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.

Am I justified in asking landlord to fix dampness?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell in the bedroom closet of my rental apartment. My son has been complaining of chest tightness and coughing more frequently since we moved into this unit two years ago. The AC seems to be adding to the dampness even though it’s turned on almost constantly. Is it reasonable for me to request that the landlord address these issues, or am I overstepping my boundaries as a tenant?

Absolutely, you're well within your rights to request that your landlord address the dampness and musty smell in your bedroom closet. The conditions you've described could indeed be contributing factors to asthma symptoms, particularly in children, and are not uncommon in Dubai's climate or in older properties.

In the UAE, especially in regions like Dubai, humidity levels can sometimes rise during certain seasons, leading to potential issues with dampness in poorly ventilated areas such as closets. The persistent musty smell suggests that moisture might be accumulating, possibly due to a malfunctioning AC system running almost constantly or poor insulation.

Given the potential health implications for your son's asthma and your own well-being, it would be wise to have an inspection done by a professional environmental consultant who can assess the situation accurately. This is particularly important as per UAE building codes which emphasize indoor air quality and structural integrity of properties.

You might consider calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for an expert consultation. They can provide you with a detailed report on the state of your apartment, including recommendations to mitigate moisture issues.

In the meantime, here are some practical steps you could take:
1. Improve ventilation in the closet by opening it during daylight hours if possible.
2. Use dehumidifiers or air purifiers to help reduce dampness and allergens.
3. Ensure that your AC system is regularly serviced to function optimally and efficiently.

Remember, maintaining a dry environment can significantly reduce allergen presence and improve respiratory health for individuals with asthma. If the landlord doesn't address these issues satisfactorily, it may be necessary to escalate the matter through formal channels or seek legal advice if needed.

Stay proactive about your health and the health of your family by taking these steps.
