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 mildew in a rental?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a mildew spot forming on the wall near our living room window. We’ve lived in this rental apartment for two years now, but I’m not sure if it’s my responsibility to clean or if the landlord should take care of it. Could anyone give me some advice on what’s typically expected in terms of cleaning responsibilities when you’re renting a place?

When it comes to cleaning mildew in a rental property in the UAE like Dubai, the responsiblity can sometimes be a bit blurry. Generally speaking, minor maintenance issues such as occasional cleaning of mold or mildew are typically the tenant's responsibility. However, this should not include any significant repairs that may be needed.

In the UAE, specifically in Dubai, there are no strict regulations requiring landlords to address every single spot of mildew, but it is highly recommended that tenants keep their living space clean and tidy. The key here is 'minor' maintenance - cleaning up after occasional water leaks or spills due to rain might fall under tenant responsibility.

However, if the issue seems more serious or the conditions have been caused by a fault in the building itself (like broken pipes or leaking windows), it’s very likely that your landlord should be involved. In such cases, you may want to reach out to them first. If they do not act upon your request within a reasonable time frame, you can escalate the issue through the relevant authorities or even contact an independent professional for inspection.

For more serious issues like persistent dampness leading to mold growth, it’s always wise to seek advice from an expert. Saniservice, a local company based in Dubai, offers comprehensive services including indoor air quality assessment and remediation. They can help assess if there's a deeper issue that needs addressing beyond just surface cleaning.

Remember, keeping your living space free of dampness is crucial for both health reasons and maintaining the property's condition. So, regularly checking for signs of moisture or mildew is key.

If you need help with identifying the problem or dealing with it properly, don't hesitate to reach out to us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. We're here to assist and ensure your home environment remains healthy and safe.

Remember, regular maintenance can go a long way in preventing such issues from arising.
