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.

Is dampness and AC usage landlords' responsibility?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a damp smell lingering in the basement of my apartment. The AC in this area always seems to be running extra hard, even when it isn't that hot outside. Could it be the landlord's responsibility to address any indoor air quality issues like mold or dampness?

Yes, dampness and AC usage can be landlords' responsibility. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, there are certain expectations on landlords regarding maintaining a safe living environment for tenants. However, the exact obligations may vary depending on your lease agreement as well as local regulations.

Firstly, if you notice a persistent damp smell or signs of mold growth in your basement after heavy rains, it is advisable to address these issues promptly. Mold can not only cause unpleasant odors but also pose health risks like respiratory problems and allergies. The UAE Ministry of Economy’s Real Estate Agency Regulations (No. 13 of 2008) require landlords to ensure that properties are in a habitable condition at all times.

If you suspect mold or dampness, it's highly recommended to conduct a professional inspection. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive indoor air quality assessments and can help identify the source of moisture issues. Our team can also provide remediation services if necessary, ensuring that your apartment is safe and healthy for living.

In terms of AC usage, while it’s important to ensure proper functioning of cooling systems, the responsibility lies in maintaining a comfortable temperature within the property. However, extreme conditions or malfunctions might require prompt attention from the landlord. If you find that the AC seems to be running excessively even when there's no need for significant cooling, this could indicate inefficiency or damage that needs repair.

If you feel your landlord is not taking appropriate action, it’s best to document any issues and communicate with them formally. Keep records of any maintenance requests, conversations, and relevant correspondence. If the issue persists, consider seeking legal advice or contacting consumer protection services in Dubai for assistance.

Remember, regular inspections can help prevent major problems down the line. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need further guidance or support – contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. We're here to help ensure your indoor environment is clean, safe, and healthy!
