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 fixing mold under kitchen tiles?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a lot of water seepage under the kitchen tiles, which has left an unpleasant moldy smell. The landlord hasn't shown any interest in fixing it despite my multiple requests. Am I expected to clean this myself or should they be handling it?

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it is generally expected that landlords take care of structural issues like water seepage and mold growth as they relate to the building's infrastructure. However, the responsibility can be nuanced based on your rental agreement terms.

Firstly, if you've noticed water seepage and a moldy smell under your kitchen tiles after heavy rains, it is advisable to notify your landlord immediately. Document this in writing with photos or videos of the issue for better record keeping. If no action follows, you may need to consider professional inspection services to assess the extent of the damage.

In Dubai, there are regulations that mandate landlords to ensure a property meets certain standards of habitability. Given the severity and potential health risks associated with mold growth, it might be worth calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for an expert evaluation. These professionals can provide you with a detailed report on the condition of your tiles and whether immediate action is necessary.

If the landlord refuses to address the issue after being notified, you could seek legal advice from local real estate lawyers who specialize in tenant rights to explore further steps. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for health and comfort; unaddressed mold can lead to respiratory issues, especially for people with allergies or asthma.

In the meantime, while it's not your responsibility to fix the tiles yourself, you can certainly take preventive measures such as ensuring proper ventilation in the kitchen area, using a dehumidifier if needed, and regularly checking for any signs of moisture or mold growth. This proactive approach will help prevent the situation from worsening until an appropriate solution is found.

Taking these steps will not only protect your health but also ensure that you have a safe living environment. If issues persist despite communication with your landlord, do not hesitate to seek professional assistance and advice.
