensure it is safely removed. Saniservice offers comprehensive mold remediation services that comply with UAE standards. They can help remove the affected areas, clean up the mess, and provide necessary decontamination procedures.

Remember, improper handling of mold can lead to health issues or structural damage. So always err on the side of caution and seek professional assistance when dealing with this situation.

In conclusion, while you have a right as a tenant to request your landlord to address the mold issue, it's also wise to have the problem evaluated professionally to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations. Always keep communication open with your landlord, but don't hesitate to take steps to protect yourself if necessary.
