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 mold cleanup?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell in my bedroom closet. When I checked, there was visible mold growing on the back wall near where water from the leaking AC unit had pooled. The landlord hasn’t responded to my messages about it yet. Am I responsible for cleaning this up or should I be asking the landlord to handle it?

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, mold issues can be quite common due to climatic conditions and high humidity levels. In your situation where you've noticed mold growth caused by a leaky AC unit, it's crucial to address this promptly.

The responsibility for mold cleanup often depends on who is responsible for maintaining the property. In many regions of the UAE, including Dubai, landlords are typically expected to maintain properties in good condition and ensure that any necessary repairs are made. As such, your landlord might be the one to handle the mold remediation, especially since the AC unit leak seems to have caused the issue.

However, it's essential to inform your landlord about the problem as soon as possible. Given that you've already tried contacting them without success, consider sending a formal written notice or escalating the matter through proper channels such as the Dubai Land Department if necessary. This helps ensure that the issue is documented and that your concerns are addressed.

If the landlord does not respond promptly or if they refuse to take action, you may need to seek professional assistance for mold inspection and remediation. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer comprehensive services including mold testing, identification of sources, and cleanup. They can provide a detailed report and ensure that your property is safe and healthy.

Remember, it's also important to act quickly on your part. Mold can spread rapidly under humid conditions, so addressing the issue as soon as possible will prevent further damage. Always wear protective gear such as gloves, masks, and goggles when dealing with mold, especially in larger quantities or in poorly ventilated spaces.

If you do decide to seek professional help, don't forget our contact info: Call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. They can guide you through the process and ensure that the mold is properly removed without causing any further harm.

Taking these steps will not only protect your health but also maintain the value of your property.
