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 should clean the musty hallway?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a slight musty smell in the hallway near the elders' room. Since we’ve lived here for 2 years and just noticed this, I’m unsure about whose responsibility it is to clean that area—me or the landlord? Could someone with experience in rentals share what they think should be done in this situation?

When it comes to addressing the musty smell in your hallway near the elders' room, it's important to consider both practical and regulatory aspects. In Dubai/UAE, landlords are typically responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of a property and ensuring that it is free from significant health hazards like mold, especially if these issues arise due to their negligence or lack of maintenance.

However, before jumping into cleaning responsibilities, I'd recommend reaching out to your landlord first. Many rental agreements in Dubai include clauses specifying who's responsible for what, so it would be wise to review yours and see if there are any stipulations regarding property upkeep. If the issue is due to recent rain and you've only noticed it now after two years, you might want to communicate this fact to your landlord.

If your landlord doesn't take action or the smell persists despite their efforts, I'd advise scheduling a professional inspection. In Dubai, there are specific regulations concerning indoor environmental quality (IEQ) that landlords must adhere to. The Dubai Municipality and other relevant authorities can offer guidance on permissible levels of moisture and mold in properties.

Should you decide to proceed with cleaning, ensure you use appropriate techniques and products. For instance, using a mixture of water and bleach or a specialized anti-mold cleaner can be effective. However, always wear protective gear like gloves and masks when handling such chemicals.

Remember, if the smell is persistent or if you notice any visible signs of mold, it's crucial to address it promptly. Mold not only affects indoor air quality but can also cause respiratory issues, especially for elderly individuals who are more susceptible to health problems.

For professional assistance, don’t hesitate to contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. They offer reliable and expert services tailored to the UAE market.

Lastly, if you find that your landlord is not responsive, consider seeking legal advice from a real estate lawyer in Dubai to ensure your rights are protected.
