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 ducts?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a lot of dirt accumulating on the grills of all the vents in my rental apartment. The kitchen especially seems to have a lingering odor that I think might be from the ducts. It's been about two years since the place was renovated, and I'm not sure if it’s standard practice for landlords to clean the ducts or if tenants are responsible for such tasks. Could someone clarify what is typically expected in terms of maintaining the air quality here?

Hey there! A common concern for tenants and landlords alike regarding duct cleaning is who's responsible. In the UAE, specifically in Dubai, there isn’t a strict law mandating the frequency of duct cleaning. However, it’s generally expected that the landlord will ensure the air quality is maintained to an acceptable standard during their responsibility period. That being said, if you've noticed a significant accumulation of dirt or dust and are experiencing odor issues, it could be time for a thorough inspection.

Given how severe the recent storm was, I'd recommend having your ducts inspected by professionals. Duct cleaning can significantly improve indoor air quality and eliminate odors that might linger due to particulates, mold spores, or other contaminants. A professional inspection will also help determine if there are any issues beyond just dust accumulation.

In Dubai, many property management companies do not include regular duct cleaning as part of their maintenance services. However, it is highly recommended for both comfort and health reasons. Many tenants opt to have their ducts cleaned every 3-5 years depending on the level of use and local climate conditions—like in a dusty environment such as yours.

If you decide to proceed with a professional service, call us at 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or email hello@saniservice.com. We offer comprehensive duct cleaning services that can help restore the air quality of your home and address any lingering odors.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for everyone’s health, especially with the hot and dry climate we experience here in Dubai. If you're still unsure about who should handle this task or if there are other steps you need to take, don't hesitate to reach out for a consultation.

Hope this helps!
