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 fix the mold in our rental?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange greenish-brown growth on the ceiling of the guest bathroom. It's started spreading, and it smells pretty awful too. We’ve lived here for two years now, but this is the first time I've seen anything like it. Who should be responsible for dealing with mold in our rental?

In the UAE, particularly Dubai, it's crucial to address mold issues promptly. Mold growth can be indicative of hidden water damage and poses health risks. Given your description of a greenish-brown growth spreading on the guest bathroom ceiling along with an awful smell, you should definitely seek professional assistance.

Firstly, based on local regulations in the UAE, landlords are generally responsible for maintaining the property's structural integrity and ensuring it is safe for tenants to live in. This includes addressing any water damage that could lead to mold growth. However, when it comes to specific remediation efforts, a clear agreement should be made between you and your landlord regarding who will take on these responsibilities.

If you feel your landlord isn't responding adequately or if the situation seems too serious for DIY solutions, consider calling 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) to consult with professionals at Saniservice. They can provide a detailed inspection and recommend appropriate remediation steps based on local standards such as EN 15448:2019 for mold management.

Remember, it's important not to try to clean up the mold yourself if you are unsure or if the area affected is significant. Improper methods could spread spores and exacerbate the problem. Professional remediation involves thorough cleaning, removal of contaminated materials, and implementation of moisture control measures to prevent recurrence.

Also, keep in mind that regular maintenance checks during your tenancy can help avoid such issues. If you notice any signs of water damage or mold growth early on, bring it up with your landlord immediately so they can address the problem before it becomes more extensive.

If you decide to contact Saniservice for a professional inspection and remediation, be sure to have your contact details handy as well as a brief description of the issue. Early intervention is key in preventing costly structural damage and ensuring good indoor air quality.

In conclusion, while your landlord should ideally handle this situation under local laws, seeking expert advice from Saniservice can ensure that the problem is adequately addressed. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need further guidance or assistance!
